SERVICES TO SUPPORT THE CHANGE PROCESS LIFE CYCLE
Policy, Strategy and Action Planning
The ability to translate detailed analysis into actionable insights, shape and challenge emerging policy and prepare evidence-based strategies and action plans that set the context for change is a key strength of Pentuple Consulting. We ensure strategies present a coherent vision and direction for change, clear and well understood goals, build on inherent strengths and set out the steps needed to achieve change. We also ensure they are practical to implement, forward thinking, identify appropriate delivery structures and arrangements for the deployment of resources and focus on those issues that can be directly changed and influenced.
​
As experienced change catalysts, we understand the importance of ensuring the process of preparing strategies and action plans is not undertaken in isolation. We know how to connect the dots between why a change is necessary, what outcomes are envisaged, how those outcomes will be achieved, who will be responsible for delivering those outcomes and what will that change look like at the end.

Considering the wider strategic context also helps provide a better understanding of the critical factors and potential barriers that could shape and influence the ability to deliver change.
