''Actalpha played a leading role in delivering a significant and difficult change programme across a number of dimensions including complex processes, contract governance, management information, accelerated recruitment, and project and programme management.
Actalpha staff were key in transforming a significant customer-supplier relationship and in helping us achieve contract extension on a major outsourced business process contract."

"By all accounts the day was a huge success. The SoulTimers loved your teaching, as well as the gentle and clear way in which you delivered it. I'm sure that all the SoulTimers are more self-aware as a result of the day, and thus are more challenged to develop their weaker areas to become more effective in life and ministry"
Chuck Freeland, Course Leader for the Soul-Time Programme run by Soul Survivor, Watford

“I found it incredibly interesting but also enormously helpful, both from a personal viewpoint and to help me understand why I find certain frustrations when working with others - due to both my personality and theirs…..Thanks again.  I feel a lot more able to cope with what I had previously seen as the major frustrations of the job.  I can understand why I react in the way I do and, hopefully, will be able to see what should be done, instead.”
Kim Bolsover, Post Office Project Manager, on a team personality-type workshop

“Mike Cashman’s help in enabling us to map our school culture has been invaluable.....I would say that it’s definitely been some of our most important and worthwhile staff and governor training – a huge influence for change and improvement.”
