This immediately disenfranchises thousands of smaller companies who don't have the resources to secure a place on these frameworks.I am working with Bramble Hub, a company that helps small ICT suppliers overcome these barriers.We do this by winning a prime position on the targeted frameworks and connecting the best ICT companies with the public sector organisations wishing to procure cost effective solutions via these frameworks, which include: * Data & Application Solutions* Digital Outcomes and Specialists* G-Cloud * Management Consultancy* Technology Services.* NHS IT and consultancy frameworks.I am working with Bramble Hub because I like its win/win/win approach: WIN: Government achieves its objective: to use more SMEsWIN: It gives our partners visibility of tender opportunities they would otherwise not see...WIN: There's no up front cost - we only get paid when our partners do.Take a look for yourself: www.bramblehub.co.uk and contact me if this sounds interesting for your company.

I developed an innovative Change Readiness Assessment methodology, which considered the complexity of a change project in the context of the organisation’s cultural and process management capability. Because the methodology identifies the barriers to change and quantifies their impact on the project’s ROI, practitioners are able to predict success or failure, gain senior management ownership of the ‘soft’ issues that typically get ignored and facilitate the application of the skills and tools needed to deliver the full benefits. The principles of this approach were published as ‘The Change Equation’ (Nov 2009) and have been applied to building Capability for Change into public, private and non-profit sector clients. The Imaginist Company has now been closed as I am working full time with Bramebl Hub but if you are interested in finding out more about this approach, you can still contact me at peterd@imaginist.co.uk.The Imaginist Company led a group of associates and partners with experience and skills in business transformation, process improvement, project & programme management and leadership coaching. They delivered excellent results for over 100 satisfied clients in the UK and around the world. Projects include working with a couple of non-profit organisations and a global electronics company to help design their transformation programme and a Change Readiness training course for their managers. In this economic climate, can you afford for that change project to fail? Show less
