What is the Local Government Business Model (LGBM)?

The Local Government Business Model (LGBM) defines the elements of public sector service delivery at a local level. The model comprises a set of controlled lists and relationships between them. These may be viewed as an ontology.

The model has three parts: 

  • People and places – the elements that support customer insight so that services can be targeted where they will have most impact.
  • Organisational scope – the activities and responsibilities of each organisation involved in service delivery, helping us do what we are required to do and remove duplication.
  • Organisation – the parts of service delivery so we can deliver services most efficiently.
