Organisational Development

Supporting cultural organisations to develop their vision, plans and teams.

Articulating your vision, creating strategic and delivery plans, and growing an expert and enthusiastic team is critical for successful organisations. We can work with you to help fulfill your organisational ambitions.

We worked with Lisa on a WW1 Project which involved the recruitment and training of new volunteers. Lisa’s natural aptitude for working with volunteers was evident from the moment we interviewed her and we knew we’d chosen the right person for the role. As a result we’ve got a good, strong, committed group thanks to the training that Lisa delivered herself and arranged with others. We hope to work again with Lisa in the future.
