Leadership and Governance

Delivering public services with high-quality governance is key to planning and delivering a transformational TIP and projects. We are here to support you in optimising organisation, ways of working, and service and technology design, ensuring that the services you provide, and the delivery of your plans are future-ready.

The type of support we can offer includes:

• access to self-assessment tools for organisational maturity assessments

• review or design of delivery plans and associated capacity building

• leadership development for your Board, officers or project leads

• learning bursts, workshops and seminars designed and delivered online
