Review and Evaluation – for successful progress review and evaluation are critical to us all.
Without knowing where we are doing well or need to improve, moving on positively can be challenging. We take a participative
approach and invest in gathering qualitative information from stakeholders as well as analysing quantitative data.
By involving all those affected by a service or project we aim to encourage ownership of the process and recommendations for future action.
Feasibility – give your development or idea the best chance of success and commission a feasibility study.
We will establish the feasibility of your proposed development by examining; the present context, market need,
future business, market competition, resource requirement/implications and implications for current governance,
structure and practice. Feasibility studies are vital where organisations are considering new enterprises or
approaches to meet the demands of an ever changing market place. In a climate where resources are at a premium this
allows clients to market test without putting all your eggs in one basket.
Service planning and design – do you know that your organisation needs to take a more strategic and
planned approach to how it does business? Involve new stakeholders or embrace new guidance or compliance requirements.
We can assist you take a step back and look at what you want to achieve, where you are now and how you get there.
Business planning – increasingly organisations need comprehensive business plans when seeking support or resources
from a range of different sources. The process of developing a business plan can be helpful by drawing attention
to progress made, strengths and areas for improvement. We work with clients to ensure the focus of the plan reflects
their needs and that the plan is an effective working document which clearly sets out the organisation’s direction and means of attaining its vision.
Troubleshooting – we will investigate and assess where structures, systems or processes
are not fit for purpose in your organisation. We will work with key personnel to tease out issues of performance,
motivation, culture and relationships. We will make recommendations for tackling challenging issues and moving forward successfully.
Change management – sometimes it feels like the only constant is change! This can impact on your staff's motivation and ultimately impact negatively on their abilities to deliver for your organisation.
We work with organisations to manage the change process positively by;
- mentoring managers through change
- planning an effective engagement process with staff
- working as part of the organisation’s change implementation team
- assuming particular roles on a time limited basis to implement the change
Team development and team building
Great teams don’t just happen. It takes effort, understanding and time.
A team is more than a number of individuals working for the same section.
A good team is where members create synergy, help and support each other, where challenge is acceptable and
where effective and open communication is present and ongoing. More often than not this needs to
be planned and worked for. We offer team building and development services that use a variety of tools and
methods to build and maximise team strengths and potential.

Research informs all our work.
Our qualitative and action research service supports service planning and development, identifies community need and works with
you to develop your own research or practice toolkits.

and hopes into a reality. Whether your motivation is personal or business, you really can achieve your goals.

Coaching techniques are also used with groups and teams: sports teams, business, project and management teams and families.
Mentoring is an exciting dynamic process that benefits for the individual and those around them. We mentor staff to improve performance.
Mentoring is not used as a remedial measure for people experiencing problems:
rather it is for individuals who want to exploit their potential,
who know that they can benefit from their own others’ experience and by being challenged.
It gives an opportunity to step back and reflect on situations differently, examining implications and consequences.
