Government

The role of government, both within central departments and in the important advisory, regulatory and operational organisations which ensure the effective delivery of public policy and services, is critical to everyone's lives. Individual and corporate taxpayers expect not only to see value for money and professionalism: they also demand a level of accountability that places a premium on decisive, successful leadership.

Moreover, that leadership is often exercised very much in the public eye, placing further responsibility on those charged with running these organisations. This is as true in the regions and devolved administrations as it is in Whitehall and Westminster.

At Norman Broadbent we have found outstanding leaders for the public sector in recent years, with assignments ranging from Permanent Secretary through to Chief Executives and Non-executive Directors. In a number of cases, we have worked with senior officials to build the senior teams of new organisations, taking a partnership approach that considers the collective strengths of an entire leadership team. Our broad expertise in executive search as well as assessment, HR consultancy and interim management services, has helped us to pinpoint the characteristics needed to succeed in this increasingly complex environment. Our ability to consider and bring across candidates from the private sector is a particular strength.

Our aim is always to work closely with our clients to find flexible, highly-experienced modern thinkers - executives with the rare capacity to handle organisations of substantial scale and influence.
