One of our founding partners in Local Partnerships (LP), Steven Head, has just been appointed as Interim CEO of the City of Parramatta Council, commencing on 26 October.
To enable him to focus fully on this significant role Steven has advised that he will exit as a partner in LP on 19 October 2026.
Local Partnerships Director, Barry Omundson, has acknowledged Steven’s contribution to the establishment of LP.
“Steven’s appointment reflects the value of our small team of partners, all of whom have been Council CEO’s or GM’s, and we wish him every success in his exciting new role.”
Barry said. “LP will continue on our journey of providing a fresh contemporary consultancy option for organisations in Australasia based on our leadership excellence framework and underpinned by a genuine care for those with whom we work with.
End of release.
Local Partnerships is now a Local Buy pre-qualified supplier for executive recruitment, local government consulting, organisational reviews, governance, strategic planning, leadership development and HR services.
The real value of an organisational review is what happens next. At West Coast Council, months of listening, consultation and analysis are now moving into a four-year program of organisational renewal.
The depot and the palace are two parts of the same organisation, yet they can sometimes operate as though they are worlds apart.
A reflection from experience for CEOs and senior leaders. Leadership roles carry constant pressure, visibility and demand. Over time, it is possible to keep performing while something more personal begins to slip, often gradually and easy to explain away.
Send us your details and we will prepare a proposal.
