  I am the lead Consultant working directly with CIC's, CIO's, Charitable Organisations and small businesses. We differ in our method of consulting by working within the teams, embedding strategy into operations and assisting organisations to visualise and achieve their objectives through insights, support and ideation. We use a multi-disciplinary approach, drawing from various disciplines and utilising our collective experience to tailor solutions that align leaders, structures and strategy to their organisational vision. While the consultancy operates on an advisory capacity, we undertake curated projects that are closely aligned to our mission. Sample projects are listed below: *Historic building, Arts hub management and Program curation: Co-lead the operation, launch, marketing of arts hub in a newly modernised historic building. A great opportunity to engage with communities and embed accessible art and performance events within the centre. *Organisational Change: Review, critically analyse London based health charity to consolidate health services and source new income streams. Reviewed governance and management with analysis of workflows. Challenge was to recommend strategies to scale-up independently without reliance on external funds. *Organisational Development: Within education and creative industries by re-designing organisational structures; aligning fundraising and income generation strategies to enable scaling up. *Business Development: With cultural and arts organisations advising on business plan, forecast and diversifying income streams.
