Strong local democracy starts with strong teams. The bedrock of local government is a strong partnership between elected members and officers. This partnership is especially important following local elections, when new members may be unfamiliar with local government processes and officer expertise can be invaluable. Our team of former public sector leaders understands this dynamic. We bridge the gap between members and officers, building cohesive local government teams that can effectively serve their communities. Here's how we can help: - Guiding New Relationships: We facilitate smooth transitions for newly elected members, fostering collaboration with officers from day one. - Enhancing Existing Partnerships: We improve communication and teamwork, strengthening bonds between members and officers, regardless of election cycles. - Effective Member Leadership: We equip elected members to lead confidently, leveraging the expertise of their officer teams, even during periods of change. Interested in learning more about how we can help build stronger relationships within your local authority? We'd love to hear from you.
