Can we work on your case? - an offer to local businesses from
the Met

A team of four senior police personnel need to try out their skills in Ôorganisational developmentÕ. Have you got a problem they can try to solve?

Ian Thomas, Chief Superintendent of Southwark Police, is one of four police officers looking to undertake a piece of Ôproblem solvingÕ work for a Bankside business. All are either Police Commanders or very senior personnel within Departments.

As part of their leadership training programme, the officers need to test their skills in a live environment outwith the Police Service. They are seeking to address a particular issue or problem for a local organisation. The police team would spend 2 or 3 full days in house, allowing them to interview staff members, consult with other stake-holders and consider plans/structures/processes etc.

At the conclusion of the Ôon-siteÕ work and any follow-up research with customers and/or staff, the team would provide feedback to senior members of the organisation. Full terms of reference would be agreed at the outset of the work.

The benefit to the host organisation is independent and free consultation and assistance from a team of senior managers experienced in working in the public sector. The team has mixed practical and strategic management experience and two members have qualifications in Business and Change Management. There is no cost to the host organisation but obviously there would need to be a degree of co-ordination etc to ensure the opportunity was fully maximised.
