BP Methodology

We use a combination of our permanent staff and resources from our associate bench of over 600 change managers and subject matter experts (SMEs)

Unlike many consultancies, we are not solely reliant on our permanent staff, so our tailor-made selection of relevant, experienced resources from our bench means our clients receive the exact skill sets they require

Our bench is formed by resources with risk, support and infrastructure experience in:

  • Multiple functions, multiple asset classes
  • Change Management: Programme Managers, Project Managers, Business Analysts, Programme Management Officers (PMOs)
  • Business as usual (BAU) SMEs

The significant experience and expertise of our staff means that we require only minimal familiarisation with systems and processes, allowing us to move quickly, directing our effort from day one towards planning and delivery phases of projects or fulfilling our clients’ resourcing requirements

 

Three differentiators

Quality of Staff

  • Our 3 Directors and 2 Resourcing Managers have over 100 years of combined experience in Financial Services, which means we have an extensive network of industry contacts at all levels
  • In addition to our permanent resources, the associates on our bench consist of banking former colleagues, tried and tested staff from our previous assignments, managers that have left our clients for new challenges and personal referrals, so quality assurance is paramount
  • All our staff are available for interview and selection by our client, which is our preferred method of resourcing assignments

 

 

Staff Retention

  • We understand the importance of knowledge retention and continuity of service for our clients; the original team will stay in place for the length of the assignment
  • Our Resourcing Managers hold regular 1:1 meetings with all our staff out on assignment, both permanent and contract. The dialogue allows us to pre-empt any potential issues with projects and discuss them with our client

 

 

Staff Management

  • We hold regular meetings between our partners and the client to ensure our clients are satisfied with the performance and service being provided by our staff
  • We designate one point of contact for our client for all staffing issues
  • Speed – we conduct all pre-employment screening checks; consultants are onboarded within 2 weeks
