LGMA Corporate Plan Southern

We were very happy to be asked to assist the Local Government Management Agency (LGMA) in setting out their future, with the design of their Corporate Plan 2026-2030.

The Plan charts a clear strategic direction for the organisation, defining key priorities and establishing a strong framework for accountability over the coming years.

It serves as both a roadmap for the LGMA and a reference point for stakeholders across the local government sector.

Together, these outputs provide a cohesive snapshot of the LGMA’s commitment to transparent and effective customer service.

FSPO Southern

We were delighted to partner with the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman team again this year to create new campaign assets for Global Money Week, an annual, worldwide OECD campaign held in March to promote financial literacy among young people.

The FSPO is an independent, impartial, fair and free service that helps resolve complaints involving regulated financial service providers and pension providers.

We developed a range of playful animation and still social assets, designed to bring the key messages of the GMW campaign to life, helping to build understanding and communicate important information in a clear and engaging way.

The National Waste Management Plan

Project OverviewOutput & AssetsCampaign Results

Background

Ireland is moving away from the traditional linear ‘take-make-use-dispose’ model towards a ‘circular economy’ regenerative growth model where resources are reused or recycled as much as possible and the generation of waste is minimised. The transition to a circular economy is essential to reduce pressure on natural resources, aid in achieving climate targets, support Sustainable Development Goals and create sustainable growth and jobs. It requires a collaborative national response across all sectors of the economy through the lifecycle of products and materials.

Objective

The Regional Waste Management Planning Offices, under the auspices of the County and City Management Association National Oversight Group co-ordinated the preparation of the first National Waste Management Plan for a Circular Economy.

This ambitious Plan sets out a framework for the prevention and management of waste in Ireland for the period 2024 to 2030.

Research & Strategy Development

For Southern, it involved conceptualising the branding of the Plan, then the design and layout of six volumes of the publication, as well as an executive summary and a briefing note, amounting to over a thousand pages in total. Its purpose as an important reference document for multiple audiences was served by an attractive, easy to digest style, bringing the sometimes technically involved content to life.

Process & Presentation

The content of the Plan was created through extensive collaboration with key partners, stakeholders and the wider waste audience. In order to facilitate the consultation process, Southern first produced a full draft Plan. Between this draft and the completion of the finished publication, the process took 14 months, culminating in a national launch in Limerick’s Hanging Gardens, for which Southern also produced exhibition design and a 6 minute launch video.

Milestones

The creation of this vitally important document for Ireland required in-depth planning and project management, an extensive and rigorous proofing process, and adherence to timeline milestones consistently over the project lifecycle.
