Launched in 2001, Morgan James Consulting (Morgan James) was founded with the intention of creating highly effective leaders and managers who can build successful businesses and develop their best assets – the people that work with them and for them. We find out more from the company’s Founder as it celebrates success in the UK Enterprise Awards. Best Leadership Consultancy Firm 2024 - Northern England Morgan James Consulting delivers a range of bespoke programmes, following a detailed analysis of each client’s business. From behavioural profiling to evaluating leadership and team dynamics, alongside defining a company’s vision and values to drive cultural change, the consultancy uses a range of tools to create tailored programmes with clear and unambiguous objectives. The consultancy also offers a range of open programmes to enable smaller businesses to upskill their leaders through face-to-face or online modular courses including Step into Management; 21st Century Strategic Leaders; Authentic Women Leaders; and Radical Wellbeing. These programmes are delivered by the team of 16 business associates, all of whom are experts in their field and have real world experience of what it takes to build an exceptional business. “We pride ourselves on delivering highly interactive, practical, and values led programmes, always with a focus on transferring the learning back to the workplace, helping our clients to build competency in their workforce and drive measurable improvements,” explains Lily Newman, the business’ Founder and Behavioural Strategist. “We embed original and classic academic business models and theories into our innovative business simulations to create ‘stickiness’ when it comes to embedding the learning.” Morgan James has also designed and delivered a range of programmes and workshops for UK universities, including Leeds University Business School, Liverpool University, and The Centre for Enterprise at Manchester Metropolitan University. To date, it has worked with over 3,500 businesses, including global and national brands and high growth SMEs. Its clients have included Roche, World Food Programme, BMW, Novartis, Urban Bubble, Savills, Goldman Sachs, Cancer Research Campaign, Civic Engineers, Citizen’s Advice Bureau, Assura PLC, Far Eastern Consortium, Hilltop Finance, and Mastercall Healthcare, amongst many others. One of the crucial elements to running a consultancy, Lily tells us, is ensuring that you are not creating client dependency. Her job as a consultant and a servant leader is to ensure that every client is able to build the mastery and capability to no longer need her. Another crucial element of running a consultancy is that every decision made and every process built at Morgan James Consulting is founded on its core values of honesty and integrity, passion for giving the best and being the best, supporting and challenging clients, providing the tools for lasting change, and having fun in everything done! “Most of the associate team have held leadership roles in multi-nationals or national high growth companies and are therefore able to draw upon personal experience rather than just share theoretical leadership models,” Lily elaborates. “Between us, we have over 250 years’ worth of business and people transformation experience but if we don’t have the expertise needed to address specific business issues that our clients have, we usually know a specialist in the appropriate field. “We are exceptional ‘connectors’ and continually challenge ourselves to ensure that we are “surprising and delighting” our clients by introducing specialists and creating opportunities for clients to come together, network and learn.” Having been told by many clients that it is almost impossible to find a single leadership consultancy quite like Morgan James that can address such a wide range of needs, the company prides itself on exceptional customer service and delivering high quality and engaging programmes. However, every client can also be assured that their investment in their own development also enables Morgan James to fund the training and development of Uganda’s most vulnerable young mothers through Act4Africa, a charity that Lily helped to set up 24 years ago and which transforms Ugandan communities through care and holistic education, giving vulnerable girls a better future. Lily currently coaches the charity’s leadership team and works with them to develop their strategic capability and operational efficiency. During her annual visits to Uganda she also works in the kindergarten and delivers training and support to the teenage mums that have enrolled onto the charity’s Strong Mothers Programme. The fundraising done by Morgan James enables the charity to provide HIV prevention education, stigma reduction and HIV testing and counselling to over 1.6 million young people. During this time, it has also helped over 10,000 vulnerable girls and women to access training to help them to build a better future for themselves and their families and become financially independent. Recently, for its stellar work ethics and steadfast commitment to clients, as well as its charity endeavours, Morgan James gained notable recognition in the UK Enterprise Awards and was bestowed with the prestigious accolade of Best Leadership Consultancy Firm 2024 - Northern England. Looking to the future, Lily and the team are currently developing their 21st Century Leaders Programme which will launch in 2024/2025. The consultancy has also just completed the pilot of a communications programme for World Food Programme, in partnership with Ludic, and it is it is expanding the team, continuing to grow and develop unique programmes and executive coaching offering.
