Budgeting Support

Making the most of your limited resources is essential to maintaining critical services. Whether it is setting up internal services funds, developing labor costing models, creating equipment replacement schedules, establishing cost allocation formulas, transitioning to a twoyear budget, or any other budgetrelated activity that you have, DKG can help meet your strategic budgeting needs.

Long-Term Financial Planning/Modeling/Forecasting

Multiyear forecasting and modeling is a critical component of servicelevel stability and accurate resource planning. DKG can assist in setting up multiyear financial models, including establishing strategic reserve policies, to allow your entity to be resilient through economic cycles.

Strategic Planning

With the “keep the business running” activities consuming your time, it can be difficult to find time for the bigger picture. DKG can help you develop a strategic plan for your operation that focuses on goals and objectives in the midtolong term.

Coaching/Training/Facilitating

Sometimes bringing someone in from outside of the organization can help provide a fresh perspective. Whether it is oneonone coaching, group training, or facilitating meetings or retreats, DKG can assist when you need to look at things from a different angle.

Interim Staffing

If you lose a key staff member and need an experienced municipal professional to fill that gap while you are recruiting, DKG has you covered.

Policy Development

Strong policies ensure there are clear parameters for how your employees should conduct business on behalf of your agency. Whether it is creating new policies from scratch or reviewing and updating existing polices, DKG can ensure your policies are current and aligned with your organizational principles.

Negotiations

With nearly two decades of experience negotiating contracts for public entities, DKG can help your agency get to agreement with your bargaining units in a manner that meets the interests of both parties.

Organizational Assessments / Staffing Studies / Audits

Whether it is process reviews to improve efficiency, a review of staffing resources, an audit of highrisk operations like payroll or accounts payable, or a review of your organization’s culture, DKG can recommend ways to improve performance and adhere to best practices.

Performance Metrics

DKG can work with you to develop workload and performance metrics that are simple, precise, and meaningful so you can evaluate and maximize the allocation of resources.
