WHAT WE DO

Seven things organisations commission from us. Most engagements combine two or three: research that leads into strategy, or an evaluation that becomes a leadership programme.

 

COMMISSIONED RESEARCH

​

​​

Qualitative research designed, conducted and written up to publication standard. We handle research design, ethical approval, fieldwork with participants, analysis and the final report, including recommendations practitioners can act on.

 

Typically commissioned when an organisation or funder needs to understand something properly before deciding what to do about it.

​

CULTURAL HUMILITY TRAINING

​

​

Research-informed, facilitated training for staff teams and leadership groups, examining how culture, power and professional identity shape everyday decisions, team dynamics and the conditions under which colleagues do their best work. The core framework is the same at every level; the scenarios, language and focus change with the room.

Delivered as a full day, in person, to a maximum of 25 participants, and usually across multiple cohorts so teams share a common frame of reference rather than a handful of individuals holding it alone. Designed to complement existing inclusion provision rather than duplicate it.

​

Typically commissioned when an organisation wants staff and leaders working from the same understanding of culture, power and everyday practice.

​

EVALUATION AND LEARNING PARTNERSHIP

​​

​

Evaluation frameworks, reflective learning processes and sense-making sessions for programmes, funds and multi-organisational initiatives. As learning partner we sit alongside the work rather than judging it from outside.

 

Typically commissioned when a funder or coalition wants to understand how a programme is working while there is still time to act on it.

​​

 

 

ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE ASSESSMENT

​

​

Diagnostic work on how equity, power and culture operate day to day, in decisions, progression, meetings and the things people do not say. Delivered as prioritised recommendations with a realistic sense of cost and sequence.

​

Typically commissioned when the staff survey has raised something leadership cannot interpret.

​

STRATEGY AND POLICY ADVISORY

​

​

Advising senior leaders, boards and committees on equity strategy, policy development and long-term cultural change, including acting as critical friend to an existing internal programme.

​

Typically commissioned when an organisation has the strategy written and needs to know what it will take to deliver it.

​

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

​

​

Equity-focused leadership and management wellbeing programmes for senior teams, built around the decisions those leaders actually make rather than generic content.

​

Typically commissioned when the people with authority to change things need to understand what they are changing.

​

PROGRAMME DESIGN AND FACILITATION

​

​

Bespoke programme design and expert facilitation of difficult conversations on race, power, gender and safeguarding, with groups where the subject matter is contested. Over 150 workshops and seminars delivered across every sector we work in.

Workshops are delivered as a series rather than as one-off sessions. See HOW WE WORK

SPEAKING
