Lean and systems thinking

Lean and ‘systems thinking’ are concepts which have come to mean ‘all things to all people’. Lean is not ‘mean’ – it is not about paring things back to the bone, asking employees to work harder and doing more with less.

Mobile and flexible working

Reduce accommodation costs and work smarter

Everyone is looking for ways to cut costs. Releasing expensive office accommodation results in real cashable savings and is one of the least painful ways of making significant cost reductions.

At the same time, using your accommodation more flexibly will increase your ability to adapt more easily to future change.

We have developed methods and practices on how to gain the highest levels of savings in the shortest amount of time for the lowest investment. Because we are independent we canfocus on what is most cost-effective. This allows us to ensure the different parties; IT/Telephony suppliers, accommodation experts, HR/OD, process experts, facilities management and others, work effectively together and stay focussed on the sustainable cashable benefits.

There is a need for flexible and mobile working programmes to achieve their cashable savings faster – while retaining or increasing the current level of productivity. Our highly successful expert team shares here a short paper on the common problems and key lessons: RedQuadrant on using a maturity model.

Our experience

We are leading Hammersmith & Fulham’s SmartWorking programme which has already delivered accommodation savings in excess of £1.3m per annum with the disposal of one large office block, and will release another major building later this year. We are working with departments to realise cashable benefits from productivity increases related to flexible working which have been enabled by improved technology and processes as a result of this project.

Our consultants also have extensive experience of working on other accommodation savings projects – please see our clients page.
