About Us
In the UK our work in organisational development embraces government Departments and Agencies of all sizes, the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and many other organisations throughout the public sector.
Internationally we've been the first port of call for government organisations looking to improve individual and organisational performance for over 20 years, particularly in EU accession countries and emerging democracies.
Being a government organisation ourselves, we share the public sector mandate and mission - not simply to improve public services but to transform them. Our tailored, client -centred consultancy services can help organisations and their people accomplish this. Here the crucial skill is the diagnostics. This is where our team of consultants excel by combining wide-ranging expertise with in-depth understanding of the public sector environment.
Our difference
With the public sector becoming increasingly complex it's essential that its organisations are equipped to deal with current and future challenges and have a clear line of sight as to what is needed to build better performance. Yes, our consultants have breadth and depth of expertise over a wide range of organisation development specialisms, but what defines our approach is that, as a government organisation ourselves, we have a deep-rooted understanding of the public sector. Because we're part of it, we understand it better and put simply, our 40 years' exposure to best practice means we know what works - and what doesn't. This gives us the ability to help our clients see round corners.
Our approach
Our approach when consulted about issues in organisational performance, is to look past the veneer and find and treat the cause, not merely the symptoms, all the while maintaining a focus on results and outcomes. Our recommendations are pragmatic, honest, ethical and rooted in best practice. They are also backed up with access to the wealth of experience available though our expert internal faculty, our associates and the Sunningdale Institute, our think-tank and virtual academy of thought leaders on management, organisation and governance.
Whether you're facing changes to your internal processes and structures or looking to address a major new government initiative, whether you require help with organisation design or building your leadership capability, we'll support you at any and every stage. Once we've agreed what's required, you can rely on us to deliver demonstrable benefits cost-effectively and on time.
