Efficiency Isn’t Just
Spending Less
It means using limited resources thoughtfully, setting clear priorities, and delivering services effectively.
Anable Consulting helps local-government leaders understand what is working, what needs to change, and what their organization can realistically accomplish with the people and resources available.
Comprehensive Efficiency
Assessments
A citywide review of operations, finances, organizational structure, staffing, contracting, service delivery, and management systems.
- Identify practical opportunities for cost savings and stronger performance.
- Clarify accountability and the connection between resources and services.
- Consider the organization’s size, responsibilities, and priorities.
Financial & Operational Reviews
Review the financial conditions and operating practices that affect how a city uses public funds.
- Recurring revenues and expenditures, reserves, debt, and capital needs
- Financial policies, cost recovery, and long-term sustainability
- Contracted services, administrative practices, and internal controls
These reviews are not formal financial audits.
Organizational Design &
Staffing Reviews
Look at how work is assigned, how departments are organized, and whether staffing reflects the services the community needs.
- Reporting relationships, supervisory structures, and job duties
- Workloads, staffing levels, vacancies, and administrative support
- Workflow mapping, role clarity, and accountability
- Compensation benchmarking and comparisons with peer cities
Process Improvement Reviews
Examine the day-to-day workflows that can slow down staff and residents. Employees and the people using a service help identify where the process breaks down.
- Purchasing, permitting, utility billing, hiring, and public information requests
- Delays, duplication, unnecessary approvals, and coordination gaps
- Practical changes to procedures, technology use, and service delivery
Program Evaluation
Assess whether a program still fits community priorities, public demand, program requirements, available resources, and intended outcomes.
- Service quality, accessibility, fairness, and timeliness
- Customer or stakeholder feedback, where appropriate
- Technology, data collection, and opportunities for automation
