What we do
Five areas. Most engagements draw on more than one.
01
Governance and Institutional Structuring
Who decides what, on what authority, and answerable to whom.
03
Institutional Development and Organisational Transformation
Building the structures and systems that make an organisation function.
04
Research, Policy and Context Analysis
Independent analysis for decisions that cannot be taken on intuition.
05
Implementation and Strategic Execution
Between a recommendation and a change in how an organisation works.
What we do
The five areas in detail
Who we work with
Four entry points. Find your organisation.
Public and para-public institutions
“Reform mandated without institutional design, overlapping competences, and accountability that produces no consequence.”
Read the capability note
Civil society organisations and associations
“Governance on paper, structure that has not kept pace with growth, and requirements that cannot be evidenced to a funder.”
Read the capability note
Private sector and philanthropy
“Ownership, board and management with nothing separating them, and philanthropic activity managed informally.”

Newly established organisations
“Structural decisions taken at the point when you know least, and which cost most to revisit.”

Three conditions
Written as conditions of work rather than as attributes. An attribute is claimed; a condition binds.
I
Independence
We conduct no lobbying, campaigning or fundraising on a client’s behalf, hold no commercial interest in the outcomes we recommend, and accept no remuneration conditional on an outcome. We decline mandates where these conditions cannot be maintained.
II
Written mandate
No informal advice. Scope, deliverables, timeline and fee are agreed in writing before any work begins.
III
Accountability for the output
The practice remains accountable to the client for the final deliverable, including where an expert from our network has contributed to it.
Expert network
Independent senior professionals, engaged mandate by mandate. Selective rather than large.
