Unlocking top team power
If the team at the interface of political and professional leadership isn’t working well, improvement elsewhere becomes difficult. GGI supports top teams across local government, health, housing, education and beyond. Our approach is practical, collaborative and rooted in real experience. We help elected members and officers build trust, clarify roles and strengthen collective leadership—whether the challenge is strategic direction, resolving tensions, or preparing for peer or regulatory scrutiny.
Independent audit committee reviews
A well-functioning audit committee supports better decision-making and enhances public trust. CIPFA recommends independent reviews every three years—not just to meet regulatory expectations, but to improve learning and oversight. With increasing pressures around risk, value for money, and financial resilience, it’s vital to ensure your audit committee is fit for purpose. GGI provides objective, benchmarked reviews that go beyond compliance—offering actionable recommendations to improve remit clarity, composition, culture and effectiveness.
Elected member development
We help councillors fulfil their role more effectively—through better decision-making, constructive challenge, and stronger relationships with officers. Our training is tailored, interactive and grounded in the realities of governance. The result: more confident, capable elected members delivering better outcomes for their communities.
Stakeholder engagement
With the Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) programme underway, building legitimacy through engagement is essential. Yet Ipsos/LGIU polling shows 63% of the public feel disengaged from the process. GGI helps local authorities design and deliver inclusive, locally meaningful engagement that builds trust, manages risk and puts communities at the heart of reform.
