“Innovation only works when you truly understand what’s unique about a system – its people, culture and assets – and apply solutions in a way that delivers real impact.”

Watch our Innovation PodcastOur Approach
Health systems are being asked to deliver fundamental change – from prevention and neighbourhood care to advanced therapies and innovation at scale, as set out in the NHS 10 Year Plan and Life Sciences Sector Plan.
We support leaders to turn this ambition into practical, deliverable models of care.
We offer:
Strategy and investment
Business cases for novel services – using HMT guidance but applying to situations where outcomes are uncertain, helping leaders make balanced decisions on use of funds.
Value propositions and investment cases – identifying areas where the NHS can create value and growth, and setting out the must-dos to capture that value.
Built environment for innovation – learning and applying lessons from national and international exemplars on the models that drive digital technology to deliver preventative care in new settings – making innovation simple for investment cases.
Partnership and commercial design
Effective partnerships – working within and cross-sector to create a compelling proposition that delivers value for service users and for all contributing parties, developing powerful coalitions to innovate and drive change.
Commercial models for public sector – helping public service leaders understand the real needs of business and position their contributions to deliver improved outcomes while attracting new investment and capturing fair value.
Launching or refreshing programmes from transformational changes
Strategic design and setting up of new groups – understanding current state and programme aims, and working to establish structures and groups that will enable success. Bringing structure to ambiguity.
Data driven innovation – strategic design of data driven programmes and tech arch developments to allow true whole system working and capture the rich possibilities of longitudinal and large population data.
Commissioning cases
Commissioning cases and future state identification – working to assist the transition from trials to practice, navigating regulation and value for money sign off. Crucially, grounding this in implementation, moving beyond the economic analysis to implementation reality.
