Many local authorities have already made savings through the implementation of flexible working programmes, which seek to reduce costs in areas such as property and infrastructure, including IT. In the current climate such programmes will need to deliver more savings, faster, using less help from external consultancies.

This seminar is designed to help organisations kick-start these programmes, often called New Ways of Working, Agile Working, SmartWorking, or WorkSmart, and accelerate the achievements of the benefits they can deliver.

In line with the successful training offered as part of the Service Transformation Academy for London Councils, RedQuadrant is offering a one day seminar for programme and transformation managers focussed on:

“Practical methods to accelerate the identification & delivery of property-related savings”

At RedQuadrant, we believe that real sustainable change can only be achieved when the public sector drives its own change.  That’s why we set up a new type of consultancy dedicated to the public sector.

We are a network of expert independent consultants who work as a single firm with outcome-based contracts, quality assurance and expert project management.  We are improvement experts, from whole organisational transformation through to specific process cost reduction and quality improvement, with an emphasis on skills transfer to build internal change management capacity in our client organisations.

We offer proven, experienced consultants for substantially less cost than the big, traditional consultancies. How can we do this? We practice what we preach. We run a lean organisation – just like we help our clients to do. As a result our clients get big consultancy returns, but without the hassle and at a lower price tag.

Unlike traditional consultancies that have a large, permanent consulting staff to pay, we have a team of independent consultants we know well and that we have worked closely with, and who we know will deliver what you need, to our high standards.

The company was only set up in July 2009, but combines many years of experience with a team of about 30 people.  We have already proven that we can deliver real change and build capacity in organisations.

Please contact Ben Taylor if you’d like to know more about us.

The Campaign Against Consultancy

RedQuadrant has launched the Campaign Against Consultancy.  Our goal – that the public sector need no longer rely on costly consultants who:

• are only in it for the money
• undermine the confidence and capacity of the client
• sell the same old solution whether it fits the problem or not

OK, we admit it – we are a bunch of consultants ourselves.

But what’s wrong with trying to do ourselves out of a job?

We know that the challenges the public sector faces are so serious, we’ll probably retire before we achieve our goals – and from exhaustion rather than extravagant wealth!

But it won’t stop us from trying….

Consultants should not drive the change that is required, the drive should come from within.

Are we right/wrong?
