Strategy &
Concept Development

We team up with you to develop a high-level plan guiding the allocation of resources to achieve specific goals, rooted in your organisation's mission. Applying concept development, we formulate and refine ideas for specific purposes, clarifying your core objectives. We apply these two elements together to ensure your strategy outlines the overall plan, and your concept development refines and articulates ideas to align with your strategic goals. We will always strive to collaboratively engage all stakeholders to create and develop plans that guide you, your teams and your organisation towards its goals.

Our Approach

  • We support you to define clear objectives and goals.

  • We conduct comprehensive consultations with key stakeholders, leveraging a participatory approach to ensure diverse perspectives are considered. 

  • We facilitate workshops and working sessions to co-create a strategic plan that reflects the organisation's values and objectives.

Stakeholder Engagement
& Landscape Mapping

We strive to clearly identify and analyse the individuals, groups, or entities that can impact or be impacted by your project, your intervention or your organisation. Combined with a deep understanding of external environmental factors such as economic, social, political, and technological elements, we always aim to provide our clients with a holistic view enabling them with a greater understanding of their operating landscape. 

Our Approach

  • We start by engaging stakeholders to understand their needs and concerns.

  • We facilitate collaborative sessions to identify key influencers, partners, and community stakeholders. 

  • We then analyse the external landscape and organisational ecosystem to identify trends and potential opportunities or challenges. 

  • We integrate insights from both elements to offer a comprehensive understanding in support of facilitating effective decision-making and strategic planning.
