Who we are
Founded in 2005, Novadays, faithful to its principles and values as a consulting firm specialized in public management and public policy, firmly believes that proper public management and the correct design and implementation of public policies is essential to achieve positive and lasting results, effects and impacts for the benefit of society.
At Novadays, we make these changes possible through the creation of innovative methodologies, products and services with public value that allow us, in turn, to be the architects in transferring best practices between countries and sectors.
We drive the necessary changes to improve society through knowledge and innovation.
Our profession allows us to be continuously present where major projects are being developed, to create or acquire cutting-edge knowledge at the moment it is being produced, to mobilize the collective knowledge of complex and multidisciplinary teams in a flexible manner and, in short, to put our experience and knowledge accumulated in previous experiences at the service of the public sector.
Consulting, in the form of different forms of advice or assistance, allows us to work in various sectors of public policy and for a wide range of governments at different levels (national, regional and local) and countries.
Since 2005, we have worked proactively in close proximity to our clients and with a true public service vocation, where trust and reliability in what we do have been key to successfully manage more than 400 public and public-private projects to date.
What is public sector consulting?
Public sector consulting firms are professional services firms that advise governments and public entities in the design of their actions (public policies) and their execution (public management).
Within public sector consulting there is a wide diversity: Strategy, ICT, Human Resources, etc.
Novadays is a highly specialized public sector consulting company. We study, design, implement and evaluate projects and actions that can improve society; whether they are promoted by the public sector or arise from the private sector but must be developed in collaboration with the public sector.
What do public sector consulting firms do?
Public sector consulting firms provide high-value professional services, always adapting to the specific needs of each client and each project in the public policy cycle. Specifically,
- We conduct economic, social, market or technical feasibility studies for the implementation of new public policies, plans, programs or projects.
- We design these activities or policies, as well as define the strategy and operations to be followed for their implementation or launch.
- We carry out the necessary actions to implement these activities or to launch new plans, programs and projects, in a broad sense, executing the operational processes that have been previously designed.
- We manage these activities, departments or offices, providing value as managers and not only as strategists.
- We evaluate the activities that have been implemented, allowing us to know the results, effects and impacts that have been achieved.
Vocation of public service
In Novadays we understand that consulting work must be linked to the experience and professionalism of the people working in this field. Therefore, talent is what distinguishes some consulting companies from others. In our case, to this must be added the vocation of public service. The public sector is extremely complex and a thorough knowledge of it requires experience and vocation.
Public sector consultants must share with senior public officials and employees this vocation to improve society through public policies and actions.
To Novadays' intergenerational talent is added a strong multidisciplinary character, bringing together professionals with diverse backgrounds and experience. The ability to combine and combine the vision of economists, sociologists, political scientists, engineers, lawyers, etc., has always been a distinguishing feature of the company. All this allows us to deal with the complex projects and challenges posed by our clients with solvency.
The specific and continuous training of our teams is complete. Being at the forefront and at the frontier of knowledge requires us to be up to date with new theories, methodologies and innovative technical advances in the various scientific fields, in order to then put this knowledge into practice in each of the projects we undertake. Consequently, the key is in the people, that is why we are demanding in the processes of selection, training and evaluation of workers.
How do we work?
The public policy cycle
Novadays works comprehensively in all stages of the public policy cycle. These stages are:
1
Identification of the problem
In this phase, the problem or challenge that needs to be addressed is recognized and defined. The current situation is analyzed and the public needs that must be resolved through public policies are identified.
2
Policy formulation
Possible solutions to the identified problem are designed. At this stage, proposals are developed, objectives are defined, available alternatives are explored and evaluated, and the most appropriate strategies to address the problem are established.
3
Implementation
It consists of implementing the chosen policies. In this phase, action plans are developed, resources are allocated and the actions necessary to implement the public policy are managed.
4
Evaluation
After implementing the policy, the results, effects and impacts obtained are evaluated. An analysis is made of whether the objectives have been achieved, what impact the policy has had on the population and whether the expected changes have been generated. The evaluation may be continuous or at the end of a given period.
5
Feedback and adjustment
Based on the results obtained in the evaluation, policies are adjusted as necessary. If the objectives have not been achieved or if new problems arise, modifications can be made or even a new policy formulation cycle can be initiated.
