Established in 1998, KPeople has become a well-recognized European management consultancy in the
field of business improvement. Based in the UK, but operating throughout Europe, KPeople has developed
a substantial reputation for supporting a wide range of organisations to introduce more effective and
efficient ways of working.
Since it was established, KPeople has supported over 100 organisations in various business sectors to
improve their performance in a wide variety of ways.
Over the past years, KPeople has created, managed and successfully completed international R&D
projects funded by the European Commission in different areas. It has also provided expert advice to the
EC in these areas, both as evaluators of proposals for R&D funding and as reviewers of projects.
As a result, KPeople has now developed a substantial European client base and is currently working in
France, Italy, United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland, Hungary and Poland.
KPeople’s approach involves making the best possible use of the whole range of emerging technologies,
available at an increasing rate but which can lead organisations along expensive and unproductive paths.
The philosophy is to identify where new technologies can help organisations to work better, never allowing
the technologies to be the driver or trying to fit working practices around them.
KPeople has particular expertise in business development, financial services and most types of small
and medium size enterprises (SMEs), but is increasingly being asked to apply its skills and experience to
a wider range of business sectors and types of organisation.
KPeople has also worked extensively at Government level and has been heavily involved in the development
and implementation of a number of national policy initiatives in the field of ICT strategy and Business
Process Re-engineering.

development) and then eTEN (Market Validation) phases.
Due to the mentioned expertise KPeople entirely complies with the Initial Deployment requirements of
the MAP Consortium. It will support the whole activities related to the project mainly referred to those to
be done in the WP1, WP3 and WP6.
