Finding Solutions

Statement

The public sector faces continuing pressure to modernise, integrate and meet ever more exacting service demands, while reducing spending and staff.

In this environment, support from Urban IQ can be a more cost-effective way of bringing in a fresh perspective than a full time, internal management capability. Our staff and associates have decades of experience working in central and local government, the NHS, voluntary and community organisations and the partnerships that bring them together. This multi agency knowledge helps us to develop creative multifaceted solutions to problems that sometimes seem overwhelming.

“To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing.”

Raymond Williams
