Hello & welcome!
We are changing the change
We recognise you are dealing with complex problems. We work with organisations dedicated to improving the lives of the most vulnerable people in society. Traditional approaches to improving services assume it’s possible to design perfect solutions upfront, to deliver them within pre-determined timeframes and budgets and to predict the impact they will have in advance. For most of our clients, these approaches have failed.
You’ve probably found our website because you’ve got a hunch your organisation’s approach to projects, change management and improvement is broken. We offer an alternative.
We work with you to build capacity and deliver Agile ways of working that embrace this complexity and deliver tangible improvements, quickly.
Consulting.
For us, consulting doesn’t mean having all the answers. We bring together people who feel the pain of a service not working well to understand the problem they are facing, to design solutions and to put them into practice. We facilitate, we coach and we teach.
Agile Training Courses.
We pioneered the use of Agile in public services and deliver the only Agile training programme designed with and for the public sector. Our Agile Master in Public Services programme has now been attended by over 1500 delegates from across the public and social sectors..
Online Collaboration Events.
By combining the use of facilitation techniques that promote participation with digital tools that enable collaboration our events are the antithesis to the ‘death by slides’ webinar.
Impact sprints.
We use Impact Sprints to help teams develop and test solutions to messy problems, quickly. Drawing inspiration from Google Ventures’ Design Sprints, General Electric’s GE Workout and Lean’s Kaizen Blitz we’ve spent 10 years honing our approach and have used it to tackle challenges and improve outcomes with hundreds of services in the public sector.
Leadership and Coaching.
Our work is helping you build the requisite leadership craft to match this critical time in history. But leading is a choice not a role. Raise your hand to lead and we will support your leadership development.

It's a no-brainer, I can't recommend this course enough.

I found your Online Consulting and Facilitation course to be invaluable! It has really helped to make working remotely just that little bit more bearable.

The atmosphere created by the Basis team makes learning easy and fun. The variety of experience from the team helps provide a wholesome experience for me and I would definitely take part in future courses.
