Orange County, California's reorganization of public works included the movement of 215 positions between service areas, deletion of 57 vacant positions, the addition of 45 new positions at lower level classifications, and 7 filled position reallocation requests. As you might assume, the implementation did not come without opposition and impacts from the affected staff. However Orange County Public Works defied the odds and successfully rolled out the restructuring program. They continue to work with the management team, staff, and unions to ensure a full transition and have been acknowledged as a trendsetter within the county and region for organizational solutions. Learning Objectives: Accomplish a massive organizational restructuring. Collaborate with staff to implement department-wide change efforts. Gain buy-in and support from elected officials, management, staff, and unions for organizational change.
