Human capital and data consulting for the public sector.
- Workforce
- Data
- Tooling
Colleges, trusts, universities, councils, housing providers and government bodies run on people, and on systems that were never designed to work together.
We join up your workforce, your data and your tools, and leave you running on something better.
Workforce, data and tooling: one problem. The value is in the joins.
Culture, communications, people, hiring, workforce and development: one connected view of human capital and productivity. The three strands below are not a menu. Each one answers a problem the last one found, and each leaves you needing less of us.
People & Workforce
Workforce planning, retention, and HR systems that actually fit how you operate. Nearly half of public sector organisations run manual workarounds because their HR and payroll systems can't do what's needed. We fix the model and the machinery.
Data & Insight
One warehouse for your data, one dashboard layer bespoke to your institution. Only a quarter of councils have a well-established data warehouse, and most can't hire the specialists to build one. We build it with you, starting with your people data.
Software that stays
The dashboards, people systems and ATS we've built and tested in real engagements, packaged so you keep them, run them, and own the benefit long after we've gone. No perpetual consulting bill. Try the client portal and see for yourself.
Diagnose. Design. Build. Embed. Insights & Signals.
Every engagement starts with a fixed-fee Workforce Diagnostic: three to four weeks, a clear read on your workforce and your data, and a costed plan. If the plan says “you don't need us for the next bit”, that's what it says.
-
Diagnose
The Workforce Diagnostic. Where the money leaks, where the data lives and doesn't join, and a costed, sequenced plan. Yours to keep either way.
-
Design
The target state, set with your leadership team: the workforce model, the systems around it, and the measures that will tell you it's working.
-
Build
The joins. A warehouse across MIS, HR, payroll and finance, a dashboard layer bespoke to your institution, and the people-system changes to match.
-
Embed
The software stays. Dashboards, people systems and recruitment tooling become yours to run, with support as light or as involved as you want.
-
Insights & Signals
The numbers keep working after we leave. Live sector benchmarks, pay and hiring signals, and alerts when your own numbers drift: delivered through the portal, so you see the change before it costs you.
Don't take our word for it: use one of our tools.
The client portal is the Software strand working in public: register your organisation, upload an HR document, and ask it questions. Every answer is drawn only from your documents and verified against them, claim by claim, before you see it. Signed-in clients also get live pay benchmarks from across the sector.
