PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT THROUGH CONSULTANCY AND SOFTWARE

GCL Management Consultants offer independence you can trust and solutions that work. We have brought added value to our customers for over 16 years, working in central government and their agencies, local government and the not-for-profit sector.

En_Vision - process and performance-management
A highly customisable combination of forward-planning, performance-management, process-mapping and supporting software allowing you to set direction and make decisions with confidence.

"GCL's intimate knowledge of Local Government and formulating Balanced Scorecards in the Public Sector proved to be invaluable in developing our performance management framework" - Martin Blake, Suffolk Coastal District Council

The consultancy
When approaching any project we realise how important it is to work sympathetically with you and your organisation. In this way we develop a framework that will form the basis of your performance and process-management strategy that is tailored to your specific needs.

Our experienced consultants will work with you to ensure that you have the necessary infrastructure and 'knowledge base' in place to help your organisation in its:

.  Community planning
.  Corporate planning
.  Performance management
.  Process mapping
.  Technology implementation.

The software
"This new system will enable us to look at how we are performing on all the services and how to manage our resources efficiently. It is a sound investment in our commitment to giving the best value for money at a time when we are constantly looking at how we can make the limited funding we have work harder..." - Tudor Evans, Leader of Plymouth City Council

We are consultants and implementers, not software developers, but we also realise that you need the tools to work effectively. That's why we have entered a partnership with the leading supplier of process and performance software, QPR. This allows us to supply and support a suite of tools to meet your needs.

Integrated easy-to-use strategic and performance management software
QPR ScoreCard is a fully featured strategic and performance-management tool. With QPR ScoreCard, the public sector can successfully plan, implement, communicate and commit people to organisational strategies, vision and objectives. Unlike other performance-management solutions, QPR ScoreCard has fully integrated risk-register and action-planning tools. So you can easily view your risks and their effect on your performance!

QPR ProcessGuide is an advanced process-mapping tool. It allows you to model your processes and simulate alternative ways of working in 'real-time'. QPR ProcessGuide forms part of GCL Management Consultants En_Vision solution. Through the use of this tool you can achieve true transformational change and see the impact of this improvement.

Both products are fully integrated providing you with a complete strategic performance-management tool that will lead to real service improvements.

The QPR software is in use by approximately 500 public-sector clients worldwide (20 in the UK) and is the only solution to offer this breadth of functionality:

.  Performance management
.  Risk management
.  Corporate/service planning
.  Project management
