What we do
We help organisations achieve positive social change.
Theory of change
We make the implicit, explicit.
We support organisations to navigate complexity in dynamic contexts. We dig deep into the why and the how of your vision and story of change so we can articulate your intended impact. We explore the change you seek from different stakeholder perspectives and challenge the assumptions being made about how change is expected to happen. We make the implicit, explicit. This results in a compelling Theory of Change which will guide all that you do. It is backed by a solid operational roadmap to get you there inlcuding indicators that are meaningful to you and your team.
Strategy Development
We help you articulate what you want to do. And how to get there.
With decades of experience working in and for NGOs, the private sector, and public bodies, we bring critical thinking and a rapid appreciation of your organisational culture and strategic direction. We listen, ask key questions and translate this engagement and insight into moving your organisation closer to where you want to be.
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning
Helping you define and measure your impact.
We help you identify the positive impact of your work, as well as the unintended consequences. We ask the right questions, listen to your experiences, interpret findings, and analyse the implications for your organisation. We understand what good evaluation looks like. We carry out evaluations, retrospectives, reviews and assessments on a
regular basis. Based on this, we help you figure out the next steps for your organisation so that you can lead your team in the right direction.Facilitating conversations
We help your conversations flow.
We provide safe and reassuring online and in-person spaces for individuals and group conversations. We help you to enjoy a wide spectrum of conversations, from exploratory and blue-sky, free thinking to bold and difficult conversations. We are trained and practice the tools and approaches from the Technology of Participation. We help you navigate conversations with confidence and ease.
