Flexible Workforce, Leadership, and Training

We provide tailored HR solutions to address councils’ workforce needs, including interim leadership for key roles such as CEO, General Manager, Director of Corporate Services, and Finance Manager. Our services also cover the full recruitment process, from advertising and screening to interviewing, and we deliver council-mandated training programs, leadership mentoring, and support for staff affected by redundancies through outplacement programs.

Sustainability, Compliance, and Operational Efficiency

Our financial expertise helps councils strengthen their operations by conducting internal audits to ensure compliance and mitigate risk. We perform productivity and efficiency reviews to improve financial processes, manage tenders for council insurance needs, and develop sustainable financial models that support long-term stability and resource optimization.

Strengthening Policies and Oversight

We support councils in maintaining strong governance and managing risk by reviewing and updating policies and procedures to ensure compliance with current standards. Our services also include conducting external reviews and investigations and providing expert support to Audit, Risk, and Improvement Committees (ARIC) to enhance oversight and accountability.

Enhancing Technology and Digital Capabilities

We assist councils in optimizing their IT systems and digital presence. This includes developing and implementing council websites using platforms like OpenCities, managing website content and performance analytics with tools such as Monsido and Google Analytics, and assessing IT systems to recommend improvements for greater operational efficiency.

Clear Messaging and Funding Support

Our communications services ensure councils connect effectively with stakeholders by managing website and social media content to maintain relevance and engagement. We analyze communication performance to refine strategies and write compelling grant proposals to secure critical funding for council projects and initiatives.

We help councils build stronger relationships with residents and stakeholders by facilitating public consultations, creating comprehensive engagement plans, and advising on best practices for stakeholder management. Our strategies focus on fostering transparency, trust, and collaboration to enhance community connections.
