Workforce Rationalisation
We can establish fair fee structures and assess variances in service levels through robust audit, review and negotiation of spend on individual external placements. This service is available across Adults, Children’s and Special Educational Needs, to ensure value for money.
Typically, our interventions deliver a 3:1 RoI.
Cost Review and Negotiation
Improving performance of services and a culture of KPI’s has been a first response to the fiscal pressures. However, when making decisions around the value of services and interventions ask, do you really know the impact of the service (positive and negative) and how this can effect the communities you represent and your partners?
VFM and Impact Assessment
The current drive to invest in prevention and well-being services can place significant pressures on existing service budgets.
Our four-step approach supports you to understand your current provision (across partners) and how this may be improved
to better suit local need and budget constraints.
