We work alongside organisations over the longer term, as they develop their strategy and the structures to carry it out.
Check-ins with the people leading the work, facilitated reviews at key moments and workshops for the wider team, around your strategy and how your organisation runs. We agree the work one phase at a time and review each phase with you.
A training or a strategy day can change how a group sees its situation. Acting on what it sees takes longer, as plans meet events, new people join and conditions shift.
So we are extending our training and facilitation to accompany campaigns, unions, NGOs and community organisations through that longer stretch, mainly in strategy and organisational development.
Accompaniment is a new part of our work, and it grows with each collaboration. We design the format with you, and the intensity, frequency and depth of our involvement follow what your organisation needs.
We work with you on a strategy that starts from a clear reading of your situation and puts your effort into the few things that will decide whether you succeed. Then we stay with you as you act on it, so that the different parts of your work stay in step and the strategy changes when the situation does.
For a shorter start, see our training on developing good strategy or a strategy development workshop.
A strategy needs an organisation that can carry it. Together we look at how your organisation runs, from who does what to how decisions get made, and we stay with the changes while you try them out, review them and adjust.
For a single session, see our organisational development workshop.
We use a sliding scale, so unfunded groups can work with us too. See fees and how we work.
We bring process design, an outside view and what we have learned in other movements. The decisions and the strategy stay with you, and so does the ability to carry on without us.
The first step is a conversation about where your organisation stands and what it is trying to achieve. From there we agree a first phase of work, how often we meet and when we review it together, and set it out in a short proposal with the time involved and the cost.
