CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES, PROCUREMENT DIVISION, PROCUREMENT PROGRAM TRANSFORMATION PLAN DEVELOPMENT

During 2008, we completed development of a Procurement Program Transformation Plan. As part of this program development and planning project, we researched and prepared an historical profile of the development of the Procurement Program, from creation of the Department of General Services during the mid-1960s through 2007, and summarized the statutes, regulations, and policies governing the current program. We also developed a Future State Vision for a more capable and mature Procurement Division organization and an integrated set of twenty-five (25) major tasks for initiating transformation of the Procurement Division toward higher capability and maturity levels. The Future State Vision contemplates achievement of a higher level of maturity in terms of the completeness, consistency, and level of sophistication of (1) the processes used for acquiring needed goods and services, (2) the processes used to develop PD and customer agency workforce capabilities to perform these acquisition processes, and (3) the processes and workforce capabilities used to oversee and manage the statewide Procurement Program, including the processes used to initiate and manage changes to the program.

CALIFORNIA STATE TREASURER'S OFFICE, TAX CREDIT ALLOCATION COMMITTEE, COMPLIANCE WORKLOAD ANALYSIS

During 2008, we completed a detailed workload and staffing analysis of the TCAC's Compliance Program. As part of the assessment, we collected, compiled, and analyzed detailed historical and current workload, backlog, staffing, and performance data for each major business process. A set of automated models was developed for use in projecting workload and staffing requirements by function and for the Compliance Program as a whole. Additionally, we completed assessments of alternative organizational and business process reengineering strategies, including costs and benefits of establishing a satellite office in Southern California and costs and benefits of using outside contractors to perform property inspection services. Finally, we assisted TCAC in preparing a Budget Change Proposal for a significant increase in staffing and substantial funding for outside services that was accepted by the Department of Finance with only minimal modifications.
