It is irrelevant whether an organization is for profit, not for profit or governmental, all must maximize effect whilst minimizing cost and risk. This very much includes police forces, prison services and the military. Better efficiency creates more resources to spend, without reducing effect.
The Consultancy practice works with clients to address business and organizational issues at the strategic, operational and tactical levels. The application of sound business principles to force-related activities assists both in maximizing effects at minimum cost, and in reinforcing the creation of an appropriate use of force culture. |
Consulting activities address organizational structure, culture, working practices and interaction with a client’s environment. Consulting activities can operate at a discreet level, working with a single office or problem, such as redesigning an organization’s promotion structure to achieve better control and better motivate and reward staff, or it can conduct a broader program to bring up to date an organization, such as a police force, that has fallen behind current operational and organization thinking, and is less effective, and efficient, than it should be.
The Consultancy practice uses a mix of former service personnel, business consultants, and those with experience of both, to create effective, lasting solutions to a client’s problems.
Consultancy Example
An international security firm that was expanding into the high-risk executive protection field wanted to create a set of standard operating procedures that were world class. We worked with the client to understand their requirement; the areas they would be working in, the threats posed in those areas, the competency and ongoing training level of their employees, their equipment types and the company culture. We then designed a set of operating procedures, tactics and techniques that maximised their effectiveness by exploiting their core competencies. |
