our services.
We apply management consultancy frameworks and participatory approaches to progressive social impact causes
We offer subject matter expertise and a range of methodologies to explore complex topics, distill these topics for all audiences, support with advocacy and thought leadership, and help organisations better navigate their stakeholder and issue area landscape. Most of all, we understand what it takes to drive and amplify true impact.
Insights-led research & analysis

Multi-stakeholder engagement
Making an impact comes through stakeholder engagement, which requires collaboration with organisations and changemakers with mutual interests. We help clients build long-term, meaningful and trusting relationships by helping to identify and build partnerships. We devise strategies, plans and actions to create collaborations that contribute new ideas, add value, expand networks and build subject matter expertise.
We help clients understand stakeholder landscapes by conducting extensive research to identify the most important organisations, individuals, conversations and policies that our clients should consider to make an impact. We also offer comprehensive opinion research.
Through interviews, focus groups, key informant conversations and surveys, we help organisations understand how stakeholders perceive them, their added value, and their role. This helps us turn insights into actions that shape strategy, outreach and policy.
