The Berkeley Partnership

The work

Business leaders are under almost continual pressure to change, whether for market or internal reasons.  Yet often they do not have the time, or the necessary skills, to ensure they can respond successfully. 

The types of challenges that clients ask Berkeley to help them address include:

 

  • Expansion: new products and services, new channels, new geographical regions or completely new ventures
  • Transformation: new business models, new processes or technologies, outsourcing, management restructuring 
  • Rationalisation: business turnarounds, re-focusing of activities, divesting
  • Integration: post-merger or acquisition, set up of shared services

Berkeley will provide support throughout a business transformation. Consultants advise across the full lifecycle of change – from the formulation of strategy, through shaping and mobilisation of programmes to the delivery and realisation of benefits. 

 
The nature of Berkeley’s involvement varies depending on the clients' capabilities; they may take an extended programme management role or simply provide a short project review. London-based consultants can provide support for just a few weeks, or over a longer period, for example taking an interim position, while clients find a permanent resource. 
 

Berkeley’s clients span a wide range of sectors, and the broader experience of their consultants adds even greater industry reach. Berkeley sees this as an asset that allows its consultants to bring a wealth of external best practice and learning. 

 

The biggest compliment clients can – and do - pay is that they keep coming back. In fact, over 95% of the consultancy’s work comes from repeat business. So not only do Berkeley’s clients see the results they want, but they clearly enjoy the journey.
