Consultancy services

BioLogiQ’s bespoke management system consultancy services are designed to assist you in meeting your obligations in the fields of environment, health and safety, laboratory, quality and energy management, social responsibility and sustainability. 

We are dedicated to helping you perfect your business. We know what excellence looks like and the areas you need to focus on to achieve it and can turn our real-world experience and knowledge into results that deliver business improvement and help drive sustainable growth. 

Your success is as important to our consultants as it is to you. They work with dedication and commitment in collaboration with your people to resolve your business challenges and deliver a real return on your investment.

 

Where have we worked?

We have worked with organisations of every size, from small SMEs to multinationals, both nationally and internationally. Aerospace, automotive, construction, energy, engineering, food and drink, forestry, ICT and telecoms, insurance services, medical devices, manufacturing, mining, retail, transport and logistics and various quality, research and test labs are the private sectors we have worked with. In the public sector, we have worked with government bodies, local authorities, second and third-level educational institutions.

 

How do  we  work?

Our consultancy services are designed to collaborate with you to identify your business needs, assist in implementation or improve the processes in your organisation. Typically the first step in any work is to carry out an audit or investigatory session to identify where you are at now. Based on this an action programme for implementation of your objectives can be developed – be it a new management system, integration of another management system element, ensuring regulatory compliance or identifying opportunities for improvement.

Scoping and analysis

We will work closely with you to define your goals and objectives and identify any barriers as well as opportunities. We have unparalleled knowledge of standards-based management systems and combine this with training expertise and business improvement applications, to create the right solution for your organisation. Our expert consultants work in collaboration with the relevant people in your organization, to outline roles and responsibilities for delivering objectives, and to define how success will be measured. Together you identify the resources needed to review your existing knowledge, processes, systems and tools, in line with your goals. Our consultants set clear achievable targets and develop a specific project programme by helping you to identify relevant people and utilise their input to ensure that key skills are transferred to your organisation. We also support you in communicating your intentions to internal and external stakeholders to make sure that you have everyone you need on board to ensure the success of your improvements and for continuing growth and development.

Implementation

We employ a versatile and action-focused approach to resolve your opportunities and always aim to deliver a real return on investment with minimum disruption to the day-to-day running of your organisation. Therefore, we believe that implementation of changes should be phased and flexible. Your decision-makers will choose the particular aspects of the programme they wish to fulfil but we are available to provide advice on or deliver the actions you believe would most benefit from our expertise.

Continuous improvement

Our consultants work closely with your team to help you embed the skills and processes required for your business and set you on the road to continuous improvement. Your consultant provides you with a comprehensive review of the project that has been implemented, and the resulting benefits to your organisation to demonstrate the return on your investment so far. We then help you establish a process for continuous improvement to generate sustainable business growth.

Decide what's best for you

We provide a flexible and transparent approach and costing with an overall aim to deliver change that provides a tangible return on investment whilst generating the minimum of disruption. Depending on your needs you can take your pick from any of the services listed below or if you prefer to go down a more independent road we can provide a consultant and tailored training to provide advisory support and coaching and mentoring for key personnel in your organisation.
