Some examples of what we’ve produced:

Fitter for the Future

Seeing the bigger Picture


 


Leadership

Vision -  underpinned by shared values and principles -understanding different perspectives, inspiring and empowering people; mentoring and support for the localism and ‘Big Society’ agenda; stakeholder engagement for innovation and co-production.

Seeing the bigger picture - combining new and different ways of working, across organisations, teams, sectors and partnerships.

Making the most of resources - for ‘value for money’ ‘whole life costing,’ accounting for natural and social capital, and nurturing what communities and social enterprise can contribute; radical efficiency.

Future proofing and place shaping with demand management, collaboration and smarter outcomes-based commissioning.

We offer support and guidance for internal working groups, cross sector working such as Local Strategic Partnerships, or for peer networks focused on particular themes, at the local, regional, national or international (EU).

Our trained and highly experienced people operate with integrity, using approved PBAS and Environment Council accredited methods and techniques and abide by key protocols and ground rules.

We help clients be clear about what they need and want to achieve. We offer process design, and appropriate workshop planning, help with co-ordination, and stakeholder facilitation, and session recording and write-ups.

What  people have said

I attend quite a few 'events' of all sorts and in my experience, it's very rare to get a facilitator who actually does 'facilitate' in the true sense of the word.  

Through Fay’s skillful and rapid consolidation of comments and feedback,  we all were able to come together in a really productive thinking environment.

Her ability to find and illuminate common themes, threads and pathways through a mass of complex info is much appreciated!"
