Our recent work
Here are some examples of our most recent projects that we have undertaken and completed.
Business Transformation
26 Mar 2010
Supporting Improvement & Efficiency South East (the Regional Improvement & Efficiency Partnership for the South East councils) to deliver high-profile projects supporting councils in their implementation of service transformation. Many of the 74 Authorities in the South East region have successfully transformed the delivery of their services but there remains a significant opportunity for other authorities in the region from sharing this learning and continuing to build on these foundations to achieve efficiencies and improve customer service. Through a series of Business Process Improvement (BPI) projects, network events and BPI training, the Corporate Transformation Partnership will support the delivery of Business Transformation in the South East.
Financial & Performance Management for managers
30 Mar 2009
Supported the Council in diagnosing the strengths and areas for improvement in current financial management and performance management systems and in developing managers to improve their understanding and capabilities around these topics to improve service delivery. Support was provided via interactive workshops designed to transfer expertise to managers as well as enabling them to share their experiences and best practice. Work was undertaken to identify strengths, areas for improvement and the next steps to ensure that the systems were fit for purpose in enabling officers to deliver improving services.

Supported the Leicestershire & Rutland Improvement Partnership in collaboration with Local Government East Midlands by providing a series of evening workshops for elected councillors on a variety of topics.
