Government departments and agencies
What we do
We use our digital, data, technology and cyber security insight to effect positive change for government departments and their agencies.
Who we've worked with
Jisc - twelve years of strategic engagement and project work. Our work has included sector strategy development and creation, two directorate organisational redesign initiatives, portfolio reviews and roadmapping, strategic reviews, evaluation and impact analysis of further education and higher education related programmes and published reports.

Government Digital Services - we led a strategic review of a digital, data, technology and cyber security skills and leadership programme working with over ten government departments and the CIO community.
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government - we worked as part of an Arup led consortium to provide economic development and skills advice and guidance for the one hundred and one towns participating in the £3.6 billion Towns Fund programme.
Department for Education - we led a programme to assist transition towards a new digital, data and technology delivery model.
Parliamentary Digital Service (PDS) - we led a Doteveryone and PDS project with MPs to research and improve their use of digital, data and technology.

Featured work for Jisc
Cyber impact
In 2020 Jisc co-published, with Hadfield Consultants, a report investigating the impact of cyber security incidents on the UK's further and higher education and research sectors. The report included recommendations and presents a framework to consider impact from a recovery, direct and strategic perspective.
Value studies
We have designed and delivered fourteen independent value studies with six universities and eight colleges. They have highlighted how Jisc saves providers money and time, and delivers benefits for students and researchers. Methods were co-developed with participating organisations. We have presented our findings to UK governments and other stakeholders.

Testimonials
JEN BYRNE
CEO FutureGov
(now TPX Impact)
Richard was a critical member of the team at FutureGov, working with Arup and the participating Towns Fund towns. His expert knowledge in skills and economic development meant he could provide guidance and support to town projects worth hundreds of millions of pounds. Richard could always be trusted to deliver. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend working with Richard.
LIAM EARNEY
Managing director HE and research, and executive director of digital resources, Jisc
HC Ltd have been working with us at Jisc for years. Highly trusted and respected to help set our direction, evaluate our impact and recommend better ways for us to serve the UK's universities and colleges. Their work has been appreciated by UK funders as well as colleagues from across Jisc...working with Hadfield Consultants is immersive, iterative and the opposite of 'off the shelf' consultancy. This means their advice and guidance sticks and enables strategic and positive change.
