About us
Our consultants
Qi Consulting's consultants are only taken on by direct recommendation and/or scrutiny. They offer a unique blend of management and technical expertise and proven understanding of public service issues at senior management level, supported by a wide range of business and technical specialisms. Many of them have backgrounds in the major consultancies or the senior civil service
We can offer consultants at all levels, though we are particularly strong at senior levels. For example, we can offer the most senior former civil servants (Grade 1 and below) and military personnel (Defence Staff and below), together with senior managers with proven track records in delivering complex public sector programmes and projects.
In recent years the public sector has changed its approach to its use of consultants - in particular, the changing balance between consultancy and the use of interim managers. These roles are particularly useful in change environments, allied to a line position that can more easily facilitate change directly.
Qi Consulting currently provides more than 100 accredited Assurance/Gateway™ Review Team Leaders and Team Members to the Cabinet Office; the devolved governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and other government departments including BEIS, the MOD, HMRC, Department of Health, Ministry of Justice and the Department of Transport.
Our consultants have undertaken hundreds of high risk, high value and complex Assurance/Gateway™ Reviews.
