Local Government
Basis has developed a specialised and valuable service for improving local government capability and efficiency.
We have a reputation for providing high quality development programmes for local authority leaders and tailored support for managers and staff in the design and implementation of new ways of working.
We have undertaken an extensive array of leadership and management development assignments, many of which include the provision of executive coaching and action learning sets. Typically these large-scale programmes have a three to five year duration as our clients require a trusted partner who will provide sustained individual and team development, rather than one off courses.
Local Government clients who have engaged our learning and development services include:
- Isle of Man Government - Chief Officer development and executive coaching
- London Borough of Haringey - management development programme
- London Borough of Islington - framework agreement for training and development services
- London Borough of Lambeth - leadership and management development programme
- London Borough of Waltham Forest - leadership and management development programme
- States of Jersey - executive coaching
- Leeds City Council - framework agreement for training and development services
Basis also provides leading edge support to high profile change programmes. Recent examples include:
- process redesign and HR support for the development of Oxfordshire County Council shared services programme
- design and roll out of a smart working methodology for London Borough of Islington as it rationalised a large number of small offices in prime locations to a smaller number of larger, cheaper offices. Basis also enabled Islington to use this opportunity to develop and offer its staff new flexible working practices that were ahead of the requirements of new employment legislation
- Homes for Islington has subsequently engaged Basis to develop its smart working regime based on successes in London Borough of Islington.
