WHAT WE DO

We believe even the best organisations can be better. This means doing more than just delivering reports. It means delivering measurable results.

In every organisation, there are complex challenges that can be solved to gain more efficiency and more productivity. Change is essential to improve the organisation. There are plenty of ways organisations can go about effecting change. 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 Grad 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 forming relationships 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

  • 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 programmes is a mentoring programme 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, both 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.
