Recent events have shown that organisations must adapt to a world that has changed in ways and on a scale that we never could have earlier imagined. Businesses need to ensure their planning, reporting and performance activities are aligned and agile so they can readily adapt to this dynamic environment.
Our team of lateral thinking strategists, integrated planning and workforce professionals collaborate with you to develop a responsive, client focused service delivery culture. We have the skills, experience and understanding to facilitate leadership, adaption, engagement integration and performance improvement.
We also ensure that our clients have robust and effective governance and performance reporting frameworks in place to underpin these improvement initiatives.
We work with clients to identify their long term goals, design their business model and develop strategic plans and resourcing strategies.
We add value to our clients by ensuring their planning activities are coordinated, aligned with strategic objectives and deliver the most efficient and cost effective outcomes.
We assist our NSW Council Clients to meet the provisions of the NSW Local Government Act 1993, which require that all Councils review their full suite of Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) documents within nine months of the Council election.

We are engaging facilitators and excellent communicators, with proven experience in assisting our clients to successfully navigate their way through the various political and managerial contexts and requirements.
As a first step, Centium carefully reviews Council’s existing plans and reports and makes suggestions to improve these based on our collective years of experience and repository of better practice. We then embark on a consultation and engagement process that not only ensures legislative compliance, but also delivers performance improvement benefits to Council.
