They had rising costs (whilst growing) and were concerned about cost blowouts after growth slowed. They wanted council productivity to increase, employees trained and the ability to stay productive.
To manage costs, to increase council productivity, to build a productivity strategy and a program that engaged employees to learn how to increase council process improvements and create more innovations to make productivity sustainable - long term.
Over 10,000 hours of tactical improvement training targeting council productivity.
43 Major Projects across 6 divisions spanning the entire council productivity needs.
of council productivity which was used to monitor, manage and continuously improve productivity results.
They started with 1027 employees in 2012 and in 2019 only had 1030 employees. Captured 45 new innovations, redeployed over 60 employees into other areas of the Council.
From 2012 - 2019 they have managed to save $200Mil in accumulative savings. 8% reductions in contractor and materials costs worth over $30mil and kept employee new hires to a minimum.
The Council used their savings to increase the amount of community programs delivered, service response times increased by 35% and with surplus funds each year they did not increase rates.
