Change management: helping organisations both identify the need for change and then achieve that change. Most change is about people and that is where we focus.

Strategy development: identifying and clarifying the drivers for change, creating a compelling vision, logical and practical generation of the steps to implementation.

Stakeholder analysis and management: defining who the key influencers and decision makers are, how to target them and get their buy-in.

Team development: identifying how the team works together and using several tools to build on its strengths. We work with TMS Development International’s Margerison-McCann Team Management Systems and several of our consultants are TMS accredited.

What is it that we are really good at?

Understanding that delivering change requires a combination of strong programme management, impartial organisational interventions (e.g., governance and process), and behavioural changes (culture, communication and leadership). We not only offer skills, experience and capabilities in all these areas, but also know how to develop and integrate them in parallel.
Structuring and leading programmes that bring these aspects together.
Bringing experience from outside defence to bear in new approaches to old problems.
What differentiates us from the Big 4?

We only have high quality and experienced people. Members of the JA Consulting team that win a contract for work will also be key in delivering it. Our senior consultants have the in-depth knowledge of the activities to be able to simultaneously deliver, engage and challenge.
We are nimble and responsive; we can adapt to changing requirements and we really listen to what clients say they want and need.
We bring expertise from other domains, and outside Defence, but we keep our experts working in the area where they are most effective, so they build up skills and experience.
We focus on people at the heart of organisations, at the individual, the team and the organisational level.
