DragonGate research and market intelligence breaks down the manifold challenges and complexity of the UK public sector into manageable areas of focus for public and private sector partners.
Through qualitative research and our deep experience and consideration of people, processes and policy, DragonGate’s project management team works with clients from both the public and private sector to: –
- Stress test strategy and understand challenges and opportunities for delivery from a range of informed vantage points in public and commercial expertise
- Build up delivery partnerships and the business case through stakeholder engagement
- Design and supporting the roll out of new, innovative but realistic solutions to big challenges through our experienced panel of associates
We run exclusive, thought-provoking seminars and roundtables under the Chatham House Rule for senior public leaders from across the public sector to join the dots – to combine the intimately connected agendas that are often siloed – for transforming public services.
Our approach throughout is to work closely with our clients to provide tailored, pragmatic, mini-programme approaches which provide lasting and tangible results.
