Designing an ASHN restructure to radically change processes
A health science network based in the south of England was looking to improve its patient experience within the healthcare industry.
The service had a three-year contract with the NHS renewed however they wanted to deliver their products and projects better. Their business model was not sustainable, so Develop Consulting were called on initially to run a workshop and then deliver serious change.

- The reorganisation reduced the overspend of £650,000 per annum down to £0
- Small scape improvements, including day-to-day meetings and improving communication
