Consultancy

There are many reasons why a not-for-profit organisation might seek the assistance of a consultant. Common situations include:

• ensuring that services are being delivered in accordance with current best practice
• managing major changes and their impact on staff teams
• reconsidering the structure of the organisation, to make sure limited staffing resources are used to the best effect
• implementing complex human resource policies: equalities, long-term sickness, disciplinary or grievance procedures
• researching service provision, organisational capacity and other infrastructure isses
