The Ministry of Labour and Government Administration (AAD) is therefore presenting this guide on how agencies can organize their work on drawing up these service declarations. 
Arbeids- og administrasjonsdepartementet (AAD) presenterer derfor denne veilederen om hvordan virksomhetene kan legge opp sitt arbeid med å utvikle slike serviceerklæringer.
All central government agencies are to draw up service declarations for their users by the end of 2000. 
Alle statlige virksomheter skal innen utgangen av 2000 ha utarbeidet serviceerklæringer for sine brukere.
The guide is intended to serve as practical support for government agencies, and it should be emphasized that it only contains proposals on how a central government agency can proceed when drawing up a service declaration. 
Veilederen er ment som en praktisk støtte for virksomhetene, og det må presiseres at den kun er et forslag til hvordan en statlig virksomhet kan gå fram for å lage en serviceerklæring.
The various agencies must evaluate their own situation, their own users and their own operating conditions when drawing up a service declaration. 
Den enkelte virksomhet må selv vurdere sin egen situasjon, sine egne brukere og sine egne rammevilkår når de skal utarbeide sin serviceerklæring.
The brochure was prepared by the Directorate of Public Management and was commissioned by the Ministry of Labour and Government Administration. 
Veilederen er utarbeidet av Statskonsult på oppdrag fra Arbeids- og administrasjonsdepartementet.

Oslo, mai 2000
Service declarations are one of the instruments in the work on creating a user-oriented government administration. 
Serviceerklæringer er ett av virkemidlene i arbeidet med å skape en brukerorientert forvaltning.
Service declarations shall provide users with information about aspects that are important in their dealings with government agencies. 
Serviceerklæringene skal gi brukerne informasjon om forhold som er sentrale i deres møte med statlige virksomheter.
An agency’s service declaration shall, as a minimum, contain the following: 
En virksomhets serviceerklæring skal som et minimumskrav inneholde informasjon om følgende:
The agency’s functions 
Virksomhetens oppgaver
The services that are provided 
Tjenester som ytes
Rights and duties connected to the service 
Rettigheter og plikter som knytter seg til tjenesten
Access to information and complaints procedure 
Innsyns- og klagemuligheter
Response and processing times for important services 
Svar- og saksbehandlingstider for sentrale tjenester
Service declarations shall provide concrete, realistic and relevant information on one or more services. 
Serviceerklæringene skal gi konkret, realistisk og relevant informasjon om én eller flere tjenester.
This means that the agency must: 
Dette betyr at virksomheten må:
Identify its users 
Avklare hvem som er deres brukere
Identify users’ information requirements 
Avklare brukernes informasjonsbehov
Determine what the agency is actually able to provide 
Avklare hva virksomheten faktisk er i stand til å yte
Establish specific and verifiable targets for services that are important to users within given laws, regulations and resource limits 
Sette konkrete og etterprøvbare mål for forhold som er viktig for brukerne, innenfor gitte lover, regler og ressursrammer.
Organize the work so that the agency achieves the goals set out in the service declaration (good routines) 
Organisere arbeidet slik at virksomheten når målene i serviceerklæringen (gode rutiner)
Inform users of the goals and undertake a commitment to them 
Informere brukerne om målene og forplikte seg i forhold til dem
Establish sound routines for feedback from users on their experience 
Etablere gode tilbakemeldingsrutiner fra brukerne om deres erfaringer
This will be the case if the agency places emphasis on results, focuses attention on users and ensures good communication in that the agency learns from and follows up the feedback from users. 
Dette kan skje dersom virksomheten legger vekt på resultater, retter oppmerksomheten mot brukerne og sikrer god kommunikasjon ved at virksomheten lærer av og følger opp de tilbakemeldingene som kommer fra brukerne.
Why is a service declaration useful? 
Hvilken nytteverdi har en serviceerklæring?
There are costs associated with both producing the service declaration and ensuring that the agency develops the quality necessary to satisfy the requirements of this declaration. 
Det innebærer kostnader både å produsere serviceerklæringen og å sikre at virksomheten utvikler nødvendig kvalitet for å oppfylle kravene til en slik erklæring..
This quality development is nevertheless an investment for preventing inadequate information, errors and deficiencies in administrative procedures, an inefficient use of resources, a low level of expertise and a number of other negative elements. 
Slik kvalitetsutvikling er allikevel en investering for å hindre dårlig informasjon, feil og mangler i saksbehandlingen, ineffektiv ressursbruk, lav kompetanse og en rekke andre forhold.
These contribute to poor quality and considerable costs. 
Disse forholdene medvirker til dårlig kvalitet og store kostnader.
Satisfactory quality costs something 
Tilfredsstillende kvalitet koster noe
Poor quality costs considerably more 
Lav kvalitet koster mye mer
II STARTING UP 
II Igangsetting
2 Preconditions 
2 Forutsetninger
2.1 Commitment to the work 
2.1 Forankring av arbeidet
Society and the public sector itself are continuously demanding improvements in government agencies. 
