Governance

A GEMS project will not even begin, let alone survive, without having won over the hearts and minds of the key senior people in the organisations involved.  This will involve a significant amount of consultative legwork by what is likely to be a small team. The team will have spent time approaching key public sector procurers and private sector suppliers within the market to sell them the benefits of engaging in a GEMS project to shape their market. Buy-in is essential for progress and ultimate success.

From the Kelly experience, the ultimate governance will be left to a market supervisory group to implement the recommendations and provide an overarching and longer-term perspective. For example, the OGC Public Sector Construction Clients Forum (PSCCF) was established for the construction market and Defra's Waste Infrastructure Development Programme was established to take forward the second Kelly market recommendations.

GEMS is a useful tool that can be used to assist preparation for an OGC Gateway 0 (Strategic) Review of a market-related programme.
