Corporate Planning & Reporting Case Study: Shire of Esperance

Is reporting visibility and accuracy restricted by a reliance on outdated or unpredictable manual and paper-based processes? Are existing internal systems simply not ‘up to the task’? These are the questions the Shire of Esperance grappled with as they continued to meet hurdles through their legacy approach to corporate reporting and the daily execution of plan actions.

Challenges faced by the Shire of Esperance

The Shire of Esperance relied upon a data entry system that regularly encountered technical errors when it came to saving and retrieving valuable information for their reporting needs. Overall operational efficiency was impacted by their legacy approach.

• Inefficient data entry system: the Shire’s officers/administrators lost valuable time on recurring issues with saving and retrieval of data.
• Limited administration: the Shire’s administrators had limited flexibility with managing the corporate planning actions and tasks as well as generating reports.
