tisk av Bertelsmann. Hvordan, vet de ikke i detaij ennå men de vil trolig til dels
benytte konsulenter.
For min del har jeg startet søke-prosedyren vi avtalte i Oslo ved at jeg har fått en
gruppe innsiktsfulle kommunefolk (deriblant representanter for Kommunenes
Sentralforbund) til å foreslå noen kommuner. Jeg ga dem til utfylling det lille
skjemiaet som jeg legger ved her. Jeg vil også henvende meg (uformelt) til kontakter
i Kommunaldepartementet. Larrys del vil være å seks i den nordiske database.
I tillegg får vi bruke vårt eget skjønn.

“The Carl Bertelsmann Prize - Farum Municipality
What first and foremost characterizes Farum Municipality is a tax reduction over
9 years from 21.3 % to 17.7% that is a reduction of 3.6% equivalent to a reduction
of tax revenue of 70 million Danish kroner.
The central idea of the increase in efficiency which has taken place in the administration
of Farum Municipality, is that it has primarily been carried out internally
through rationalizations of administrative functions, by cutting away specific
functions, and by implementing untraditional methods within the technical sector.
The service to citizens has not been subject to any resource reduction, on the contrary
as service has been increased in a number of areas.
Tax reductions have also been followed up by a continuous service development.
This service development is reflected in the establishment of a Town Hall Shop
and a Citizen Shop respectively at the new town hall. Nothing has been spared to
make it easy for the citizens both physically and information-wise to find their
way around. Moreover a deliberate in service training effort has been made in order
to influence the attitudes of all employees toward bringing “the customer” into
focus.
Furthermore a number of precise goal formulations have been introduced into the
administration. By way of example may be mentioned that a board with the general
objectives (10 commandments) of service production is placed outside the
City Council meeting hall.
At the concrete level the precise goal formulations have been followed up by periodic
measurements of goal related activities.
The municipality has also introduced a very extensive form of decentralization
with great autonomy for municipal institutions. In the field of education the selfgoverning
administration is furthermore followed up by a free choice of institution.
