House – Public Policy Design
What We Do
Advise on the management of local and sub-regional growth
We focus on helping our clients think differently about how to develop and manage long-term and sustainable growth at the local and sub-regional level. We see capital investment as a mechanism for the realisation of local and sub-regional development and public service priorities.
We work with our clients to embed corporate level investment frameworks. We advise on infrastructure planning and delivery, capital investment and spatial strategies.
See one of our most recent projects with the London Borough of Croydon, where we worked with the senior management team to produce their 20 Year Capital Strategy.
Build strategic and delivery capability
We also work with our clients to develop the organisational capability to enable them to create and manage that growth. From programme delivery methodologies and organisational operating models through to ‘common sense commissioning’, we advise our clients on how to deliver strategically significant projects and programmes.
All our advice is sensitive to the place shaping agenda and mindful of other prevalent policy narratives. We position our advice strategically.
We worked the London Borough of Croydon and Tower Hamlets to enhance their delivery capabilities in complex and challenging circumstances.
What we won’t do
Complicate matters
Often our clients require a fresh pair of eyes and an injection of energy to help them resolve problems. We bring perspective, and keep things as simple as possible. We work closely with our clients, on site where possible.
Put inexperienced consultants on the job
Our business model means we don’t have to train our colleagues on the job. Our team and our associates are all level-headed and switched on professionals with the insight, skill and experience to deliver.
Walk away at the end of the commission
We want, as much as you, for our project outcomes to be sustainable and lasting. That’s why we invest our time in aftercare services for our clients to ensure lasting positive changes in the client organisation.
