What I Do
Across strategy, programmes and partnerships, I've got the skills and experience needed to help you deliver impact.
Process
Developing a strategy can be tricky.
I can help you map out a process, including what questions to consider, what information to gather, and how to turn it into something visionary and useful.
Drafting
You've spoken to the right people, you've analysed the right information, you've done all the right thinking, but you're struggling to find time to draft the thing. Let me.
Engagement and Analysis
Gathering input from your staff, partners and trustee board is crucial to good strategy development, as is reviewing the external landscape and analysing the right data.
Implementation
Too often strategies are developed, stuck in a drawer and never thought about again. For strategies to be impactful, there needs to be an implementation plan that everyone can understand and follow.
Research and Analysis
Very few programmes are inward-focused. They look outwards and try to make things better in the world. Knowing how you fit into the big picture is crucial to achieving impact.
Delivery
Juggling priorities, managing teams, achieving objectives... Delivering programmes is difficult, and sometimes a little support goes a long way.
Planning and Proposals
Without effective planning, funding proposals are more likely to fail, and programmes will struggle to achieve their full potential, often leading to inefficiencies with spend and time.
Monitoring and Reporting
Unless you monitor progress as you go along, you'll fall into the trap of prioritising the wrong activity, and find it harder to convince funders and partners of your impact.
Research and Scoping
Without understanding the external landscape and recognising which organisations are viable for, or interested in, partnerships, it will be difficult to know where to start.
Proposals and Pitching
Making a good impression and outlining a clear offer are fundamental to pitching. Whether it's developing partnership aims, drafting a deck, or standing up and doing the talking, I can help.
Strategy
The most successful partnerships are mutually beneficial. Being confident in your own objectives, utilising your research and thinking carefully about prioritisation are key.
Relationship Management
Team capacity and partnership demands can change quickly. Sometimes you need an extra person who can get up to speed efficiently and keep the important things on track.
