Local Government Reorganisation(LGR)

Experienced Programme Delivery Support

 

Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is a complex, and transformational programme of work, that will ultimately impact thousands of residents, businesses, visitors, staff and Councillors. It also brings enormous opportunities to transform at a time when financial pressures and delivery challenges for Local Authorities have never been greater.

 

To safely navigate and optimise the road ahead, you will need real experts to guide you, based on a deep understanding of the opportunities and pitfalls, and most of all, the real-life consequences of the decisions you will take.

​

We combine knowledge, experience and a successful LGR track record to ensure your existing Councils end well and the new Unitary Councils get the best possible start.

 

How do we do that?​

We take a flexible approach, providing guidance, advice and hands-on support when and where you need it throughout all stages of your LGR Programme and beyond including:

• Health checks and assurance

• Programme setup and governance

• Risk and issue management

• Delivery planning 

• Day 1 readiness and legacy close-down

• Stakeholder mapping and coordination

• Programme team mobilisation and resourcing

• Transformation and benefits realisation delivery and

• Post implementation stabilisation

​​

The tools to help you

We can help you with Business Cases, risk and opportunities assessments of proposals, facilitate discussions on blueprint development, transition planning and day 1 delivery alongside our trusted Partners, and use our unique Programme Assurance Delivery (PAD) framework to ensure your LGR Journey is a success.

​

Ensuring success

Our Programme Assurance Delivery Framework is a structured risk-led approach based on lived LGR experience from transition through to post vesting day transformation. It provides:

• Confidence that your programme is well managed

• Governance and capability health checks

• Risk assessments based on past LGR lessons and issues

• Assurance on benefits and outcomes

• Validation on value for money

​

Turning theory into reality

Our PAD framework brings your programme to life; identifies where you are, where you should be, if you're delivering to time and if you're on track.

 

Most of all, the framework will help ensure you deliver against the MHCLG criteria for a successful LGR, and the outcomes promised to stakeholders. ​

​

Our goal is simple; we want to facilitate and enable your LGR programme so that it is successful, delivers on-budget and on time, realising efficiencies and creating a new Unitary Council with strong foundations that you will be proud to be a part of.