Samfunnet og offentlig sektor selv stiller stadig krav til forbedringer av virksomheter.
This may relate to instructions to enhance quality in the performance of tasks or the introduction of new measures and systems. 
Det kan dreie seg om pålegg om kvalitetsheving i oppgaveløsninger eller innføringen av nye tiltak og systemer.
This results in a need for changes that may be demanding for both managers and employees. 
Dette medfører behov for endringer som kan være krevende både for ledere og for ansatte.
Drawing up service declarations is a measure that must also be viewed as part of the improvement of internal management and the requirements associated with target-oriented and performance management. 
Utarbeidelse av serviceerklæringer er et tiltak som også må ses som en del av forbedringen av den interne styringen og av kravene i mål- og resultatstyringen.
If the work on service declarations is to be successful, it is essential that the entire organization recognizes the need for quality development. 
For at man skal lykkes i arbeidet med serviceerklæringen er det vesentlig at hele organisasjonen ser behovet for kvalitetsutvikling.
If management and employees are not sufficiently committed to the work, it may easily turn into a "paper exercise". 
Dersom arbeidet ikke er godt nok forankret i ledelsen og de ansatte, kan dette lett bli en ”papirøvelse”.
The entire organization must therefore be included in the work from the start. 
Hele virksomheten må derfor trekkes med i arbeidet fra starten.
In particular, those who are in direct contact with users should have a key function. 
Særlig bør de som har direkte kontakt med brukerne ha en sentral funksjon.
It is therefore not sufficient that a small, isolated group performs the work alone. 
Det er derfor ikke nok at en liten, isolert gruppe gjør arbeidet alene.
Cooperation and motivation on the part of all employees are necessary in order to make headway. 
For å drive arbeidet fremover er samarbeid og motivasjon hos alle ansatte nødvendig.
Management must ensure that the necessary conditions are in place for achieving this. 
Ledelsen må sørge for å legge forholdene til rette for å få til dette.
Management must be involved in the start-up phase, in the process and, not least, in connection with the use and follow-up of service declarations. 
Ledelsen må være involvert både i startfasen, underveis og ikke minst ved bruken og oppfølgingen av serviceerklæringene.
As with other efforts to enhance quality, service declarations are dependent on the employees’ professional skills and personal attitudes. 
Som i øvrig kvalitetsarbeid er serviceerklæringer avhengig av de ansattes faglige kvalitet og personlige holdninger.
It will be difficult to achieve good results if employees are not motivated to follow up service declarations and the service they provide to users. 
Dersom de ansatte ikke er motivert til å følge opp serviceerklæringene og behandlingen av brukerne, vil det være vanskelig å oppnå et godt resultat.
2.2 An organization focused on users and quality 
2.2 En bruker- og kvalitetsorientert virksomhet
2.2.1 Characteristics 
2.2.1 Kjennetegn
Many agencies have already made considerable progress in work focused on quality or users. 
Mange virksomheter har i dag kommet godt i gang med én eller annen form for kvalitets- eller brukerorientert arbeid.
These agencies are characterized by the following: 
Kjennetegn ved slike virksomheter er at de
they perform the required tasks in a way that is satisfactory for users 
utfører lovpålagte oppgaver på en måte som er tilfredsstillende for brukerne
they are able to provide services beyond those required – that is "service" 
er i stand til å yte tjenester ut over det pålagte – det vil si yte "service"
they have stable and predictable work processes which ensure that they can make specific promises, and that they can fulfil these promises – every time 
har stabile og forutsigbare arbeidsprosesser som sikrer at de kan gå ut med konkrete løfter, og kan holde det de lover – hver gang
they have employees with high personal qualities 
har ansatte med høy personlig kvalitet
they are evolving based on changes in their surroundings 
at de er i utvikling basert på endringer i omverdenen
The experience of service declarations to date indicates that it is not sufficient to involve those who are in daily contact with users. 
De erfaringene man til nå har med serviceerklæringer, tyder på at det ikke er nok å involvere dem som har daglig kontakt med brukerne.
The entire production line (value added chain) must participate to ensure that the services provided are at the level of service that has been stipulated. 
Hele produksjonslinjen (verdiskapningskjeden) må være med for å sikre at tjenestene og servicen som ytes er på det servicenivået som er bestemt.
A key precondition is that the entire organization sees the need for quality development and is prepared for an evaluation of and improvement in all work processes. 
En sentral forutsetning er at hele organisasjonen ser behovet for kvalitetsutvikling og er innstilt på at alle arbeidsprosesser må vurderes og at de kan forbedres.
The agency must be organized in such a way that users obtain the right services in a stable and predictable manner. 
Virksomheten må organiseres på en slik måte at brukerne får de riktige tjenestene på en stabil og forutsigbar måte.
A sound follow-up of user feedback and employees’ experience must be in place in order to achieve continuous improvements. 
Det må legges opp til en god oppfølging av brukernes tilbakemeldinger og de ansattes erfaringer for å få til en kontinuerlig forbedring.
