Supporting and enabling leaders to transform their organisations

At The King’s Fund, we can help you navigate this complexity, providing insights, design interventions and performance improvements that can support you to make a meaningful difference to the health and care that your organisation delivers.

Why choose The King's Fund?
At The King’s Fund, our approach to organisational development focuses on building strong relationships within organisations and across systems. By strengthening these relationships, you increase your ability to tackle immediate challenges and achieve lasting results.
Unlike traditional consulting, our OD work starts with the belief that the people who face the challenges every day are the true experts in solving them. We work to uncover and address the complex, interlinking factors that may be holding you back.

Our OD principles
At The King’s Fund, our experience shows that OD is a powerful approach to unlocking your organisation’s potential, and we have identified the following principles as areas that underpin our practice:
Action and impact: OD must make a tangible difference to the lives of those served by the health and care system. We evaluate our work rigorously and adapt as needed to maximise impact.
Contextual understanding: Our work is deeply informed by our comprehensive understanding of the health and social care system, supported by high-quality research and policy analysis.
Equity, diversity, and inclusion: These values are at the heart of our OD work. We focus on helping people understand themselves and their relationships with others, celebrating diversity to work together more effectively.
Human flourishing and relationships: We aim to create environments where your teams can thrive. Through co-design and delivery, we provide spaces for meaningful conversation and collaboration.
Anti-racism commitment: We are dedicated to dismantling structures of oppression within the health and care system, ensuring our approach is actively anti-racist.
