Our core skills lie across three areas that are
rarely brought together for social impact:
We are as interested in people as we are in measurement and analysis. No social impact, leadership or organisational change process will be effective without understanding and commitment from those involved. We always design approaches that build on and develop people’s strengths and work for them not against them.
Data is only really valuable when you have the means to analyse it. The main focus of our data work is the development of simple and usable means of analsying the information collected as a matter of course by organisations and using it to better understand what they do, how well it is working and how they can flex efficiently to do it better.
We always look at our work in context. We have a particular focus on the interaction between organisations and the external dynamics that determine many of the decisions taken within them. Our aim is always to bring perspective and the benefits of useful comparative approaches to our clients.
