Our Mission

At Local Efficiency Solutions, we partner with Oregon local governments, community colleges, and mission-driven nonprofits to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs where possible, and strengthen community services through practical, evidence-based consulting.

To achieve this, we deliver tailored services — from comprehensive assessments and strategic planning, to targeted process improvements and leadership support — designed to meet each organization's unique needs and budget constraints.

Our work enables lean public-sector teams to operate more effectively, fostering better governance, interdepartmental collaboration, and long-term sustainability.
