Central to the theme of crossjurisdiction collaboration is the notion that the new model will address a specific problem or opportunity. That creates a natural starting point: identifying the desired goals and objectives that the change enables and the feasibility of implementation. Essentially, there are three primary objectives for any collaboration: improving effectiveness, enhancing efficiency or creating new capabilities. Improving effectiveness in government means better government services at the same cost. Improving efficiencies in government entails reducing the costs associated with providing a service. Creating new capabilities requires developing new services not provided already by the current jurisdictions. Drivers for Cross-Jurisdictional Enterprise Models What is the desired outcome? Improve effectiveness Improve efficiencies Enable new capabilities The resulting objectives must be politically, legally and economically feasible. Political assessment will help determine what is realistic—what can be done based on elected officials, term limits, media outreach, citizen involvement and other political factors. Various stakeholders can have a strong impact on the feasibility of an outcome. For example, in Santa Clarita, California, the city has considered outsourcing the library system to a private entity, which has had a significant public backlash, impeding the potential benefits to the outsourced service. Legislative constraints may restrict certain types of collaboration, and thus understanding these constraints is a critical early step. Finally, the economics of the situation may suggest that collaboration is not feasible or, alternatively, may push in the direction of a specific model. With all of these dimensions, it is important to know what “deal breakers” exist. What is the feasibility of the change?
