"We asked SPS Consulting to provide some support and focus to our leadership transformation activity. The team listened to our requirements and engaged with the whole team before proposing a set of activities that were bespoke to our needs. The work undertaken with SPS was of the highest quality and met all the requirements we set out for them. Importantly they ensured we developed the tools and processes to take the work forward and it provided the springboard we needed to develop our children first approach."

Torbay Council

Following an Ofsted Inspection in 2011, Torbay commissioned our services to design and implement an improvement programme that took them on a journey from an inadequate rating to Adequate, over a 2 year period. The programme, branded CPIP, was highly commended by Ofsted and DfE during the 2013 inspection and throughout their inspection report.

Hillingdon Health & Care Partnership

SPS are a great company to partner with. The senior consultant, Steven, is an experienced programme manager and change agent. When I was working with him he really pushed the organisation to approach change in a more joined up and structured way. He is commercially savvy and understands the importance of putting real effort into engaging staff in service change. He’s also good fun to work with.
