Future-proof your Council with strategic planning
Fundamental to the success of any business is clarity on vision, direction, expectations and priorities.
We have developed many community strategic plans, and numerous corporate/strategic plans, for councils and corporations, and we have assisted executive teams in developing their organisation strategic plans and priorities. We have a strong commitment to facilitating strategic documents and frameworks that drive decision-making and are implemented on the ground.
Section 333 of the Local Government Act requires each Council to redetermine its organisation structure in the first 12 months of the new term.
We have real expertise in conducting and facilitating community workshops, leading to the development of community strategies, which the Council can build into a draft Community Strategic Plan.
We enjoy working with executive leadership teams to review and develop organisation strategies and to evaluate the organisation's priorities in the use of scarce resources.
We conduct benchmarking exercises to compare the performance of specific services, and to compare organisational performance against similar organisations, identifying best practices for your internal services and operations.
Whether assisting with developing community strategic plans or organisation strategies, we have the skills and abilities to assist Council.
Our approach
- Undertaking stakeholder engagement, calling on an array of appropriate methods
- Ensuring that the engagement covers Council's need for a Disability Inclusion Action Plan
- Guiding Council in the development of genuine strategies, rather than populating the CSP with a meaningless wish list
- Identifying opportunities to build capability in Council staff, particularly so that they can develop the Delivery Program and Operational Plan themselves
