Who We Are
6bythree is a strategy and design consultancy helping local authorities deliver digital services that are inclusive, intuitive, and resilient. We work with councils across the UK to transform their organisational capabilities and data and digital platforms—from outdated manual processes, ineffective integrations, or websites which don’t deliver meaningful outcomes. All our work leads to service journeys that truly work for our clients’ internal staff teams and external communities.
“We work with large-scale, complex, community serving organisations. Our goal is to improve education, employability, and wellbeing; through user-focused organisation and digital transformation.” – CEO Jon Faulkner

We Know Local Authorities
The Challenges
It may be understanding your communities and their needs, researching and defining effective strategies, forming and equipping effective teams, or simply that your digital touchpoints appear to be confusing or disruptive to smooth community outcomes. Many local councils do amazing work, through passionate and committed people, yet are consistently stuck with one arm behind their back as they struggle with some of the challenging organisational capabilities and digital & data solutions mentioned above.
Our Approach
Our approach is anchored in collaboration, evidence, and the co-design of workable advancements in organisational capabilities. Whether redefining a Target Operating Model, a new website, or a Digital Strategy, our process includes: in-depth stakeholder consultation; quantitative and qualitative research; community engagement; service design principles; technical delivery, training and handover; and ongoing support and advice as needed. Our primary services include: solution definition; data, CMS, and custom-built apps and integrations; strategy and consulting; change management; website services, hosting and support; and mechanisms for growth and continuous ongoing improvements.
Our Impact
Our projects, whether focused on organisational change or digital transformation, have a profound and lasting impact. We inspire a shared vision and align leadership across services; co-designed, service solutions and associated user-tested digital journeys that reflect real community needs; provide evidence-led road maps and design principles for confident decision-making; improve internal capabilities through training and capacity building; strengthen cross-council collaboration and assist addressing long-lingering issues; providing clear strategies and actionable plans, with practical guidance to sustain transformation. Our solutions have impacted communities up and down the county, ensuring people can access the services they need, achieve the outcomes they seek, and internal teams are enabled and equipped to deliver them better.
