Op2i

op2i

We support our clients in developing, structuring and executing business programmes that help transform their operations by making the right strategy, supplier and technology decisions through the provision of strategic insight and the implementation of strategic governance that enhances their competitive advantage through the delivery of auditable board-sponsored or C-level led strategic initiatives. We don't claim to know more about your business than you do but we do think differently. We challenge assumptions and bring fresh ideas to the table, backed up by rigorous research, analysis, tools and systems. Go To Section: Our Services Our Specialisation Our Expertise Our Governance Services Platform Our Services: Op2i provides a range of services that includes consultancy, facilitation and interim management services and the provision of tools and systems that help organisations develop and implement business transformation programmes. We also work with service providers to transform their business, helping develop new revenue streams and enter new markets. Our services help management and board directors focus on the matters of greatest importance to the business, promoting more informed and strategic debate in the boardroom and allowing the business to benefit fully from the skills, wisdom and experience that resides within their organisations. We help our clients through: Mentoring, advising and supporting boards and individuals responsible for championing business transformation, including strategic outsourcing of their business functions or processes. Facilitating, resolving and mitigating issues and disputes that inevitably arise between in major change programmes and in particular outsourcing. The development or refinement of integrated governance programmes to extend the span of management oversight, control and insight across the organisation and across boundaries of sourcing “partners” operations. Providing the systems and tools required for the development of a joint governance system and the development of trust between the parties. [Top] Our Specialisation We help organisations transition and transform their business through better strategic governance and through global strategic sourcing. By transitioning we mean managing the move between current approaches to business and a desired future state of business (including: people, processes, technology, markets, products, finance) whilst embracing new opportunities, tools and talent on a global basis. By transforming we mean adapting business models, structures and value chains to compete and seek new opportunities afforded by convergence (changes in economic, regulatory, competitive, geographic, customer or technology conditions). By strategic governance we mean an organisation-wide framework that leads to good management, good performance, good stewardship of shareholder or public funds, good stakeholder engagement and, ultimately, good business performance and outcomes for customers and citizens. Strategic governance enables an organisation to pursue its vision effectively as well as underpinning that vision with mechanisms for control, oversight, accountability and management of risk and compliance. By Global strategic sourcing we mean the wide range of sourcing activity involving: external sourcing (outsourcing), whether onshore, nearshore, offshore, shared services or multi-sourcing; or internal sourcing activity including contracting in, transfering in and delegation (insourcing), in a globally distributed organisational context. [Top] Our Expertise We provide thought leadership and professional management services associated with business transformation, sourcing strategies and technology driven change. We have experienced strategic business advisors and process consultants with deep consulting, operational and business experience within global strategic sourcing, business transformation, ICT and strategic governance. Our consultants have worked with a number of international clients with over four decades of experience.

Our breadth and depth of knowledge provides a strong combination of business, commercial and programme governance skills to help ensure organisations achieve optimal effectiveness and efficiency. Op2i's deep industry knowledge combined with strong quantitative analysis and leading-edge right practice thinking together with proprietary tools and systems facilitates the identification of opportunities for business improvement, and the assessment of possibilities for externally sourcing processes and/or functions as a value creation initiative. Where appropriate we utilise external sourcing as a means of business transformation, to bring about large and sustained business improvement: reducing costs, accessing relevant skills, improving efficiency and enabling organisations to concentrate on what is core to their business. We focus on the right practice for your business rather than the best practice in your industry, as the right practice is the best practice for you. We anticipate and take advantage of the wealth of opportunity now available to our clients through better strategic governance, business transformation and global strategic sourcing, by working with them to reinvent their businesses with practical, well-conceived and flexible business strategies implemented with robust strategic governance processes and systems. Op2i has several lateral partnerships that, together, offer a broad set of services across various functions of a company. Harnessing our relationships, extensive industry knowledge, strategic expertise, implementation and commercial skills, we accelerate growth and shareholder value for our clients.

Sprawling Buds ICSE School (Best School In Jammu)

sprawling buds icse school (best school in jammu)

We are delighted to have this opportunity to introduce SPRAWLING BUDS ICSE SCHOOL, THE FIRST CISCE AFFILIATED SCHOOL in J&K, to you and thank you for expressing an interest in our school. We believe we provide a very special environment in which both our pupils and staff grow and develop, and I hope what you see here will convey a small sense of what we have to offer. Our purpose is simple: We want to develop confident, articulate young men and women, who are interesting, balanced and independent people who care for each other. Our school provides an outstanding learning experience, but we are so much more than just our examination results. Although we do pride ourselves on our academic success, the outcome of a school should never be measured only in statistical summaries, but rather it is the journey, as well as the destination of our pupils, that is key to our success. This means we focus on every aspect of the development of our young people – their cultural, physical, moral and social development. We recognise the importance of developing a strong sense of belonging and believe in educating the whole person and teaching traditional values. This is reflected in our diverse and full extra-curricular programme and we expect our pupils to embrace the opportunities offered to them. By encouraging pupils to take part in the wide variety of activities available, we can nurture their leadership qualities, promote high moral values and encourage excellent communication skills. We want our pupils to be simultaneously competitive, co-operative and caring, as this will ultimately prepare them for life. At Sprawling Buds we have high standards, and we expect the same of our pupils; we want them to be ambitious for their own development, and apply themselves to their studies with intellectual curiosity and academic endeavour. The celebration of success is important to us and we take every opportunity to commend our pupils for their achievements, whether they be at house, school, regional or national level. Our pupils are an inspiration to others around them. Education is a lifelong journey, and we have the privilege of being able to prepare young men and women for the next part of that journey. If you share our values and aims and are interested in learning more about Sprawling Buds, then we invite you to pay us a visit, meet some of our inspirational pupils and spend some time with us in school.

