Ballina Shire Council Improves Efficiency And Transparency
Industry: Local Council
Employees: 360 employees
THE PROJECT
Ballina Shire Council commenced their business excellence journey approximately 10 years ago. The council empowered all employees to identify ways to undertake tasks more efficiently. What was missing was a centralised tool. In 2020, the council chose PRIME BPM’s Process Mapping, Analysis and Improvement SAAS software, in addition to its fixed cost process mapping service to fast track and support their business excellence journey.
THE CLIENT
Ballina Shire Council is a local government authority based in far northern New South Wales. The council has approx 360 employees and a population of around 43,000.
