As society becomes more complex, citizens turn increasingly to government to maintain and enhance their environment, so individuals and businesses can thrive.

Pressures on the public purse have increased leadership challenges, with resources typically over-stretched in different local economies. Through Boyden’s work in the private sector, we understand conflicting priorities – in building and construction, transport, education and healthcare, and in setting public policy to balance differing needs.

We find strategic leaders to deliver positive change, such as public-private partnerships, shared service centres and new approaches to procurement.

We work with our functional colleagues to enhance internal expertise, such as human capital leadership and finance capabilities.

We work at every level – with municipalities, regional or state, provincial and national governments. We also advise inter-government organisations, including those affiliated with the United Nations and the World Bank.
