Organisation Review, Redesign and Development
Snowy Valleys Council (SVC) initiated a series of improvement projects in 2019 to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness for long-term financial sustainability. As part of this initiative, SVC engaged Winton to conduct an organisation review that would support the strategic objective of generating sufficient funds to provide agreed-upon service levels and infrastructure to the community in the long term.
Winton analysed approximately 120 documents and gathered information from 20 individual and group sessions with leaders and employees to better understand organisation design, leadership, planning, support, performance evaluation, and improvement. Winton also facilitated sessions with the Executive Leadership Team to establish strategic direction and priorities. Winton presented their review findings, including an organisational model that highlighted critical customer touchpoints and an implementation plan for the cultural transition from the current state to the desired future state.
Subsequently, SVC engaged Winton to support the Executive Leadership Team in its restructure process. Winton provided support in developing an organisational structure, position descriptions, restructure guideline, communication frameworks, and templates for the restructure process, and oversaw the restructure to ensure compliance with legislative obligations.
With an in-depth understanding of SVC’s strategic direction, operations, and people, Winton was invited to support SVC in implementing a leadership development program as a part of the effort to achieve long-term sustainability. Commencing in 2020, this program included strategic planning sessions with the Executive Leadership Team and a series of intensive workshops over several months with the Greater Leadership Team and People Leaders to address areas of leadership and culture, levels of work, team processes, task assignments, and the conversations of a leader.

Organisation Redesign and Restructure
In 2019, Burwood Council commenced a high-level review to ensure its organisational structure was contemporary and supportive of one of the most vibrant and multicultural communities in Australia.
The journey continued through 2021, when Council engaged Winton to lead the implementation of the restructure program, focusing on the managerial levels and below.
Winton facilitated a series of sessions with the Executive Team to confirm the organisational design. Subsequently Winton was tasked with developing the restructure guidelines, draft position descriptions, communication and consultation plan, and recruitment plan for new positions.
Throughout the implementation phase, Winton provided oversight of the restructure process and also guided workforce and union communication and consultation, ensuring compliance with legislative obligations. Consequently, there was no industrial unrest or impact on service delivery.

Strategic Planning
YWCA Hunter Region is a women-led organisation that aims to achieve positive change by providing advocacy, programs, and services to support, empower, and connect women and families for a stronger community.
To ensure that the organisation can continue to meet the emerging needs of the community, the newly refreshed and expanded Board of Directors decided to develop a new strategic plan.
The Board engaged Winton to facilitate and lead the development of the strategic plan. This involved a series of one-on-one and group workshops with the Board and employees, using an iterative process of discovery, ideation, and refinement.
In October 2022, the organisation celebrated its centenary and formally presented and adopted the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan. This plan will guide YWCA Hunter Region's future efforts to support and empower women and families in the community.
