IMPOWER Consulting
IMPOWER is not an off-the-shelf consulting company. Since 2000, we have worked exclusively within the public sector to solve complex social problems by changing behaviours. We recognise that re-designing public services requires deeper citizen insight, stronger relationships and better collaboration. Our in-depth knowledge of the public sector and our understanding of the complexities faced in delivering high quality services with shrinking budgets has enabled us to deliver real results for our clients. IMPOWER is now the country’s largest independent consultancy focusing on change and transformation across all local public services. Our success stems from our distinctive approach that combines a deep knowledge of the public sector with a genuine commitment to better outcomes for those accessing public services. Our Team IMPOWER is a growing team of innovators and change motivators, who use behavioural insight to transform public service delivery. We work with some of the largest and most innovative public services in the country, so this is an opportunity to create high impact, sustainable change. If you have a passion for improving public services alongside the energy and motivation to tackle some of our clients’ most difficult challenges, we’d like to hear from you.
