Special projects and innovation
Do you need to spark innovation - and get everybody on board?
Do you need to set up and evaluate a pilot project from start to finish?
Are you setting up a new service but need expertise in making it work?
Maybe you would benefit from a trusted outside expert to help you scale a project?
Are you looking for extra capacity, from an expert leader, to get from idea to execution? I can help.
From idea to execution
A trusted partner with energy, enthusiasm, and a sense of adventure can help your organisation develop new ideas, and make them real. Innovation doesn’t have to big and splashy, or ‘disruptive’ - some of the best is incremental, and even more effective. But you still need someone to encourage asking questions and trying new ways of working. Even if sometimes it’s not part of your organisational culture - or not yet. It’s also vital that new ideas and projects can sustain themselves - that means the right income, planned alongside the delivery.
Often, what you need is someone to explore and unleash that potential for change that is already there. It also helps to have someone with a wide knowledge of what has been tried, succeeded and failed, across a very wide spectrum of social action over many years.
I can help you develop new things, or make them happen, with a blend of design-led thinking, and 25 years of operational experience.
Alongside a particular depth of experience in community and place focused projects, I bring deep experience of a wide range of project areas.
