Municipal Government Digital and Service Delivery Transformation

The situation

A municipal government relied heavily on paper-based routing, manual data entry, radio dispatching, decentralized operational information and limited real-time visibility into field operations. The organization deployed more than 250 residential routes each week and also managed commercial, bulk-item, barrel-delivery and roll-off services.

The challenge

It needed to modernize service delivery, improve route management, strengthen service verification, reduce administrative work and create a more effective operational data environment.

The ISI approach

ISI Consulting Group served as Program Manager and transformation lead, partnering with government leadership, Solid Waste Operations, IT, GIS, Customer Service, Procurement, Fleet Services, Human Resources, Legal and external technology providers.

Implementation

The work included requirements definition, pilot planning, vendor coordination, statement of work development, governance, process mapping, KPI design, change management, stakeholder engagement, training planning, testing requirements, risk management and implementation readiness.

Lean Government principles were applied through waste elimination, workflow simplification, process redesign, digitization and performance measurement.
