Let’s just say it: effective local governance is hard work. It means ensuring that the right structures are in place for effective and efficient decision-making practices; and, it means supporting the people involved to work well together.

We bring a structured, evidence-based approach to governance reviews that begins with a data-informed assessment of governance in practice in your own municipality. We explore current structures and norms, benchmark against peer jurisdictions, and engage leaders in considering solutions and new approaches.

New governance approaches work best when they are co-created and supported by the people involved. We take a collaborative approach to facilitating reflection and improvement of local governance in practice.
