C.Co’s Golden Pyramid sits at the heart of our successful approach to supporting clients to be financially sustainable and high performing through a focus on clearly articulating the alignment of activity and decision-making.     The Golden Pyramid has been informed and developed through our combined decades of experience, knowledge and expertise. It serves as a valuable visual framework for articulating the key components of a high performing Council. It is underpinned by a suite of tools which can be used to provide targeted support,     We have utilised this tool with a number of our Clients to support with strategy development, development of the Medium Term Financial Strategy, transformation programme development and workforce planning and implementation.    Find out how we utilised this approach with an improving council on the link below: https://lnkd.in/eheJYmc2 Get in touch: speaktous@wearec.co #localgovernment #transformation #wearecco
