We believe a systemic approach is fundamental to creating lasting, radical change. So we get under the skin of your organisation or network, exploring everything from decision-making and ownership, to purpose and brand, to your role in the wider eco-system.
Our approach
All too often passionate people are held back by the strategies and systems they are bound to operate within. Our approach is to encourage adaptive, inclusive and diverse governance, ownership and decision making that build on mission and purpose, rather than inhibit it. This leads to creating strategies that are fit to tackle the complexity of modern-day social challenges; that lead people to collaborate and strengthen efforts to achieve social progress.
We provide practical support, tools and resources, working alongside you to come up with ways of doing things that actually work in the real world. We don’t do ‘off the shelf’ solutions, or ‘tick a box’ reviews. We prefer actions to reports. We like to roll our sleeves up and get involved, helping you to build robust strategies and enabling radical change that will make a lasting difference. And we won’t charge you the earth.
Our services
We offer a broad and growing suite of services to communities, networks, movements, corporates and institutions with a commitment to social change of all shapes and sizes. All our services are geared towards supporting you through growth and major change, and can be tailored to your exact requirements.
