Working together for change
Restructuring, automation and AI have completely shifted how organisations design jobs and provide a skilled future workforce. Rather than making people redundant, they highlight the indispensable need for human attributes that technology cannot replace: relationship building, creativity, decision making, judgment, critical thinking, technical expertise and leadership. These are some of the capabilities that will define how we adapt to our changing organisations.
At Octa Associates, we offer two distinct services:
For Individuals navigating organisational change, we provide coaching and bespoke learning and development that will build your adaptability
For organisations competing in the B2B world, we embed human capital into the procurement cycle. We provide you with framework and oversight to assess, monitor and report people performance across your procurement and supply chain activities.
Under the Procurement Act 2023, social value, diversity, inclusion and sustainability carry a mandatory minimum weighting of 10% in public procurement, with some organisations demanding 30%. How you manage your people is now a decisive factor in winning contracts, with failure to demonstrate robust human capital credentials meaning being eliminated from the tendering process entirely.
People risk is now procurement risk.
Octa Associates exists to turn your workforce diversity and human capital into a commercial advantage. We bring the expertise that transformed the UK infrastructure sector directly to your organisation; designing inclusive procurement frameworks and the oversight required to monitor, report, and elevate your people performance.