Start Oxford Education Services

London

Start Oxford team has over 10 years of experience in working with families from all over the world to help them access the best educational opportunities for children and young adults. Coming to study in Oxford is a life-changing opportunity, but it might be difficult to decide on the right course or school and organise your time here to reach the most of your potential. With our knowledge of the city and its schools and universities, we will help our clients reach their goals. World-class teaching Oxford has around 50 independent schools and two Universities. The University of Oxford is one of the oldest, most beautiful and most acclaimed universities in the world. Oxford Brookes is a leading modern university that has nearly 3,000 international students from more than 140 different countries. Together they create a culture of learning and attract world-class academic staff into the city. Whether our students enrol on a short intensive course or in an independent boarding school for an academic year, they will be surrounded by highly intelligent and motivated people from all over the world, and can make connections and friendships which will stay with them for life. Experience the city At 150,000 inhabitants, Oxford is big enough to be a bustling hub with a social life, but equally small enough to be compact, calm, and safe place. It is very well connected to London – with one-hour train ride and coaches leaving for central London every 20 mins - meaning that the capital is never too far from reach. Above all, Oxford is a historic and architectural gem, with a gorgeous town centre filled with Gothic spires, Baroque porticoes, and Georgian courtyards. The city sits on the banks of the River Thames and boasts a variety of world-famous museums, galleries and libraries. Living and studying in this city is a truly unique experience. Gain a peace of mind At Start Oxford, we focus on bespoke, individual approach to every client. We take time to understand their needs and aspirations, and we make sure families gain peace of mind by having a trustworthy and approachable partner. We personally visit schools and talk to teachers, vet accommodation options and arrange for any extra-curricular and social activities for our clients. Our relationship does not end when a student arrives in Oxford – we will be on hand to support our clients during their studies and stay in touch with their families.

Bristol Art For All

bristol art for all

Bristol

My name is Amy Powell and I am a catalyst for reconnecting people with their innate creativity. At Bristol Art For All we facilitate friendly, inclusive learning environments where people can explore their creativity. We started in 2015 running an open access drop in face-to-face community art class in Easton in Bristol. From December 2019 to March 2020 sessions moved to Hamilton House in Stokes Croft Bristol and since April 2020 have been online. Online sessions are run in partnership with local charities as well as sessions open to all adults. Current partners include Age UK and St Mungo’s Recovery College. All online sessions are around a theme selected by the participants, who use the art materials and skills they already have to devise their own projects. Support is on hand to give input on what is made. The sessions act as an online art studio with time for making and opportunities to share and get feedback on artwork. Participants are seen as artists first with the acceptance that we are all on our own life journeys. The focus is on creating learning environments where people enjoy the process of making. With this strong foundation people can have the confidence and resilience to develop further skills. This website gives a taste of the work made over the course of Bristol Art For All. Myself and Rosa Hewitt began Bristol Art For All in 2015. In 2017 Rosa went to the University of Hertfordshire to study Art Therapy. She now works in London as an art therapist with children. I continued with the project in Bristol with the support of volunteers, building my knowledge, experience and skills by studying courses in teaching, facilitation, communication and social enterprise. As well as volunteering with Arts and Health organisations including Studio Upstairs, Bristol Art on Prescription, Workers Education Association (WEA), Milestones Expressions programme and St Mungos Recovery College where I currently run their online art class. I love being a catalyst for people to reconnect with their creativity. It is a great privilege to have worked with over 200 people across Bristol and beyond. Some have attended for years others for one session but all have been welcome and encouraged in their art making. I am currently in the process of making Bristol Art For All into an online art school to reach people who would otherwise struggle to access mainstream arts education. I am interested to connect with organisations, which work with clients who would benefit from exploring and developing their creativity with the support of being in a group.

