All senior leaders and executives are under constant pressure to improve operational performance within an ever more demanding commercial environment. Often initiatives, such as new product or service development, cost reduction exercises, staff engagement or quality improvement plans, are put in place to maintain competitiveness, improve performance or just survive. However, we believe sustainable competitiveness and delivering considerably ‘more for less’ requires more fundamental organisational change, hence the emergence of the ‘business transformation’ approach to driving organisational performance, growth and success. Prospect Consultancy is a Norwich-based consultancy offering proven expertise in organisational development and business transformation. This seminar explores the challenges and opportunities for large or small organisations that are interested in implementing the principles of business transformation to achieve effective organisational improvement. We will share a range of case studies, including the recent transformation of a group of large public sector organisations into one high performing private sector company, delivered through innovative business transformation disciplines and led by our Norfolk based team. This seminar offers insights into how all organisations, public, not-for-profit and private, can effect significant, comprehensive and lasting change. To book your place please contact: [email protected] by 22nd June 2018 For further information about Prospect Consultancy please visit or click on the Event Flyer attached: www.prospectconsultancy.org.uk

Injuries and new cases of ill health resulting from current working conditions in the construction industry can cause significant disruption, delays and cost to projects.

We would like to invite you to join an in-person workshop session Tuesday 18th June, between 8:30am and 10:00am to learn more about and contribute to the creation of Norfolk’s Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS), a new statutory plan to help enhance and restore nature across the county.
Declining biodiversity is increasing physical risks to businesses and the wider finance system. The overall goal of the LNRS is to halt this decline, which is why your views as an economic stakeholder are so important to us. Your business may already have a sustainability initiative in place that involves nature, may be considering one, or may not be in a position to consider this now. No matter your position, we value your perspective and want to make sure Norfolk’s LNRS accounts for it.
As well as having the opportunity to network with other stakeholders, contribute to the development of the strategy, discuss your priorities and current nature based actions, in this session you’ll have the chance to consider:
– How better outcomes for nature reduce long-term risks by playing a major role in climate adaptation, economic development and human health and wellbeing.
– What role nature recovery plays in the process of protecting and improving nature, and why the involvement of businesses like yours is crucial to success.
Norfolk’s strategy is being delivered by Norfolk County Council, who are currently seeking input from a wide range of stakeholders. Overall, the LNRS is being supported and developed by the Norfolk and Suffolk Nature Recovery Partnership, and you can find out more information from our website https://www.nsnrp.org/
Refreshments will be provided, please let us know about any dietary requirement you may have.
