Consulting

The sheer range of challenges and opportunities facing local government and its partners across the public sector is hugely complex and is evolving on a continual basis.

The way senior people, both elected and appointed, respond to these challenges will define the very basis of public services in years to come. Given the socio-demographic, financial, technological and political challenges facing public sector leaders, there is a clear and ongoing need for the human resources of organisations to be marshalled effectively to meet new and unfamiliar patterns of demand.

Increasingly organisations are looking to collaborate to meet these challenges, sharing expertise and moreover structures to ensure that they not only meet demanding resource challenges, but that they are able to share the knowledge and expertise required to drive up service standards and performance. Examples of work we have been involved in here includes supporting the appointment of joint management teams across councils along with formal structural collaboration between organisations in different sectors.

Rockpools Consulting has developed a strong track record for organisational development consulting including structural and governance reviews and support in organisational transformation strategy with a particular focus on human resource development. Our experienced team also offer tailored support for the planning, organisation and facilitation of top team away days and development events. In our experience there is a continuing paucity of opportunity for senior people to come together and plan effective strategy, therefore a well planned and executed day with a varied programme along with expert facilitation that asks the questions that might not otherwise be asked is extremely high value.

We offer:

- Top team away-day facilitation
- Organisational design reviews
- Governance and Scrutiny effectiveness reviews
- Restructuring advice
- In-house personal development and recruitment advice

Assignments are tailor-made by our experts around client requirements with a premium placed on identifying areas where maximum value can be added. For more information about Rockpools consulting, please contact Baljit Dhadda.
