Cost effective
& sustainable solutions
Productive Partners specialise in providing senior expertise to optimise clinical capacity to a wide range of healthcare providers. We partner with your teams to implement rapid efficiencies and long-term sustainable solutions.
Traditional management consultancy in healthcare can often mean deploying large teams requiring larger budgets, which often don’t deliver the scale of improvement, nor the sustainability, to justify the investment.
Productive Partners only deploy small numbers of senior specialists to work in partnership with your teams. This ensures we jointly develop solutions to deliver high impact, sustainable outcomes in the most cost-effective way.
As a result, we can offer the best rates for senior productivity experts in the healthcare consultancy market.
Sustainable in
more ways than one
We are a semi-remote working company with a shared office premises. Having our team work mainly from client sites or home means reduced travel and no large offices to heat.
- Quality over quantity – by only deploying small teams of specialists to work in partnership with local client teams, we ensure we minimise total travel distance.
- We are a digital only organisation – we do not physically print any marketing materials or delivery documents to reduce paper wastage.
- We work remotely when possible. As a management consultancy firm, we recognise that there will always be a need to travel to our client sites to deliver maximum impact and results. However, where suitable we will always offer healthy challenge as to whether a meeting needs to be in person or can be done remotely, to minimise the need for travel not only for us but our clients. Reducing travel expenses also enables us to keep our rates low.
- We also offset our carbon footprint with Just One Tree by planting trees quarterly.
