SPRING 2011

Our Spring 2011 newsletter reported on our 2010 client event at the HQ of the Magic Circle and featured three recent projects that illustrate the breadth of work we are involved in:

  • Developing a traffic flow simulator and virtual reality model of the UK's first managed motorway scheme (the M42) for the Highways Agency and DfT
  • Researching how local authorities are working with partners to improve health and social care services for elderly people on behalf of the DWP
  • Conducting independent quality reviews of value for money reports produced by the National Audit Office.

WINTER 2009

In our 2009 newsletter we reported on our move to new offices in Russell Square and reported on three very different projects:

  • Performing an interim value for money review of Irish Rail's 15 year Railway Safety Programme
  • Helping to develop a risk-based Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for the Highways Agency
  • Producing guidance on how to understand and communicate public risks based on the experiences of the Risk and Regulatory Advisory Council.

  • Investigating the relationship between traffic growth and measures to improve flows on journey time reliability for the Highways Agency
  • Scoping two projects to investigate options under the Office for Disability Issues' Independent Living Strategy.

If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try - you don't take the risk.
