Okay, so it is hardly the most exciting topic, but this is another great area to train your own people to address, rather than rely on outside help all the time. Plus, a lot of it is down to workforce planning, which is another area of speciality, so it’s one we know a lot about.

We can help you meet your cost reduction or management targets by developing your own teams’ skills in this area, as well as putting in place the good practice support mechanisms (Exec coaching & alignment, Programme Management Offices, analytics, visual management etc) that everyone knows and loves.

In addition, we have a well tried and tested list of areas to focus, which helps your team build on years of NHS experience in what has worked and what hasn’t worked.

Our approach is based on developing your front-line managers in understanding the drivers of cost and how to address them. This can form the basis of a wide-ranging set of management development to support new and recently-promoted individuals.

All the time we are focused on getting you the results you need as an organisation.
