Courageous solutions to issues that matter.

We promise to stretch your thinking about what’s possible and how to get there. Success depends upon combining fresh eyes, objectivity and our experience of what works. We work alongside you as a peer, with your deep knowledge and push your boundaries, whether you’re structuring for growth or solving entrenched community issues. Perhaps this will involve objective analysis, observation and research beforehand, documenting and organising the most important facts and salient issues from your collective data so that we focus on the implications of the facts, not debate what they are. New and existing strategic options will be surfaced and explored, always with an eye on practical implementation. Discussions are always lively, robust and challenging. We create a safe space that gives people permission to speak their mind and think outside their comfort zone. A variety of tools and techniques are deployed, with the cloth cut to fit your circumstances.

We know how important it is to nurture and bring everyone along on the journey from defining the problem, creating the solution, through to do things differently.  We don’t seek consensus – we support organisations and communities to drive toward good decisions.  We help people commit, even when required actions are unfamiliar or uncomfortable.

We help to bring your ideas and intentions to life whether that be building a business case or completing the research and evidence to solve complex issues.

We persist with extracting and matching data sets where many have been overcome by the challenge. Our deep experience across a diversity of industries often brings fresh approaches to thinking to the data story.
