National & Local Government

Supporting leaders in all walks of government

Government agencies whether local, national or focused on a specific discipline are part of our everyday life and at Tricordant we have worked with many of these organisations.

We know that the UK Civil Service is facing a time of significant challenge and departments across national and local government are expected to respond at pace to deliver reform across the three fronts of People, Performance and Partnership, to level up our country.

We understand the need and methods to work with politicians as well as officers, the intricacies that involves especially the closer we get to any election.

The Challenges

The challenges facing the organisations and leaders that Tricordant are working with are many and varied but certainly include:

Managing the rise of digital technology

Addressing the changing nature of work

Improving diversity and inclusion

Our Approach

We know that each civil service department, agency and local authority has specific and unique challenges and that the required organisation design and development capabilities need to be flexible to meet those needs, whilst supporting the aims and ambitions of the wider system.

Tricordant are leaders in the field of organisation design and development and offer a range of services where we co-create with you to deliver bespoke support, which will bring your vision to reality with sustainable outcomes.

A key focus in all of our work is to develop internal Organisation Design and Development practitioners, to ensure sustainability of the work in hand and to develop system-working across departments for better alignment and maximised impact of initiatives.

Regardless of the challenges faced, we help our clients make sense of complex environments and focus on how to configure their organisation for lasting success.
