Organisational Development

"Great facilitators who have a great understanding of the sector and an extremely good fit with my expectations" Dorrie McLaughlin, Central and Cecil Housing Trust

Organisational development is a primary focus for our work, whether on short term consultancy based projects, longer term partnership support or via our interim management.

All of our organisational development work is tailored to the precise requirements of the client to meet their particular circumstantial needs, perhaps through a change programme arising from or planning for growth, a merger or acquisition, corporate or service reorganisation, structural realignment or simply in pursuit of excellence.

Our bespoke support and intervention may take many forms from constructive challenge and review of services across part or the entirety of a service or organisation through to identifying existing recourse skills as well as new skills and developing knowledge, guiding and coaching at Board, executive, senior and middle management levels, right the way down to learning and development sessions, introduction of action learning sets and development of internal support mechanisms across the whole organisation.

Our expertise and experience in the financial sector and practical financial management implementation and strategic planning makes our team a valuable asset in terms of interim management at director and manager level, including work on specific projects such as value for money reviews, market testing of services, repairs and maintenance reviews and preparation of efficiency statements.

We plan, develop and facilitate large and small scale organisational development programmes, focused on leadership and management, using coaching and mentoring techniques with individuals alongside group facilitation and development sessions. Recent examples of our organisational development work include:

- A six month coaching programme for 55 team leaders resulting in increased confidence, ability and significantly, almost 25% reduction in sickness absence levels across the organisation

- Whole business process review leading up to a fundamental corporate reorganisation

- Interim financial management at director level to assist a new organisation achieve its business plan targets

- Interim project management to design and deliver a bottom up review of the effectiveness of working practices within an in-house service provider
