Agenda have enabled us to achieve real changes in the way we work. The have helped us with the development of internal support functions, our management structures and processes and have worked with our Board on governance matters. Their approach is always supportive and developmental and results in tangible change.

Agenda Consulting have added real value to the Big Lottery Fund's Board and senior management team. Roger's skilled and thoughtful facilitation and guidance has enabled us to resolve a series of key strategic and planning issues with a minimum of fuss. Management speak is not high on Agenda's list of priorities - clarity, problem-solving and understanding the client are.

Stephen Dunmore, Chief Executive, Big Lottery Fund

Agenda Consulting have played an invaluable role in helping turn In Control from a small project into an effective social enterprise, company and charity. By listening carefully and developing a strong understanding of the organisation's ethos and purpose Agenda have been able to provide solutions quickly and efficiently.

Simon Duffy, Chief Executive, In Control Partnerships

We worked with Agenda on our 2007 employee survey. This enabled us to get a good handle on how our staff view IIED, and we are now implementing an action plan to move forward on the key issues identified. Agenda provided excellent support throughout the process, fed back the results to managers and staff and enabled us to really concentrate on priorities.

Nick Greenwood, HR Manager, International Institute for Environment and Development

We have had a close association with Agenda Consulting over a number of years. Their expertise helped us in the development and analysis of our first-ever staff survey in 2005 and we are currently working together on Rethink’s 2007 survey. They have guided us through the complexities of surveying a very dispersed Social Care workforce. We can recommend Agenda to any organisation working in the voluntary sector as they have an in-depth understanding and interest in the specific needs of the sector, as demonstrated by their “People Count” benchmarking report, produced on a annual basis, which provides invaluable information to HR professionals working in the not-for-profit sector. Roger Parry and his team are extremely helpful, flexible in approach and a pleasure to work with.

Caroline Cannar, Head of Employee Relations, Rethink

I have found Roger to be a patient listener and a perceptive analyst. His approach has been supportive but also challenging. Agenda have helped us to review our organisational structure resulting in a stronger management function, and to clarify the relationship between the Board and Senior Management. Their input has been invaluable in shaping how we deliver on our mission.

Paul Chitnis, CEO, SCIAF

Working with Roger is an enjoyable experience. He combines a calm approach towards all staff with knowledge, sound debate and action. He always delivers and you get results.
