A single page overview of The Knowledge Practice

1. Putting Knowledge into Practice,
when the going gets tough.
As a business you make your own success, but today’s leading
organisations understand the value of bringing the right external
experience to bear on key issues. In today’s economic climate it
can make the difference between success and failure.
In 2004 The Knowledge Practice (TKP) recognised a need for
businesses to be able to access the best available resources
more affordably and with flexibility. The experience we have of
meeting this need has never been more relevant than it is today.
Who we are
TKP consists of over 1,200 senior high caliber resources (ex-‘big-5’ directors, senior managers, partners and
consultants), each selected for their track record of delivering for their clients. Pragmatic, client and delivery
oriented people who not only know ‘what good looks like’ but have proved that they can make it a reality.
We aim to make top-tier resources available to our clients at close to agency rates and we have pioneered
new ways for clients to source them.
What we do
Having 1,200 senior, experienced, delivery-oriented people and no junior resources makes us one of the
largest high-quality management consultancies operating in today’s market. Critical-mass and the breadth
and depth of our collective experience enable us to take on large engagements and to offer individual interims
and consultants in most industry sectors and most aspects of performance improvement, change and IT.
Clients engage us in three main ways:
 Consultancy (teams or individuals) – we understand and fix your business problem
 High quality agency – we understand and fix your resource problem
 Virtual in-house consultancy – we deliver a ‘pool’ of selected individuals that match your resource
needs and that you can access directly, as and when required.
Clients can also search and select resources directly from our comprehensive online database.
How we do it
 We invite only proven, experienced, top-end independent resources to join us. Hence we do not
carry, or pass on, a cost of bringing junior people through a learning curve. Our clients interact with
people who understand their business and are only offered resources who have ‘done it before’.
 We have utilised the latest developments in management thinking and technology to create a low
cost operating framework and we reflect the saving in our fee rates.
 We also provide an environment in which clients can if they wish collaborate on-line with partner
organisations and consultants to tap into their experience and knowledge.
