The Transformation Project

New project management toolsets developed with the ESRC-funded Transformation Project helped Warwickshire Police launch new Automatic Number Plate Recognition schemes on time and budget — targeting vehicle-based criminality and providing vital evidence for a series of high profile cases, including murder, rape, wounding, major fraud, theft and armed robberies.

The collaboration led to the development of two easy-to-use project management toolsets, designed to change management practices in any type of organisation:

• The Receptivity for Change Toolset, which identifies areas within the organisation that are working well or can be improved
• The Actor Analysis Toolset, which examines social networks and relationships.

‘The TRANSFORMATION Project’s (www.thetransformationproject.co.uk) new and innovative management toolsets are described by our project team and practitioner partners, and then demonstrate impact through performance improvement.’
