integrated planning

Supporting the design and implementation of comprehensive integrated strategic planning frameworks

Integrate vision, purpose, key plans with cross functional collaboration to align resource allocation and improve coordination.

service planning & review

Development of a fit-for-purpose service planning and review framework to support financial sustainability and document quality and cost standards.

A typical framework will include:

• Service architecture

Governance

Improved relationships and coordinated decision mechanisms between councillor groups and executive and administration is essential to achieve high performance.

Public value and decision frameworks will define respective roles and responsibilities and create the conditions for success.
