Based on your skills, experience and interests, we think you’d enjoy hearing about why Danesh feels so at home at Newton. Danesh joined us around a year ago after working at a large technology consultancy.

“You’re treated as an individual at Newton – something that isn’t necessarily the case at larger consultancies. Here, you know everyone’s name, and everyone knows yours. It helps to create a strong feeling of community and a shared sense of purpose.”
Danesh Gilani,
Lead Consultant

DANESH GILANI DRIVING DIGITAL CHANGE, FROM START TO FINISH

One of the things Danesh most enjoys about working at Newton is the fact that we work with our clients at every stage of their digital transformation. He sees gathering their feedback as being fundamental to the success of our solutions as it means we can evolve our approach throughout the implementation. At Newton, digital change is all about driving progress, and working in true partnership with clients.

FOCUS ON DELIVERY

Delivery here is very much an iterative undertaking. We implement a solution, we get feedback, we make changes and then we reassess the outcomes. It means we’re involving the client in the entire end-to-end process.

Danesh

“We work with our clients on a framework called The Improvement Cycle, which helps them to find ways to continually improve their operations long after the change programme has come to an end. We apply that principle internally as well.”

– Danesh

QUICKFIRE QUESTIONS

How easy was it to settle in to life at Newton?

Danesh

“When I first joined, I felt a little bit intimidated because there are so many incredible people here. You’re surrounded by people sharing ideas you wish you could have thought of. But the open culture and the development on offer meant my sense of inferiority didn’t last for long.”

– Danesh

Can you tell us more about your development?

Danesh

“You get really good, constructive feedback along with plenty of opportunities to develop and test out new skills. You’re always encouraged to push the boundaries, both for yourself and for the sector you’re working in.”

– Danesh

BALANCING WORK AND HOME

We pride ourselves on helping people at every level to get the most out of life with Newton, whilst also enabling them to live their lives to the full outside of work.

 

 

 

 

 

POWERING YOUR PROGRESSION

One of the ways we empower our people to progress is by giving them true ownership of their projects but with the support of a dedicated development manager as well as a line manager. You’ll also have lots of scope to tap into the ideas and opinions of colleagues from across the business.

Danesh

“You get a lot of autonomy. You’re handed your own piece of work and trusted to do a good job. You have managers there to provide feedback and challenge, but ultimately, that work is yours to own and deliver.”

– Danesh

SUPPORTING CLIENTS SIDE BY SIDE

We always work in close partnership with our clients, involving them in every stage of the journey from the initial planning through to the deployment of the solution and its ongoing success. It’s something Danesh finds particularly rewarding.

Danesh

“When it comes to our solutions, we don’t just copy, paste and leave it with them. It’s so much more rewarding to see the client being an integral part of the process, helping to shape the change we’re making and then adopting it as a new, long-term approach.”

– Danesh

EXPERIENCE LIFE ON CLIENT SITE

We’re big believers that the best way to drive change is to spend quality time with our clients. This means Danesh isn’t tasked with building a digital solution from afar. Instead, he’s able to immerse himself in a client’s culture, understand their issues, and work with them to create a solution.

Danesh

“It’s great that I’m not just being given requirements, creating a product and sending it off to the client. We really engage with them out on site, gathering information and getting to know their business. And we continue to work with them through the deployment of our solutions, making changes as we go along until everyone’s happy with the result.

– Danesh

SHARING EXPERIENCES WITH THE WHOLE COMPANY

Whatever your interests and passions, Newton offers plenty of opportunities for colleagues to work together and make an impact beyond their immediate client projects, whether that’s through knowledge sharing, all-company initiatives or advancing a cause that has a personal significance.
 

Review days

Our fortnightly review days are a brilliant opportunity not only for our people to connect with each other, but also to share ideas, bring fresh perspectives and collectively tackle the most complex challenges in an open, relaxed environment.

 

 

 

 

 

Inclusion and giving back

We have a number of employee resource groups designed to foster a diverse, inclusive working environment. There are also great opportunities to give back through the Newton Foundation – our people have been involved in everything from fundraising efforts for Alzheimer’s to mentoring students from underprivileged backgrounds to supporting programmes to tackle homelessness in the UK.

Danesh

“There are lots of opportunities for us to get to know and engage with each other. We have meetings and events every few weeks, which is a great way to meet different types of people. It creates a strong sense of community, which I find really motivating.”

– Danesh
