Helping councils unlock their full potential to create thriving communities

      Community Volunteer

      We know councils. We understand councils.

      We uncover key insights from council employees and their communities. Insights that get to the heart of what matters most, insights that are relevant and actionable. We then help measure the impact of those actions to validate and celebrate progress and steer things back on track. This is how we help councils foster cultures of continuous improvement and impactful change. This is what gets us out of bed every morning.

      Our purpose

      To help create the most productive and enjoyable workplaces in the world.

      In a world where community demands are ever-increasing and resources only get more scarce, we believe there’s nothing councils need more than happy, motivated and productive teams, who are perfectly aligned with your values.

      This is the key to providing the best outcomes for your community.

      The AskYourTeam framework is borne out of insights from leading organisational models from around the world, and refined through active collaboration with over 70 councils in Australia and New Zealand.

       

      Ask: Don't guess. Ask your richest source of insight.

      Listen: Get to the heart of what matters most with relevant, actionable insights.

      Act: Make smarter decisions, faster and prioritise actions that will deliver the best outcomes.

      Measure: Measure the impact of your actions. Celebrate success or course correct if you need to.  

      Do it all again and again to create a sustainable loop of continuous improvement.

       

      We believe real transformation starts with knowledge. 
      And your people are your richest source of insight.

      Our story

      AskYourTeam, founded in 2014 by Andrew Bayly and Chris O’Reilly, has since become a vital tool in transforming workplaces and a trusted partner for over 50 councils in Australia and New Zealand.
