Our team of experts are on hand to help you and make sure you get it right

Change is happening in organisations every day – sometimes obviously, as part of a structured programme, but at other times not labelled as ‘change’ at all.

People make change happen. How you engage and communicate with those impacted by your change is crucial – whether that’s with staff when considering or implementing a new operating model, or external stakeholders and residents needed to contribute to and understand a new strategy that sets a fresh direction (that’s also change!).

Done well, engagement and communications secure buy-in, advocacy and co-creation of change. In contrast, poor engagement gives capital to change saboteurs and failure to communicate fuels rumour and speculation.

Our Approach

We bring people in, balancing the needs of your stakeholders with the outcome you want to achieve; we use open dialogue techniques to seek common ground, identify areas of disagreement, worry or concern, and facilitate conversations and approaches designed to achieve resolution. We use creative and engaging communications to explain your vision, stimulate debate and achieve contribution.

We bring the capacity, capability, expertise and energy to make sure communications and engagement plays the fullest part it can in setting your change up for success.

Communications and Engagement in Action

We understand that change can be a daunting prospect, and so it’s our aim to help organisations establish structure from within, and support them in setting achievable, positive goals which will make a meaningful difference to the way they work.
