Reshape your council for what's actually coming.

Reform keeps redefining the work. We help you design the structure, roles and ways of working that fit your community and your budget, with your people involved from day one.

Where we help

From a single function review to whole-of-organisation redesign

Functional redesign

One directorate or service reshaped around the work it needs to do.

Role architecture

Clear skills, roles, spans and accountabilities, so nobody wonders who owns what.

Whole-of-org redesign

Full structural redesign for amalgamation, shared services or a new strategy.

Change management

Honest, human change support that keeps trust intact while the structure changes.

Consultation support

Formal consultation planned, documented and run properly.

Our approach

Four steps, no surprises

Step 1
Diagnose

Understand the work, the demand and the constraints. Data plus listening, across every level.

Step 2
Design

A set of options, each one designed with your people.

Step 3
Test

Pressure-test the design against real scenarios before anyone's role changes.

Step 4
Plan

A sequenced transition plan your ELT can stand behind and your people can follow.
