Our approach

We tailor what we do to your issue and needs.  If you are fixed on a particular solution, we will challenge you to test whether it is the right way forward for you.

We believe creativity and innovation are essential in any organization.  It’s what keeps us going.  We will look at your issues askance and try new approaches if you are up for that.

We work collaboratively with you; you know your business, we know ours.

We work transparently and will tell you the basis on which we make recommendations so that you can challenge and refine our thinking.

Doing our best means that we keep up to date with best practice in our field and supporting our own practice by regular supervision.

Integrity is a central value for us:  we will do our best for you and if we can’t do what you need we will help you find someone who will.  We keep your information confidential.

We are committed to diversity.  We will encourage you to think of the perspectives that may be missing or ignored and we encourage you to challenge us if we are promoting a narrow view.
