Sector Expertise

Central Government Experts

Leaders in Government see a lot of activity in their teams but can struggle to see clear outcomes. Herd’s consultants are senior experts who can make decisions in ambiguous conditions, unblocking delivery and achieving the outcomes you need.

We have an exceptional range of leaders from Digital teams across the Civil Service including Heads of Profession and Lead GDS Service Standard Assessors.

- - Expert in Digital Spend Control, Service Standard and Service Manual, and Technology Code of Practice
  - Extensive experience working on digital products and services within the public sector
  - All the team are BPSS vetted, many of whom also have SC and NPPV3 clearance
  - DDaT / GDD capability framework compatible
  - Easily available via GCloud 14, DOS7, and many other public-sector complaint procurement routes.

Adaptive
approach

We don’t believe there is a single way of working and do not use a single methodology. Our team has contributed to, passed, and assessed against the GDS Service Standard – and whilst huge advocates for it, we recognise that it can be used poorly and dogmatically.

Our consultants are all senior specialists who use their expertise to take a pragmatic approach to getting things done. Expert technical skills are the price of admission but what really makes us successful are the soft skills needed to be successful in complicated situations.
