Consulting

Access specialised expertise in educational and professional development, assessment services, and bespoke content creation that activates your organisation's natural potential for growth and impact.

Our Consulting Approach

We don't impose one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we bring deep expertise and fresh perspective to help you see new possibilities within your existing context. Drawing on extensive academic and international experience, our consulting creates clarity around complex challenges and activates the capabilities already present within your organisation.

Specialised Consulting Areas

Educational Programme Development & Curriculum Design

Transform your educational initiatives with expert programme architecture that connects learning to real-world application. We specialise in creating educational content that engages diverse audiences - from designing employability skills programmes for young people from underserved backgrounds to developing pre-academic preparation for international scholarship recipients. Our approach includes curriculum mapping to recognised competency frameworks, ensuring your programmes deliver measurable outcomes whilst maintaining genuine engagement.

Assessment & Evaluation Excellence

Bring rigorous evaluation expertise to your most important decisions. With extensive experience as an external assessor for EU-funded academic mobility programmes and grant applications, we provide the analytical depth needed for complex selection processes. This includes assessment of funding proposals, serving as a panellist for academic selection processes including admission interviews, and participating in scholarship selection panels. Our evaluation approach combines academic rigour with practical insight, ensuring decisions that serve both excellence and equity.

Strategic Development for NGOs, Social Enterprises & Small Businesses

Navigate the path from vision to sustainable impact with structured guidance that respects your organisation's unique mission. Using proven methodologies like the Business Model Canvas, we help civil society organisations, social enterprises, and small businesses develop clear strategic direction. This expertise has been delivered across multiple continents, from training civil society leaders in Nairobi to delivering strategic development workshops across Europe and facilitating business development workshops for local entrepreneurs, always adapting approach to local context and cultural considerations.

Specialised Professional Training & Content Creation

Develop targeted learning experiences that create immediate capability building and sustained momentum. Our expertise includes both creating bespoke content and delivering existing programmes with fresh energy and perspective. We excel at making complex concepts accessible and engaging, whether delivering specialised legal training to judicial personnel on behalf of government clients or facilitating academic writing instruction for international scholarship holders. Every training programme is thoroughly researched and culturally adapted to ensure relevance and impact.

International Development & Cross-Cultural Expertise

Navigate complex international contexts with confidence. Our consulting draws from extensive experience working across diverse cultural settings, from supporting Belarusian academics through EU crisis response programmes to training young people in supported housing environments in Ireland. This global perspective, combined with our current Falkland Islands base, brings fresh insights to international programme design and implementation.

Our Consulting Process

Partnership-Driven Approach

Consulting relationships are collaborative partnerships where we guide you to discover solutions that emerge from your organisation's unique strengths and context, rather than imposing external frameworks.

Evidence-Based Methods

Every recommendation draws from both academic rigour at doctoral level and proven practical methodologies, ensuring sustainable results grounded in research and real-world application.

Culturally Aware Implementation

With experience spanning multiple continents and cultural contexts, consulting recommendations are adapted to your specific organisational culture, geographical location, and stakeholder considerations.

Delivery Approach

Available for in-person, virtual, or hybrid delivery to meet your organisational requirements and preferences. Whether you need a focused strategic consultation, ongoing programme development support, or specialised assessment expertise, we bring the flexibility and depth to match your specific needs.
