Our services

Strategy and organisational development

Supporting organisations in their strategic choices and their transformation, by co-constructing strategic directions with their teams.

Walking alongside change

We support international solidarity actors at key moments in their development: drafting and revising their strategy (overall, geographic, partnership, gender…), reviewing their socio-economic model, transforming their organisation or setting up a learning function.

Our approach is to co-construct the vision and the stages of change with the teams, taking a facilitating and supportive role. We develop the analysis frameworks, the diagnosis, the possible scenarios and the strategic priorities together with teams and governing bodies: this co-construction is what gives the process its legitimacy.

We use collective intelligence methods to facilitate co-diagnosis workshops and the co-construction of strategic directions. Our input also draws on the experience gained through our evaluations and capitalization work, which gives us a broad view of practices and models across the sector.

Organisational assessment and support for changes in the organisation, its governance and the way it operates.

Setting up a learning function

Designing monitoring, evaluation and learning systems so that the organisation learns from its work and steers its strategy.

How a support process unfolds

Each process is tailor-made, but it usually follows six stages.

Inception

Clarifying the expectations, scope and governance of the support process with the organisation.

Diagnosis

Co-diagnosis of the situation, strengths, weaknesses and challenges, with teams and stakeholders.

Scenario proposals

Developing contrasting scenarios, discussed to inform the organisation’s choices.

Vision of change

Co-constructing the vision of change and the strategic priorities chosen.

Operational roll-out

Translating strategic priorities into objectives, a roadmap and an action plan.

Ownership

Supporting the dissemination of the new strategy and providing tools to steer and monitor its implementation.

What makes the difference

Co-construction as a source of legitimacy

We build the analysis frameworks, the diagnosis and the strategic directions with the teams, which gives the process its legitimacy.

A facilitating role

We work with teams rather than in their place, so that transformation comes from within the organisation.

Collective intelligence

We facilitate workshops in which everyone can contribute, whatever their position in the organisation.

A broad view of the sector

We feed strategic thinking with lessons drawn from more than fifty evaluations, studies and capitalization processes.
