LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE

We provide direct support in board development, management and governance transitions.

 

We help scope profiles for senior management teams and boards, and provide recruitment, on-boarding and coaching.

 

We work alongside trustees to support them in becoming less operational and more strategic in focus.

VISION AND MISSION

We help organisations or individuals to define their desired sphere of impact,

based on internal drivers and external gaps.

 

These must be transformed into clear and measurable goals supported by a Theory of Change. 

 

We emphasise organisational values, principles and culture.

MONITORING, EVALUATION AND LEARNING

We work with teams to define KPIs that can be quickly tested, simple and measurable. This includes social return on investment measures. 

 

We believe in building M&E approaches appropriate to the stage, scale and ambition of the organisation.

 

We understand both the benefits and limits of metrics, and use them to learn and communicate.

We partner with senior leadership teams and boards to help them work in synergy, developing and delivering strategies that are aligned to achieving their mission.
