Overview
Corporate Transformation is a relatively new Directorate established to increase the Scottish Government s capacity and capability to shape and deliver transformational corporate change.
The Directorate will bring structure and governance to the setting of priorities, and manage the delivery of many key projects and programmes.
Our focus is delivery and, in order to ensure our future success, we need experienced, forward thinking professionals to come and join us!
Systems and processes put in place some time ago are no longer fit for the government we have become, and for the journey ahead. Core services and capabilities need refreshed, creating new levels of service, ease of use, and productivity gains.
Our value within the organisation is in problem resolution and the creation and delivery of services which enables the organisation as a whole.
The Transformation Design and Architecture Division is home to people with business, data and digital architecture, design and analysis skills and expertise. People from the division will work on understanding what the future state for corporate services needs to look like, and the stepping stones we need to take to get there understanding our target business architecture, our overall data strategy for corporate services, and the components that together make up the corporate platform .
The team will also support programmes or projects that become initiatives in our roadmap. The Shared Services Programme is the first of these and is transforming our finance and HR services by moving to a standard set of best practice processes and features and adopting a new integrated cloud platform.
As the Business Analyst, your initial focus will be to support the Shared Services Programme but in time, to work across the entire corporate transformation portfolio. You may also be involved in pre-delivery project activities such as contributing to business case construction, option appraisal etc .
