How We Work
We avoid big theories and complexity preferring to work alongside people to listen and to observe how things are working and to understand the aims, culture and practices of the person, team or organisation.
We provide clear and practical advice and skilled support to enable you to achieve your goals.
What We Do |
How We Approach It |
Diagnosis:
We help examine what is working well and what is not. |
Practical Enquiry
Talk to people about how they feel the organisation is performing and assess how things are working.
Investigate problems and incidents
Performance Assessment
Audit the performance of each of the main components of the organisation – the individuals and teams, the systems and processes.
Carry out an efficiency audit on how these work together.
Structure Analysis
Evaluate how and where resources (human, financial, physical) are deployed and how effective they are in delivering value and business results.
Quality Audit
Assess the outputs and overall impact of the organisation against its key measures of success – where it is going, its strengths and weaknesses. |
Action Planning how to improve things. |
Strategic Thinking
Taking the big picture of the organisation in the environment in which it works, thinking through:
- Where are we now and where do we want to get to?
- What approaches can we take?
- What internal and external factors do we need to bear in mind?
- What are the actions we need to and are able to take?
|
Deliver Improvement:
We work with the client to design a plan or programme to tackle problems and we help them implement it |
Strategic Planning
- The organisation’s Vision
- Major objectives and by when they should be achieved
- How these will be carried out
- The human, financial and other resources needed to make it happen
- What the measures of success will be and how they will be assessed and reviewed
- How the plan will be updated and adapted to keep it alive and relevant and from which, plans for subsidiary parts of the organisation can be developed in a similar way.
|
We enable the key people to carry out the improvements they want to make. |
Through facilitating regular review of achievements and refreshing plans we enable implementation to stay on track and respond to changing circumstances. This maintains organisational coherence, job satisfaction and the effectiveness of the organisation. |
