International experience

One-third of Silver Pebble's work is outside the UK. 

This page includes some case studies illustrating our work.

SERVICOM is a consultancy unit inside the Nigerian Government which is tasked with improving the service provided to the public from all government agencies.

The central SERVICOM team needed to learn the skills needed to be effective internal consultants.  Working on a DfID-funded project between 2007 and 2009, Silver Pebble designed and delivered a programme of training and coaching for 50 team members, based in the federal capital Abuja.

Following a syllabus published by the UK Chartered Management Institute, the participants were able to gain a portable qualification during their programme of learning, thereby enhancing their credibility and recognising their professionalism.

Atos Origin is an international information technology services company, employing over 50,000 people in 40 countries, and is the Worldwide Information Technology Partner for the Olympic Games.  Atos Origin has been located in the Greater China region for over 10 years and currently employs 1,000 people in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

A dedicated consultancy team was established in Beijing in 2007 in response to the growth in demand for management consultancy in the region.  Initially staffed by European ex-pats, the team has grown rapidly through the recruitment of Chinese nationals.

The team needed a training programme to bring the Chinese consultants up to the standard of their European counterparts.  Silver Pebble designed and delivered a series of intensive residential training courses in China to achieve this objective.
