As the role of funding agencies develops, there is an increasing need to have confidence and assurance that your data is accurate and fit to support effective decision-making. KPMG can provide a range of support to assess data quality, perform operational reviews and provide necessary training and knowledge transfer.

 

The growing number of providers delivering government-funded learning has fuelled existing providers to meet the challenge of changing delivery, consider alternative revenue sources and look at new ways to remain commercially viable. KPMG can undertake strategic reviews which both consider the impact of changes to Apprenticeship delivery and examine your existing staffing and processes.

 

In an increasingly challenging operating environment, many providers are considering which actions will determine the best strategic options for future growth and sustainability.  KPMG has an experienced M&A team who can perform the necessary due diligence, devise bespoke merger and acquisition strategies and provide clarity around options at the earliest possible stage.

 

Recent spending cuts announced by the Government have compounded the overall challenging economic environment.  Many providers are keen to identify efficiency savings and operational changes that can be made quickly, but sustainably. KPMG's highly specialised team of cost reduction specialists can provide a suite of services to help tighten your financial grip, ranging from identification of unnecessary cost, through to implementation and review.

 

Providers need to respond to a changing market sector and embrace new ways of working and identify opportunities to grow. KPMG's team of change management specialists can deliver bespoke training workshops and holistic services to help ensure staff have the necessary skills to support both individual and provider aspirations.

 

KPMG is offering a no obligation, one-day diagnostic and scoping workshop to help identify where you can maximise your success. Are you ready to take the 10k challenge?

 

Colleges are complex organisations which are constantly evolving to accommodate changing priorities. Yet, in a challenging operating environment, what should those strategic priorities be? KPMG has developed ACE, a 4-week diagnostic programme to identify significant cost and operational efficiencies that can be delivered in an achievable timescale.
