Organisation development services
Professional institution: governance
The institution had successfully grown rapidly in recent years. However, it was felt that the organisation's structure no longer adequately supported and represented the special interests of key groups of members. On behalf of Council and working with a senior member, we reviewed and redesigned the structure, and made recommendations for changes in governance.
Government department: staff survey
Undertook a qualitative survey of users of the department's intranet and advised on the future development of the intranet as an effective communications medium.

We advised on the development of a joint venture involving four country sections of an international humanitarian/medical aid agency. This involved work in Holland, Germany and the UK.
Firm of solicitors: management information
Reviewed the firm's management information (including formats, key indicators, content, distribution and use) so that it was aligned to the firm's new strategy. The aim was also to identify opportunities for encouraging changes in behaviour through improved internal communication and focus on key indicators/targets.

Trade/investment development agency: training
We delivered a global programme of more than 30 training workshops for the UK’s trade/investment development agency. The workshops covered strategy and marketing. Nearly 500 staff attended from over 20 countries; c.99% rated the workshops as good or very good and c.95% said that the training would help them in their job “a great deal” or “quite a lot”.
