Central Government

Hedra has an impressive track-record in helping central government departments and agencies achieve their objectives over the past 17 years. Our expertise can help you with all aspects of change in different contexts; from policy processes, through strategy development to delivery at the front line.

In terms of policy, Hedra has provided core consulting support to the definition of the UK Government Transformation Strategy and we continually tailor what we do to focus on the needs for service transformation in the public sector. We work at the centre of government and with departments on taking forward key initiatives such as shared services and CSR07/Value for Money. 

Our services are not just about policy and strategy. In fact, most of our work is about helping public bodies deliver benefit on the ground through the design and implementation of real improvements to organisations; the way people work and their enabling technology. Over the years, Hedra is proud to have worked for virtually all the central government departments and major agencies.

We know that our ability to meet your needs depends on how well we know the specific pressures and challenges across different areas of central government. For example, CSR07 settlements will impact different departments in different ways as government seeks to align public services with future global pressures (e.g. climate change or cross-border terrorism).

Our central government team focuses in four key areas:

The centre and major departments - where the welfare of citizens and the transformation of public services are key concerns.

Education - where the agenda is improving the nation’s base of skills and expertise.

Regulators - with a focus on establishing the appropriate framework for economic activity that balances the needs of business, end consumers and the citizen (e.g. tax-payer).

Justice - which concentrates on developing the whole system of justice - from detection to recidivism - to improve the outcome for many different types of “customer” (e.g. the accused, victims, relatives, witnesses).

As a responsible consulting organisation focussing on serving the public sector, we recognise the pressures on the public-purse and the need to ensure you achieve value for money. We will tie our performance to the level of benefits achieved – ensuring that our ambition on every assignment is to deliver your vision.
