Government Support Platform
SmartVision
From vision to government program
For most administrators it’s clear what needs to be done. The biggest challenge however is to translate vision into concrete plans.
This is where SmartVision comes in: the first tool built for ministers to support them in compiling their government program. GPS-like guidance helps officials overcome their overwhelming workload by supporting them in formulating their goals, piorities and expected impact. Combining best practices from the region with their own vision.
With SmartVision policy choices can be justified. The financial impact, risks, challenges and assumptions are all registered in SmartVision, so that an overview of policy choices can be shared with stakeholders
How it works
We kick off the process with a mindmapping session facilitated by BearingPoint in which we classify all possible initiatives that fit within your policy agenda. Furthermore BearingPoint shares best practices as experienced in other Caribbean countries. The results of the mindmapping session are translated to SmartVision, in order to:
- Register and categorize policy initiatives
- Set priorities
- Set targets
- Estimate financial impact of initiatives on government budgets
- Recap initiatives
- Recap risks and challenges
- Delve into the regional best practices library
- Prepare presentations to show concrete initiatives that follow from the SmartVision process
- Transfer initiatives into the SmartStart tool, so your initiatives can be turned into projects
- Transfer initiatives into the SmartDashboard tool where you can monitor the progress
With the SmartVision tool, you can make your vision happen. To get started, contact us.
SmartStart
From government program to projects
In our small scale communities it is usually a challenge to bridge the expertise gaps to start complex projects. SmartStart facilitates this process. With SmartStart government officials have the tool to execute the government program efficiently. SmartStart supports the whole cycle of starting up projects, from creating a business case and obtaining stakeholder’s buy-in to tendering and contracting. The tool is easy-to-use and contains an extended library of best practices and interactive templates.
How it works
SmartStart gives GPS-like guidance, so officials do not get overwhelmed in the start-up phase of the project. Work towards measurable, achievable results and have the proof of your work at your fingertips.
SmartStart helps officials:
- Define targets and goals
- Prepare a detailed business case including return on investment
- Identify and select potential suppliers
- Select an appropriate procurement process
- Prepare for a tender if necessary: built-in knowledge helps you decide on the type of tender, write your RFI, TOR or RFP
- Document the project process for accountability and learning points.

SmartDashboard
Monitoring progress and escalating issues
Oftentimes strategic initiatives fail to reach the desired results because the progress of their execution is not closely monitored and issues that hamper the progress are not being resolved in time or at the appropriate level.
SmartDashboard helps ministers and government officials to track the progress of the implementation of the Government program and guide the strategic initiatives toward their ultimate goals. SmartDashboard provides a platform to monitor and report the progress of the strategic initiatives and to effectively manage related emerging issues.
Cross-ministerial collaboration to achieve strategic goals
Aimed at the top executive level, online insight is provided to identify and tackle interfering obstacles in an early stage. SmartDashboard facilitates collaboration between ministries on interrelated projects, contributing to faster decision-making. With SmartDashboard the approach to Government program implementation can be fundamentally improved as it ensures collective engagement to achieve strategic goals for the country.
