A company needs its systems, and we firmly believe that a system will only ever be as good as the people who manage them.
Each part of the system needs ownership, administration and care!
•Functionality •Data •Hardware and Access •Training •Support
Each of these areas need to be understood, controlled, monitored and maintained.
One of our core beliefs is that we can measure the efficiency, relevance and operational performance of a business by studying the data flow through the departments, and tracing the costs and expenses generated in the department.
We believe there are fundamental elements that all have to be inline to make any company successful
•Leadership •Engagement •Systems •Just Culture •Communication
It is very difficult for companies to grow and develop and keep their employees engaged and motivated. Systems which were bought in the early days may no longer do the job, or may be used in entirely the wrong way. People need to be able to speak up and be listened to.
Particularly the listened to part…
Service supporting key directors as you navigate your way through the minefield of taking a business through a transition or transformation project.
Businesses mature and outgrow the original remit, needing new approaches and new systems and procedures to continue to thrive and grow.
Even for successful businesses the regulatory burden increases significantly, and new requirements may be beyond the experience of existing staff.
We will develop your management and teams through constant, relevant and essential communication up and down the company. We involve everyone.
We prefer to identify smaller individual projects and direct resources to those, rather than try to change the whole company in one go.
High Level Transition Plan to identify key steps to change
With customer prepare initial business case to identify requirements, expected benefits, expected costs and outcomes
Design physical spaces for best practice and lines of communication
Prepare detailed business case including recommendation for change
Prepare for change with workshops and trials

Nowhere I have ever been has as many weird and wonderful traditions as Ottery St Mary, and it makes it a wonderful place to live. But the traditions are only there because the people have that sense of community, a sense of history and continuity, and a desire to keep alive those events that bring people together. Food and Families, Pixies, Barrels, Late Night Shopping, Carnival and so many other wonderful events organised by local groups for the benefit of all.
We are at the heart of these events.
