Successful consulting begins 'with the end in mind'. Our approach is to get clear about that by starting an open conversation to identify the overall purpose of the work and what you want to achieve at the end of the project.

Here are three ways we might work together:

• an interview with key stakeholders and some text modelling around that to help see where opinions might be shared or differ.

• roughing out a wider context and then following on with a smaller element or elements of the project run as a 'pilot' before going on to a more comprehensive service.

• doing a 'scoping' study and presentation which will give the project a broader grounding and suggest the directions to take. 

• using Sensemaker software to collect stories on how different people are experiencing the issue and using this story data longer term to support decision makers in taking the next steps and tracking results
