What We Do
AllThorpe Consulting
Our people are all experienced consultants or ex police officers or ex justice professionals, this blend of backgrounds brings leading edge expertise and specific, relevant insight that is only possible when someone has lived and breathed the profession for many years.
Strategy is what closes the gap between having a vision and making it a reality. Every journey starts today, rooted in the challenges and opportunities we have around us. Embracing the good, bad and the ugly establishes a firm basis upon which to build a more certain future. Together we can embrace the creativity and leadership of our clients, and combined with the practical experience of business change, knowledge of technology and insight of innovation our consultants we can map the journey that will make a difference to staff, officers and the public.
Questions we can help you answer
The pressure on Policing and Justice has never been so great, not enough money, not enough people and ever-rising public expectations. Our clients are increasingly having to think like business leaders, having to balance budgets, delivery of service and the welfare of staff and officers. At AllThorpe we are able to support senior officers with exploiting commercial business principles, helping design how organisational functions can operate is new ways that have traditionally not been part of the culture.
Questions we can help you answer
So often we see operating models depict a future of efficiency and effectiveness, but how often do we see considerations given to the physical, mental, and emotional welfare of those impacted by new ways of working? The best ideas or solutions will fail if people chose it to fail. At AllThorpe we work with our clients to understand where to compromise, where to change, how far to change and how best to blend people, processes, and technology to build something that exploits all the opportunities while carefully avoiding the challenges.
Questions we can help you answer
Never losing sight of why we are changing is key to making a difference. Working closely with our clients we help initiatives refocus towards the purpose, creating clarity of the benefits, who they impact and how they can be realised in real-world terms. Making benefits a key part of any work, right form the onset, allows for solutions to maximise the potential benefits while minimising the risks.
Questions we can help you answer
The best processes and most innovative technology will only succeed if people want it to succeed. Ensuring that the people dimension of any change is the single most critical part over which there is the least amount of control, but it can be influence so everyone is a winner. There are many techniques, strategies and methodologies for systematically managing the risk of business change however, at AllThorpe we put to use the proven approach of having the right personalities able to engage with sensitivity, empathy and honesty.
Our clients work in very high pressure jobs, any form of change (even change for the better) is often met with resistance, so recognising that being right and having the best answers, will never be enough.
