Strategy and Advisory

Our strategists frequently collaborate with boards and leadership teams, guiding them through complex social and environmental challenges that could affect both the reputation of the organisation and the individuals involved. Drawing on intelligence from our networks and leveraging our expertise, we provide ongoing counsel on a range of issues relating to society and the environment. 

Our support comprises: 

• Ongoing counsel for boards, leadership teams and senior advisors

• Risk and opportunity scanning on emerging social and environmental issues

• Advice on purpose alignment, stakeholder positioning and impact measurement

• Responsive advisory during high-pressure or high-profile moments

We help organisations build and deploy clear frameworks and decision-making tools to help them determine whether to take a position on a contentious social or environmental issue. We help ensure this is done authentically, with integrity, consistency, transparency and impact at the moments that shape reputations.

Our support includes: 

• Development of clear decision-making tools for issue engagement

• Support in evaluating when, why and how to speak out

• Frameworks to ensure consistency, integrity and transparency

• Board and leadership workshops to build internal alignment

We help organisations develop strategies that create meaningful and measurable social impact. Working collaboratively with businesses, charities and public sector bodies, we craft approaches that align social purpose with strategic objectives. Our structured, sector-informed process ensures that strategies are authentic, inclusive and deliver tangible value to both communities and organisations.

We support clients with:

• Defining or refining a clear and credible social purpose

• Prioritising relevant issue areas through research and stakeholder input

• Designing community impact strategies, philanthropic programmes or multi-year nonprofit strategies

• Engaging leadership and internal teams to ensure buy-in and long-term success.

Our strategists work with organisations and individuals across the public, private and social sectors to plan, communicate, and deliver ambitious, authentic and credible climate initiatives that support a just transition to net zero.

This support includes:

• Climate change/environment campaigns and communications

• Policy research, landscape mapping and horizon scanning

• Advocacy strategy and delivery

• Sustainability reporting

• Partnership or initiative design

• Philanthropy and corporate citizenship

We work with organisations to design flagship initiatives that encapsulate their values and deliver visible, measurable impact on the issues they care most about. These ‘Hero’ initiatives serve as a clear external expression of purpose - uniting storytelling, strategy and delivery in a way that cuts through. We help you build initiatives that inspire, engage and set your organisation apart as a leader on the issues that matter.

We will support you with:

• Designing standout, values-led flagship initiatives
