INTERIM MANAGEMENT
GPSJ
Under Pressure Public Sector
Managers Turn to Private Sector
Boardroom Expertise
Unremitting financial
pressures, ongoing staff
reductions and the unforgiving
need to deliver new political
initiatives against tight budgets
are leading local, regional
and national government
managers across the UK to
turn to outsourced private
sector business transformation
experts for the delivery of
organisational change and new
services.
A leading supplier of this kind of
high-level support is the Bristolbased consultancy, TransformationLeaders.com, whose Managing
Director, David Pinchard, says: “We
fully understand the financial and
manpower restraints facing the UK’s
public sector and have responded
with a unique and cost-effective
business model that can help these
under-pressure managers deliver
new services and political initiatives
whilst complying with all necessary
financial standing orders, HR
regulations and ‘best value’ criteria.
“Starting with a well-constructed
project specification is the key to
success,” says David. “The tighter
the tender, the greater the return on
investment and the more successful
the outcome”.
“This is why we like to be in at the
start of a project and work alongside
clients to develop a well-thought out
specification, clear objectives and a
realistic timetable for the successful
delivery of the project, especially
those that are valued under the
EU’s ‘small lots’ threshold @ c.
£65,630 or c.£118,130 for central
government contracts.
“Once the specification is in place,
our clients then have the option of
going out to tender – which can
often be a lengthy and unpredictable
process - or they can contract
one of our pre-qualified business
transformation experts to deliver the
project, starting work within a few
days and with strict cost-controls
in place.
“Government agencies which we
have helped in this way include the
General Social Care Council, the
Legal Services Board, the Farming
and Wildlife Advisory Group, the
Law Society and the Stationery
Office and Ordnance Survey, along
with local authority and regional
government agencies across many
sectors.
“Our clients are always surprised
to learn that this kind of highlyqualified managerial support
can be acquired within such a
short turnaround period and that
transformation-leaders.com will
continue to provide 24/7 backup support should unforeseen
circumstances or problems arise.
“Full details of how we work can
be found on our website - www.
transformation-leaders.com which
demonstrates our ability to deliver
complex public and private sector
projects on time, on budget and
to specification, no matter what it
takes, and with offices in London,
Bristol and Halifax, help and advice
is never far away”.
