Since 1990, Berkeley has been helping some of the UK’s leading organisations to shape strategy, mobilise resources and deliver major programmes of change, earning us a reputation as the home of some of the top management consultants in the UK. Clients turn to Berkeley when they want the right outcomes from some of their most complex challenges.
There are many different firms of management consultants in the UK. Berkeley believes its independence coupled with the depth of its consultants' experience and the breadth of its offer makes it distinct.
The work
When organisations embark on critical change – setting a new vision for a business unit or function, establishing outsourcing arrangements or integrating systems, for example – management teams face tough challenges that often require skills, experience and time that the team doesn’t have. This is one of the many reasons businesses employ management consultants. The UK economy and business environment is witnessing unprecedented levels of change, with more and more clients looking to Berkeley to take on key client advisory and delivery roles to help them succeed.
Berkeley's services encompass:
- Strategy: Development of business strategy, operational strategy, HR strategy and IT strategy.
- Mobilisation: Shaping, scoping and initiation of change programmes, including business case definition, planning, building the programme team and supplier selection.
- Delivery: Hands-on programme management and project management including programme and project review and turnaround.
What makes Berkeley different?
Berkeley's clients claim it has some of the top management consultants in the UK, singling out the fact that its people:
- Are highly experienced and have made major contributions to business change and IT change at a range of blue chip clients. The firm doesn't use associates.
- Combine strategic and delivery skills. A holistic approach ensures that strategies are robust and practical to deliver and delivery projects remain aligned with strategy.
- Take on key roles but don’t take over. With an average of 1-2 consultants on an assignment, Berkeley doesn’t overwhelm with large teams but takes only key roles.
- Is impartial and independent. Berkeley people say what they think. The consultancy has no commercial alliances with third parties, and no internal sales incentives. Its only agenda is the client’s agenda.