Sarah Goss Traditional Woodcarving

sarah goss traditional woodcarving

Radstock

Sarah specialises in providing bespoke hand carved items ranging from lettering and relief decoration to producing architectural details such as corbel brackets and ceiling roses. By adding hand carved decoration, items that are otherwise plain and ordinary are transformed into unique pieces that are personal to the owner. This applies just as much to everyday objects such as chopping boards as to more elaborate ornamental features to decorate the home. Wood carving is incredibly versatile and Sarah can either work from existing designs you may have seen or create a completely new piece for you. As well as producing the initial carved work Sarah can offer a variety of finishes including oil and water gilding using genuine Gold and Silver leaf. Sarah's interest in traditional crafts began whilst studying for A Levels in Art & History of Art at the Royal Latin School, Buckinghamshire. Through understanding how the country's great buildings were built and furnished, along with the reasoning behind their design, she developed an even greater respect for their creators and understood why it is important to maintain these buildings for future generations. From Buckingham she moved to Portsmouth to study a degree in Restoration and Decorative Studies at Portsmouth University. Within her first year she had grasped the basics in a variety of traditional decorative techniques including faux finishing, gilding and scagliola. In her final two years she decided to focus her studies on woodcarving and plasterwork- both in a restorative sense and in creating new designs using traditional materials and methods. During her time at University she was provided with the opportunity to hone her skills in both woodcarving and plasterwork. Her projects included 3-coat lime plastering, using the lime plaster she'd made from scratch using traditional recipes. She researched the historic and almost extinct technique of freehand stucco work, creating her own designs and experimenting with various recipes, including those that were used in the restoration of Uppark in Hampshire. Thankfully all that hard work paid off and she graduated with a 1st Class Honours. Sadly, her year was the last to complete this course as the University decided to end it in back in 2008. From Hampshire she was on the move again, this time to Shropshire where she began work with a heritage company. Here she built upon her project managing skills and learnt more about the structural side of building restoration, particularly timber framed buildings. Whilst she enjoyed her time in Shropshire, she decided that she was much happier in her workshop among the sawdust and plaster, which leads her to her current home back in West Sussex.

We are a global team of 1,300 colleagues working across 15 countries in Europe, North America and Asia, and have a 30-year track record of providing leadership and sharing insight. By focusing on innovation, finance, operations and people we are proven to deliver a return on investment: R&D and Innovation New thinking, research and development is fundamental to staying competitive and keeping control of your business environment, but funding and tax in this field is complex and often under-exploited, as is the importance of company-wide engagement. We support some 15,000 R&D and innovation projects worldwide each year, generating €1bn in funding for our clients. Tax and Finance Controlling your growth costs is essential to develop your company over the long term and ensure its sustainability. You must guarantee the profitability of your investments, focus on growth-generating projects and allow them to be financed by equity or external financing. One lever to ensure recurring results is to identify and evaluate tax reductions by applying the current applicable law. We’re proud to have a 95% client retention rate. People By finding new ways to engage and motivate employees, we help companies reach their potential. Effort, risk, knowledge, morale, decision-making: every individual is a world of possibility. We’ve trained over 50,000 people, and we provide around €300m in HR savings annually for our clients. We base our work on a deep understanding of need and context: every business is unique, each situation is different, “off-the-shelf” is rarely sustainable. We deliver real results by executing and implementing projects alongside our clients, on the ground, and seeing them through until they make a genuine impact. Our work is carried out based on sharing highly specialised knowledge: we employ leaders in the fields of engineering, data science, tax, physics, chemistry, medicine and more – people who are able to talk to your experts on a peer-to-peer basis.

Teridona School of Dance

teridona school of dance

Est. 1968About In 1968, Terry Farrington had a decision to make. As a flight attendant for Delta Airlines, she was told she was going to have to relocate away from Birmingham. Donna Jones was active in her daughter Paula’s dance studio and good friends with its owner. Terry’s mother convinced the girls into opening a studio and they chose the then eight year old city of Hueytown for the location. Terry had a strong background in dance and theater, while Donna had a strong background in music and voice. With the help of the Baumann family, they opened TeriDona School of Dance in a small building by Baumann Coatings. It soon moved to a location in Caffey Junction then to its current location in Hueytown, Alabama, which was purchased from the Vernon family. For over 50 years, thousands of students have walked through the studio doors. Many went on to use the training they got from TeriDona in performance-related fields, while others simply reminisce on the skills that would help them throughout their lives. One of the original TeriDona dance moms was none other than Jane Roton, whose daughters Paige and Peyton were among the first students. In 1971, Renee Lamar walked through those doors for the first time. Her mom had taken her to another studio for her first year of dance, but she attended a TeriDona Recital and made the decision to move her to that studio. Donna was Renee’s teacher and she immediately was drawn to her. Renee worked as hard as she could for Donna. Renee eventually worked her way into the more advanced classes taught by Terry and solos taught by Paula. The focus was always on the performance and knowing your audience. Being classy and entertaining. Working hard and having fun while doing it. Heather Goolsby showed up in 1997. A transfer from another studio, she was a handful. But she was spunky and funny and actually had talent. She worked her way up from a student teacher to an assistant and then a teacher. Renee and Heather knew they had some large shoes to fill when they took over in 2013. Living up to such a huge legacy has been challenging but one they never lost sight of. Every decision they make takes into consideration what Mrs. Terry and Mrs. Donna would think about it. Today, TeriDona School of Dance rehearses in Hueytown, AL and travels the world to perform in competitions, parades, and performances to showcase the talent of every dancer that steps into the studio.
