Why consider the Urwick Group?

The developing country environment

Developing countries are under great pressure, both to modernise their public administrations, and to grow their private sectors with strong links into understanding how state enterprises and modern decentralised governments operate.  The key to sustained change during such transitions is primarily the people of these organisations.  Successful change is very strongly dependent on managing the people components of development, in conjunction with increasing modernisations using broad ranging ICT systems and methods. 

Group Members' Experience

The Urwick Group members are highly experienced in the cross-cultural people aspects of such changing and developing organisations.  We can therefore offer practical and effective facilitation for introducing modern practices and private sector initiatives into state and government organisations in transition, especially in developing countries. 

And, importantly, because of the level and scope of our individual and collective experience in international consultancy, the management overhead for the lead consultancy is minimised - no small matter in these days of falling project budgets and the rising cost of compliance with funding agencies’ requirements.
