LeighFisher has a strong and growing track record of advising clients on new service delivery models. Clients want innovative structures that minimize overlap and duplication, enable new ways of working, break down barriers, reduce costs, attract new funding and skills, and motivate their people to out-perform. They may have become too centralized and now wish to develop their regional and local presence, as a precursor to divestment of parts of their organization. Or they are grappling with how to manage their supply chain and rationalize the number of suppliers.
Typically they want to set up a strategic partnership and want advice as to where, on the spectrum of partnerships to Joint Ventures they should aim, from internal service re-organization to privatization, or from a wholly owned public structure, through public – public joint ventures to a public private joint venture. Many clients may not wish to progress to a full joint venture but seek a strategic partnership with another organization which can bring investment, new skills and management expertise but without loss of control. LeighFisher attracts and retains skilled and experienced consultants who have led restructurings and know the pitfalls and opportunities.
