PURPOSE

RCP is a consultancy that transforms innovation into growth and commercial success. Embedding our teams of experts into the working infrastructure of our clients businesses, we provide methods of business change, driving profits and identifying areas for performance enhancement.

Since our inception, our purpose is to help maximise performance through change.

We achieve this by discovering opportunities in existing operations and processes, including customer journey, operational and commercial process improvement, with a clear focus on reducing inefficient cost and maximising margin.

In order to attain our objective, transformation and change management is at the forefront of RCP’s methodology. We aim to positively change the psychology, behaviour and methologies of business, to define new paths to performance. RCP’s experts work with leadership and beyond, to ensure new practices are adopted at all levels in order to create greater outcomes for shareholders and stakeholders alike.

TRANSFORMATION

TRANSFORMATION AS A SERVICE:

Within the legal setting, RCP is leading the way in delivering value through Transformation as a Service.

This Transformation is empowered by an intelligence and data-driven approach, connecting and concentrating around the customer journey which is both technically and innovation led, in a technology and human application. Business data and analytics has become so democratic, it’s value lost, that it impacts business decision making capabilities.

The route to long term value creation is derived from strategy, operational and customer journey enhancement, combined with product innovation. Agility and a coordinated approach across the operational and commercial process is essential to success.

PSYCHOLOGY AS A SERVICE:

RCP creates an environment for success by cultivating high performing human capital.

By leveraging improved social and organisational connections, within conventional, remote or hybrid work settings, we can fuel success. The value of this is greater than merely retaining, hiring or motivating the right people, even when provided with the right tools. Implementing Psychology as a Service, produces performance enhancing outcomes from human capital.

ABOUT US:

RCP is formed of members that have significant and proven experience, from within the legal sector, finance, technology and business consultancy.

All our business leaders have been carefully selected based upon the proven individual contribution they have made in their respective expert fields, to create a unique and valuable collective solution.
