Tailored Packages

Many strategies fail not because the ideas are weak – but because the process wasn’t right for the organisation, context, or power dynamics.

This offer designs a bespoke systems-change strategy-building approach so your organisation can develop a strategy that is legitimate, inclusive, and usable – without outsourcing delivery.

What this is

A tailored blueprint for how your organisation should develop its strategy, based on your goals, constraints, internal dynamics, and external context.

I do not write your strategy.
I design the process, structure, and decision architecture that makes a good strategy possible.

What you’ll get

A clear written Strategy Architecture Blueprint (PDF)

Clarity on what kind of strategy you actually need (and what you don’t)

A sequenced, realistic strategy process your team can run

Clear guidance on who needs to be involved, when, and why

Recommended methods chosen for your context – not generic templates

Key risks, tensions, and failure points to watch for

A strategy-building roadmap

How it works

• Delivered online (UK or international)
• Typically 4–6 focused sessions (~90 minutes each) over 4-6 weeks
• Light-touch document review between sessions
• One clear written output at the end

Interventions, products, services or programmes often fail because the design process was not fit-for-purpose: it may have been rushed, vague or not user-centred.

This offer designs a credible, power-aware co-design process your team can actually deliver – without burning trust or overwhelming people.

What this is

A tailored plan for how to co-design a specific service, programme, or organisational model, grounded in your context, constraints, and participants.

What you’ll get

• Clarity on what is genuinely up for co-design (and what isn’t)
• A phased co-design approach from discovery to decision
• Clear roles, decision rules, and governance
• Methods matched to participants, power, and purpose
• Safeguards against extractive or tokenistic participation
• A practical Co-Design Playbook your team can follow

How it works

• Delivered online (with optional in-person by arrangement)
• Typically 4–5 structured sessions over 3-6 weeks
• Designed around a specific service, programme, or model
• Written playbook tailored to your organisation and stakeholders

When partnerships get stuck, it’s often not because people don’t care – but because issues around purpose, power, roles, or decision-making haven’t been surfaced or worked through.

This offer provides a structured, facilitated health check to help partners surface what’s not working, rebuild alignment, and agree practical next steps.

What this is

A short, facilitated process that brings partners together to:

• Diagnose what’s working and what isn’t
• Surface tensions safely and constructively
• Agree how to move forward in a way that feels fair and realistic

This is not mediation or long-term facilitation – it’s a focused reset.

What you’ll get

• Facilitated conversations with key partners
• A shared view of the main challenges and strengths in the partnership
• Clarity on where misalignment, power issues, or blockers sit
• Practical recommendations for improving how the partnership works alongside useable partnership tools
• Agreed next steps (including what to stop, change, or clarify)
• A written Partnership Health Check Report summarising the above that you can share and learn from internally

How it works

Neutral, structured, and power-aware facilitation

Delivered online

This is a tailored package, but typically involves:

Preparatory / confidential conversations with partners

2-3 x 90-minute facilitated session with partners

Interventions, products, services or programmes often fail because the design process was not fit-for-purpose: it may have been rushed, vague or not user-centred.

This offer designs a credible, power-aware co-design process your team can actually deliver – without burning trust or overwhelming people.

What this is

A tailored, applied training package that builds shared understanding and a common language around systems change – grounded in participants’ real work.

What you’ll get

• 3x 2-hour interactive online sessions, maximum 20 participants
• Practical systems tools applied to participants’ own context
• A short follow-up note with key concepts and next steps on how to embed systems thinking in your team

What’s covered

I will tailor the training to your needs, but it typically covers:

• What we mean by systems (and systems change)
  Understanding systems as patterns of relationships, incentives, power, and behaviour – not just organisations or programmes.
• Moving beyond programmes and projects
  Exploring why traditional interventions often fall short, and what changes when you take a systems perspective.
• Mapping the system you’re working in
  Using simple systems mapping tools to identify key actors, relationships, feedback loops, and leverage points relevant to participants’ work.
• Power, incentives, and unintended consequences
  Understanding how power operates within systems, and how well-intentioned actions can reinforce the status quo if power isn’t considered.
• Identifying realistic leverage points
  Distinguishing between where change is desirable and where it’s actually possible, given organisational role, resources, and influence.
• Implications for strategy, programmes, and partnerships
  Translating systems insights into practical implications for how organisations plan, design, and collaborate.
• What to stop, start, or rethink
  Creating space for reflection on current approaches that may need adapting when working systemically.

How it works

• We have an initial call to understand what you want to get from the training, with an optional survey to send round to capture this from participants
• I’ll tailor the training to your needs
• Delivered online (with optional in-person by arrangement)
