Consultancy and Support

Central to our work is promoting organisational cultures which are open to challenge and scrutiny – this forms an essential bedrock on which governance behaviours, structures and processes become effective.

People with decision-making duties, and those holding them to account as non-executives, hold a responsibility in common – a responsibility to act in the interests of good governance, and a responsibility to act accountable and with probity.

We provide a range of services, from one-off training sessions for elected members in small district councils to multi-year corporate governance support for large multinationals. .

• The private sector (like Mears, Skanska and Engie);
• Bodies in the housing sector (like NHF and L&Q);
• Membership organisations (like the LEP Network and Royal College of Nursing);
• Non-profits and organisations with unique governance arrangements (like the Diocese of London and Suma);
• Bodies in the NHS, with whom we are carrying out significant work on preparation for the establishment of “integrated care systems”;
• Local government, where we have particular technical expertise and work with a large number of local authorities across England.
