We challenge assumptions and bring fresh ideas to the table, backed up by rigorous research, analysis, tools and systems. Go To Section: Our Services Our Specialisation Our Expertise Our Governance Services Platform Our Services: Op2i provides a range of services that includes consultancy, facilitation and interim management services and the provision of tools and systems that help organisations develop and implement business transformation programmes. We also work with service providers to transform their business, helping develop new revenue streams and enter new markets. Our services help management and board directors focus on the matters of greatest importance to the business, promoting more informed and strategic debate in the boardroom and allowing the business to benefit fully from the skills, wisdom and experience that resides within their organisations. We help our clients through: Mentoring, advising and supporting boards and individuals responsible for championing business transformation, including strategic outsourcing of their business functions or processes. Facilitating, resolving and mitigating issues and disputes that inevitably arise between in major change programmes and in particular outsourcing. The development or refinement of integrated governance programmes to extend the span of management oversight, control and insight across the organisation and across boundaries of sourcing “partners” operations. Providing the systems and tools required for the development of a joint governance system and the development of trust between the parties. [Top] Our Specialisation We help organisations transition and transform their business through better strategic governance and through global strategic sourcing. By transitioning we mean managing the move between current approaches to business and a desired future state of business (including: people, processes, technology, markets, products, finance) whilst embracing new opportunities, tools and talent on a global basis. By transforming we mean adapting business models, structures and value chains to compete and seek new opportunities afforded by convergence (changes in economic, regulatory, competitive, geographic, customer or technology conditions). By strategic governance we mean an organisation-wide framework that leads to good management, good performance, good stewardship of shareholder or public funds, good stakeholder engagement and, ultimately, good business performance and outcomes for customers and citizens. Strategic governance enables an organisation to pursue its vision effectively as well as underpinning that vision with mechanisms for control, oversight, accountability and management of risk and compliance. By Global strategic sourcing we mean the wide range of sourcing activity involving: external sourcing (outsourcing), whether onshore, nearshore, offshore, shared services or multi-sourcing; or internal sourcing activity including contracting in, transfering in and delegation (insourcing), in a globally distributed organisational context. [Top] Our Expertise We provide thought leadership and professional management services associated with business transformation, sourcing strategies and technology driven change.

Op2i's deep industry knowledge combined with strong quantitative analysis and leading-edge right practice thinking together with proprietary tools and systems facilitates the identification of opportunities for business improvement, and the assessment of possibilities for externally sourcing processes and/or functions as a value creation initiative. Where appropriate we utilise external sourcing as a means of business transformation, to bring about large and sustained business improvement: reducing costs, accessing relevant skills, improving efficiency and enabling organisations to concentrate on what is core to their business. We focus on the right practice for your business rather than the best practice in your industry, as the right practice is the best practice for you.

Actus the company was founded by Lucinda Carney, a Chartered Psychologist and former Head of Learning & Development at Siemens and at Pfizer before that. After years of experiencing first-hand the challenges of making Performance Management meaningful, she decided to set up Actus (then Advance Change) offering software that would overcome these challenges, supported by training and organisational development services to provide a comprehensive solution for culture change. Our ethos Since its inception, Actus has been one of the pioneers of performance management software in the UK. Our ultimate goal is to help build a better workplace for people and this goes beyond offering simple appraisal software. We are a small yet mighty (and very friendly!) team based in Redbourn, Hertfordshire and our software and services are highly comprehensive. We believe that to embed lasting, positive change, an organisation needs more than a very simple ‘off the shelf’ software that acts as a ‘tick box’ exercise. They need a system that will evolve with their needs as they grow and one that can be supported with the right training and consultancy options should they require them. What we offer Our Performance, Learning and Talent Suite is aimed at managing all your performance management needs in one place. That means one system and one source of truth. The beauty of Actus is that it eradicates the need for multiple complex HR systems, allowing the system to evolve with your organisations needs. To support you on your journey, we also offer a range of training and consultancy services to embed best practice. These include open and in-house training programmes to support remote/hybrid working and change initiatives, bespoke consultancy services, and a wide-range of free value-add thought leadership resources to support you on your journey.

We are passionate about helping people to build a better workplace, which is why we offer aligned training and consultancy services to support positive culture change in any organisation.
