WHAT WE DO

We work side by side with organisations to unlock complex problems and deliver meaningful impact.

In every organisation, there are challenges that can be solved to gain more efficiency and more productivity. More than KPIs or fancy presentations, what matters is real change that transforms communities and people. At Newton, we are so confident about the impact we can create, that we guarantee our fees against it. This is how we do it:

Derek, Consultant

Public Sector

Derek, a consultant at the time, worked with a local council to help their social workers find better ways to deliver good outcomes for children.

“We worked with a council to build a tool that gave social workers the visibility and headspace to manage their caseload.”
Jazz, Business Manager

Consumer Sector

Jazz, Business Manager but a Graduate Consultant at the time worked with a top grocery retailer, battling against the rise of discounters.

“We worked with colleagues on the shop floor to co-design solutions, which work for them and the real-world challenges they faced every day.”
Catriona, Digital Consultant

Defence & Infrastructure

Catriona, a Digital Consultant who joined us in 2021 got to see quickly first-hand how the digital, data-driven work she was doing was empowering the client to make better decisions.

“Our solution really motivated the client – as it was giving them a level of insight that they previously wouldn’t have had access to, leaving them in a really strong position.”

Stages of a project

  • 1

    One team from day one

    We create change by working together as a single, cohesive team. We work with the belief that we will only get the results we need by collaborating closely at every level. Across roles, we come together to solve the challenge and discover the most valuable insights.

  • 2

    Assessment: Finding the focus

    We never start off assuming we know the answer. Hard evidence, gathered first-hand, is – for us – the only solid foundation for relevant, effective, and lasting change. We start right at the coalface, uncovering the insight and the truths we need to make the most important decisions.

  • 3

    Total clarity

    Once we have greater visibility and insight into what’s happening, we create a plan which clearly and definitively pinpoints the changes that will deliver the biggest impact. And this is where our initial approach pays off. Because we’ve designed the plan as one team, from the outset, and because we’ve directly engaged those most affected along the way, the whole organisation will be able to understand, and get behind, what needs to happen.

  • 4

    The hardest yards

    Implementation is where many change programmes fail (and also where many consultancies ride off into the sunset). With Newton it’s different. We test, measure, and iterate solutions at the heart of our client’s operations. And we don't leave until the goals we jointly set out to achieve are delivered.

  • 5

    Lasting impact (or no fees)

    We are not in the business of delivering reports, nice ideas, recommendations, and rhetoric about change. Instead, we deliver actual measurable results. We believe so strongly in our ability to create a lasting impact that we guarantee our fees against it.

  • 6

    Same team, whole new ball game

    Consultancies don’t solve problems, people do. By this stage, we will have worked seamlessly with every level of our client organisation, building their skills, confidence, and insight; everything they need to sustain the improvements made and enhance them even further. Crucially, we’ll have instilled in their team the ability to adapt and go it alone when the goalposts move.

FAQs

  • Do you do volunteer or pro bono work?
    The Newton Foundation was created by our people to maximise the positive impact Newton has on society outside of our client work. One of our flagship initiatives is a mentoring program, which we run with the Social Mobility Foundation, supporting underprivileged students through their studies and into the world of work. We also support several charities financially and through our improvement methodologies, helping them to operate more effectively. We support our people with individual charitable causes through our payroll donation scheme.
  • What other sectors are you planning on expanding into?
    Our service is divided into three clusters of sectors: Public, Consumer, and Defence & Infrastructure. Over the coming years, Newton will further consolidate our offerings in these sectors and explore other potential markets and industries.
  • What training do you offer?
    We invest in your training and go to extraordinary lengths to help you make the most of your talents. The details of your development will be tailored to your needs and aspirations. But broadly speaking, you can expect a clear development path that starts with a comprehensive induction from the people that do the job, quickly followed by valuable on-the-job learning and training from in-house experts, all supported by an online learning tool. At every promotion level you will be put through a weeklong training course, preparing you for the next stage of your career at Newton.
  • Can I decide what project/sector I work in? What if I don’t like the project/sector I’m working in?

    Scheduling at Newton is unique in that it is very people-oriented. Individual development and skills are taken into consideration when making allocations. To allow you to get the most out of what we have to offer, in the first year, we’ll aim where possible to give you experience across all our clusters.

     

    While we don’t offer a choice of project or cluster, we'll consider any personal reasons you feel might preclude you from a particular assignment when scheduling. For example, if you have moral objections, religious beliefs, medical reasons, or conflicts of interest.

  • When will I know what project I’m on?
    Consultants are scheduled onto projects primarily based on business needs. Our client's needs are often unique, so the lengths and locations of projects can vary. We aim for projects to be confirmed at least two weeks before the project start date.
