Recent programmes show a clear pattern: councils reach vesting successfully, but many enter operation without the transformation required to sustain themselves financially, with six of nine requiring Exceptional Financial Support.
The issue is not delivery capability - it is the model itself. Most programmes spend the majority of the shadow period building a baseline, leaving too little time to design and optimise the new council before it goes live. The result is a council that meets Day One requirements – but is not yet financially viable.
Join our upcoming webinar to explore a fundamentally different, AI-enabled approach.
The SMART: Day One LGR Accelerator compresses discovery, brings forward transformation, and enables a financially viable Day One - backed by a £10m savings guarantee.
What this session will cover
- Why the traditional LGR model limits financial outcomes
- How an AI enables a step-change in delivery speed, capacity and cost
- What a credible, financially viable Day One actually requires
You will also hear first-hand insights from leaders who have delivered LGR programmes.
Safe and legal is the minimum requirement. This session explores how to deliver a council that is sustainable from Day One.
