Green & Kassab management consultants specialise in devising and implementing reconfiguration plans that are designed to reduce budget deficits and improve service delivery.
We work with central government, local and county councils and government agencies to help them modernise, reform, improve performance and realise efficiencies through cost improvement, shared services, electronic delivery and service redesign.
Green & Kassab consultancy services can often be provided on a performance-related arrangement, whereby our fees are paid on successful delivery of agreed project outcomes. This demonstrates our confidence in our own ability.
Our public sector background
Green & Kassab directors and principal consultants have all held senior positions at executive levels. Prior to consulting, many have worked within public sector organisations, holding posts such as chief executive, director of finance, head of performance and information, which has involved managing strategic business planning, procurement programmes, service developments and reviews. Central to our work is our ability to manage change.
We have a network of over 500 associates, who are chosen to work alongside our principal consultants when fulfilling Consultancy projects. Our staff and associates also undertake interim management assignments. To find our more click Meet Our Team.
