What Really Works?

We adapted the findings of an independent, ten year survey of management techniques to focus on "what really works" in Local Government...

 

First past the post?

"Respice finem"

We are based in Newmarket, the world famous "Home of Horseracing" and international Headquarters to the Sport of Kings.

The Town's latin motto, respice finem means "with the end in sight". All our work keeps one end in sight: results.

We deliver results that create value at three levels:

  • Community

  • Corporate

  • Personal

Transforming Performance

The success of local government, in common with other organisations, depends less on complex models and sophisticated techniques than an ability to focus on "what really works".

Over a 10 year period, researchers tracked the performance of 160 organisations and the 200 management tools they employed to drive themselves forward. Our team members know this path well.

The conclusions can be found in the Harvard Business Review and they make interesting reading.

  • Most management methods and techniqiues draw on common elements but are best described as fads, with no lasting impact on performance
  • The key areas for the attention of the organisation are simple: strategy, structure, culture and execution
  • Secondary areas include: innovation, leadership, partnerships and talent
  • Successful organisations are those which manage to balance and juggle the conflicting demands of these areas over the long course

Contact us and we will arrange a meeting to discuss what really works in your authority.

The Difference

We focus on the areas that make a difference.

Our experience of the private, public and voluntary sectors endorses the importance of strategy, structure, culture and leadership as critical factors in organisational performance. 

If it sounds simple, we take that as a compliment - it is something we value.
