Our point of difference is combining deep public sector understanding with practical implementation expertise. Unlike firms that deliver theoretical frameworks, we focus on creating solutions that work in real-world government contexts with practical tools your team can actually use. 

We take a team approach to projects meaning that if one individual is unavailable the rest of the team are able to step up to deliver. In addition, we have robust knowledge management practices such as maintaining documents and internal knowledge sharing. If staff changes do occur, we manage this carefully with no cost or detriment to clients or the overall project. 

Absolutely - we work in partnership with your team regardless of the project scope or management. Many of our projects involve Allen + Clarke people working alongside or as part of your internal team. 

We have robust conflict management policies and processes. These include transparent disclosure of potential conflicts and establishing appropriate information management practices when needed. We discuss potential conflicts openly during project initiation and agree management strategies with our clients. 

Our project planning approach typically includes establishing clear governance and reporting processes from the beginning. This typically includes regular status updates, milestone reporting, and executive dashboards. Our approach emphasises no surprises, with early and transparent flagging of emerging issues. 

At the beginning of a project, we will identify key stakeholders, relationship sensitivities, and develop an appropriate engagement plan. We have found that communicating a clear plan with stakeholders up-front, and being genuine in how they will be engaged and how their feedback has been taken on board is the best approach. Our team has experience in managing complex stakeholder dynamics, including navigating agency relationships and ministerial relationships.
