About Us

"Steve and the team from People Change Projects were excellent. I set them quite a challenge to develop a significant piece of work that could not fail. The stakes were high but they were fantastic in assessing our unique circumstances and the various challenges involved. People Change Projects understood our needs, provided a range of viable solutions and highlighted that we could meet our vision, both in terms of delivery but also the policing culture, the people capability/capacity challenges whilst balancing busy operational portfolios and other significant projects. Their pragmatic approach together with their “can do” attitude really inspired confidence and I can’t recommend them highly enough"

Superintendent Phil Healy, West Midlands Police

"Particularly impressed by the ability to manage multiple stakeholders and get people on board with ideas—even people who were initially of a completely different view point. This all ensuring a successful project implementation"

Ben Young, CAPITA Business Development Manager

"Multi million pound Home Office and ACPO programme relating to serious and organised crime- An enthusiastic, dedicated and highly professional service with a structured and methodical approach. This ensured the smooth running of the programme and helped the UK Government to improve the UK police capabilities in dealing with the criminal use of firearms. Steve was a real people person who could communicate very effectively across a wide range of stakeholders including senior police officers, multi agencies and community group representatives."

George MacDonald, Home Office, Police and Crime Standards Directorate (PCSD) Chief Inspector

“Steve Newman has exemplary programme management skills. He is great at building the team and understanding the core competencies of each individual and what they bring to the programme. I've witnessed his methodical planning and structured approach. Assigning each team member with tasks and checking in at key milestones to ensure progress to completion could be met. We worked together, where he demonstrated his people management skills and cultural awareness. Even when conducting stakeholder management during processes which would dramatically change the culture of the work place. He managed to navigate through the people issues and bring the people affected along the change journey. The projects that he managed achieved positive change delivery outcomes such as newly enhanced processes which were more time and resource efficient as well as resulting in cost saving benefits.”

“PCP added value to our programme by taking a genuine and personable approach, thereby getting optimal contributions from our teams; providing structure to the programme; proposing a range of different tools for us to use to map, structure, prioritise and communicate the programme elements to different audiences and stakeholders. “

Clare Shuttlewood, Mercia Group Commercial Director

“We engaged Steve and Sara at PCP to work with us as learning partners on a systems change programme- Ignite. They did this working alongside us in an inclusive way involving and engaging staff within Children’s Services, Housing and key partner organisations. “ 

“PCP were able to easily understand the goals and the complexity and demonstrated a high degree of skill in managing relationships in a way that really supported our work whilst bringing a fresh perspective to it.  They were reliable, professional and very easy to work with. I would be happy to use them again in the future. “
