Providing specialist interim and advisory capability for Local Government Reorganisation. 

Specialist Support for Local Government Reorganisation 

Panoramic Associates provides dedicated interim, advisory and programme delivery capability to councils navigating Local Government Reorganisation. With decisions now confirmed across 18 regions in England, the largest structural reform in a generation is underway and councils need experienced practitioners to deliver it. 

We work alongside programme teams to provide the people who move transition from plan to delivery. Our focus extends beyond safe and legal compliance on vesting day. We support councils to build a fully planned transformation portfolio ready to move into delivery from day two of the new organisation, not month six.

Roles we cover include:

  • Programme/ Transformation Directors
  • PMO Managers and PMO Analysts 
  • Programme Managers and Project Managers 
  • Change Managers 
  • Business Analysts
  • Organisational Design Specialists 
  • HR and Workforce Transition Leads 
  • Communications and Engagement Leads 

We understand that Local Government Reorganisation operates under significant political, financial and time pressure, with councils balancing the demands of today while preparing for an entirely new way of operating.

Every engagement is shaped around your context, your timeline, existing capability, priorities and ambition for the new authority. Whether you need additional capacity, specialist expertise or experienced leadership, we provide the right support at the right stage of your LGR journey.

Over the past two years, we have placed more than 120 transformation professionals into programme delivery roles across the public sector. This gives us a close view of the challenges councils face and a strong network of experienced professionals who understand complex public sector transformation.

From planning and programme delivery through to service redesign, organisational change and implementation, we help councils build the capability needed to turn reorganisation into lasting transformation.

Specialist Support for: 

  • Programme management and PMO setup for shadow authorities and implementation teams 
  • Organisational design and target operating model development 
  • Workforce transition planning, job matching and pay harmonisation 
  • Service transformation and redesign across merged authorities 
  • ICT and digital migration strategy 
  • Governance, democratic services and constitutional development 
  • Finance disaggregation, MTFS development and contract novation 
  • Change management, cultural integration and benefits realisation 
  • Vesting day readiness assurance and post-vesting stabilisation
