We set up our consultancy 15 years ago and during that time have provided valuable services to clients that they keep telling us they rate highly.

So what do we do and how do we make a difference?

From the start we have tried to be a "learning organisation" - especially where our clients' needs are concerned. Based on what they have told us they want, what they need, and what they value about us, we've sought over the years to respond with suitable and effective services. So we seek to emulate Peter Senge's "...organizations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning to see the whole together" (The Fifth Discipline (1990)).

And we've distilled this into three main areas:

  • What we help our clients to achieve
  • How we help them achieve it
  • What values underpin what we do.

OUR OWN RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT:

  • 20% of partnerships feel they are not delivering or failing

  • just over 68% feel they are only doing all right while

  • less than 12% consider themselves to be highly productive

That's why we've developed

"Building Skills for Successful Partnerships"

A two-day course to stretch, question and develop the knowledge and skills of anyone with strategic or managerial partnership roles
