Change & Project Management Services

Compassionate change & project management that maximises returns.

We are trouble-shooters for change; collaborating with employers, education and training providers and policy makers to assess, plan and implement strategies which streamline systems and processes and maximise performance.

Workforce Development Strategies.

 

Every organisation can benefit from a successful workforce development strategy, creating a collaborative working environment which grows talent and loyalty.

We work with our clients to:

  • Establish their business mission and values to identify opportunities that maximise performance.

  • Implement effective changes to processes and policies which correlate with their desired business culture.

  • Identify and evaluate opportunities to improve processes, people and performance.

  • Plan and Implement strategies for delivering workforce development.

  • Evolve strategies and programmes as they are implemented.

  • Understand and achieve compliance with programmes, policies and funding.

Project & Programme Management.

 

Effective management of education and training programmes is pivotal to the quality of delivery.

We provide direct management services to businesses, colleges, universities, and training providers who deliver government-funded training programmes.

We have developed a portfolio of education-based projects helping clients understand their strategic aims, deliver efficient and effective processes, systems and programmes, including:

  • Procuring and implementing MIS, LMS and other key software.

  • Integrating key systems to improve the student experience and staff efficiency.

  • Developing reporting solutions and helping organisations organise, manage, and utilise their data.

  • Developing new programmes of learning.

  • Preparing for audit or inspection.

Business Analysis.

 

We are fluent in the processes and systems required within FE and HE. We support our clients to develop streamlined and cost-effective processes and systems which work for them and meet the needs of external bodies, such as the ESFA and Ofsted.

We collaborate with our clients and their key stakeholders to determine the most effective business processes and systems, to optimise programme delivery and the client-learner journey. 

We empower our clients to: 

  • Understand their business context (strategy, objectives, guiding principles). 

  • Investigate and analyse their ‘As-Is’ processes and client-learner journeys to identify current ‘pain points’. 

  • Identify and evaluate options for improving processes, people and technology. 

  • Develop business cases and ‘To-Be’ solution recommendations. If the solution is to implement a new ‘off the shelf’ software or reconfigure existing systems, our business analysts will define functional specifications, using standard requirements modelling techniques such as:

    • Use case/user story definition.  

    • Data modelling.  

    • Wire-framing.

Our analysts support the development, testing and implementation of recommended solutions, carrying out post-implementation reviews to ensure the benefits defined in the business case have been achieved.

Reporting & Data Management.

 

Effective data management is a key component of any organisation, especially in an education setting where it is essential to capture accurate student records and maximise allocated funding.

Equally, making your data work for you, to ensure that your managers can make informed decisions about your programmes, is key to good quality provision.

We work with our clients to develop a reporting framework that fits their business requirements, including:

  • Developing an understanding of the metrics and KPIs that are most important to the business and its customers.

  • Supporting the development of relevant and meaningful data capture.

  • Producing a reporting framework which outlines the reports required by key stakeholders.

  • Building a solution which allows clients to report relevant data in a way which is easy for managers, customers and other key stakeholders to access.

  • Utilising Clients’ data to effectively manage their organisation - creating opportunities for change, growth and development which maximises business performance and programme delivery.

Digital Transformation.

 

We support organisations to transform their digital landscape - from how data is used and managed, to new ways of delivering learning, and to automating organisational processes. By ensuring there is a programme of improvement which aligns to an overall strategy, organisations lead (rather than react) to the competition, while also future-proofing their own position.

We work with our clients to:​​

  • Review existing systems and process, identify pain points and implement solutions​.

  • Identify opportunities for quality-of-life improvements, for clients, students and staff​.

  • Understanding the structure of data, how to modernise current data capture, processing and sharing to deliver successful outcomes​.

  • Conduct options assessments, recommend and implement system improvements, procurement and integration.

  • Develop reporting solutions from design to development, to train and embed.

  • Design process flows which optimise the student journey through your digital landscape.
