Lead partner

RedQuadrant

Lead partner of the Public Service Transformation Academy, bringing public service transformation practice, delivery capability and a wide specialist network.

The relationship

RedQuadrant led the development and launch of the Public Service Transformation Academy and remains its lead partner.

The two organisations have distinct jobs. The academy develops capability, convenes people and supports shared learning. RedQuadrant can provide hands-on diagnosis, design and delivery when an organisation needs practical transformation support beyond a learning programme.

What RedQuadrant contributes

  • Experienced public service practitioners and facilitators.
  • Work across commissioning, transformation, governance, social care and place.
  • Systems thinking, complexity and organisational design.
  • Live client work that keeps academy learning connected to current conditions.
  • Follow-on delivery where participants need help to turn plans into change.

The aim is capability transfer rather than dependency. Good work should leave the client system better able to deal with the next problem itself.
