PEOPLE MANAGEMENT We can review organisations to test the fit between staff and business objectives. Particularly when businesses grow, mismatches arise between strategies, staff and structures. Reconfiguration is essential for a business to navigate growth. But this requires sensitive, firm, action, based on logical persuasion and achieving consensus amongst key stakeholders.
STRATEGIC AUDIT We examine existing businesses in detail, including salary structures, for purposes of reconciling roles and responsibilities with remuneration. Staff are (rightly and understandably) very sensitive about intrusion into such matters, so only our senior directors become involved in projects involving personal information about your staff. Our data protection registration number is Z6562451.
'STRUCTURAL' REVIEWS We can review the structure of your organisation with a view to achieving rationalisation, resilience, efficiency, or cost savings.
FEASIBILITY STUDIES We undertake feasibility studies to test whether or not proposed business strategies and solutions are both viable and practical.
BUSINESS PLANNING We prepare business plans, especially for submission to governments or other public bodies, for grant support.
EVALUATIONS We evaluate initiatives and projects that are wholly or partially complete. Outcomes are measured against the original objectives.
ESTABLISHMENT Honesty Limited was incorporated in 1995. For almost a quarter of a century we have provided consultancy advice and services to predominantly public sector clients, particularly local authorities and the police.
