Tools
for Change
Most municipalities have experienced significant change since
their incorporation, including urbanization, population, economic
and changes in citizens' expectations.
For some municipalities, change has meant continued growth and
prosperity. For others, change has meant new approaches are
necessary for long-term sustainability.
To effectively manage change, municipalities are seeking new
approaches to both governance and service delivery.
Step 1. Municipal Health Checklist
A self-analysis tool that enables you to gauge your municipality's
strengths and understand its challenges.
Step 2. Municipal Approaches
to Managing Change, a tool that
combines the Health Checklist results with your municipality's
situation to assist in selecting the best approach to managing
change and meeting challenges.
