ARK and Decision Time launch an exciting partnership
ARK and Decision Time launched their partnership at the CIH Housing Conference this morning. The collaboration combines ARK’s housing sector expertise with Decision Time’s governance software platform to deliver a complete solution to the key challenges faced by the sector – improving performance and risk management and ensuring good governance.
ARK is now the sole provider of Decision Time’s Meetings, Risks and Goals products to the sector, selected due to their 29 years experience working with clients in housing and their existing support model.
In recent years housing professionals have faced an increased workload due to cuts in budget coupled with the requirement to comply with more stringent regulations around transparency and governance.
Kieran Colgan, Director at ARK said “This partnership is important because it combines our consultancy offer with easy to use, flexible tools to deliver a step change in how organisations manage performance and risk.
Critically, together we can help drive better governance. Decision Time’s tools complement ARK’s governance and assurance work by providing leadership teams with easy access to information and the ability to focus on the detail to enable better decision making.”
Neil Gillies, Head of Sales at Decision Time, explained “We were searching for a first-class consultancy rooted in the Housing Sector as a partner and found that in ARK. As one of the UK’s leading housing consultancies working with over 500 social housing clients both large and small, ARK is perfectly placed to drive our solutions to the sector.”
