“We need to decide what to fund next.”

Overloaded with worthy proposals and no clear way to choose? We translate mission, risk tolerance, and evidence requirements into a crisp scoring matrix. Candidate grants and investments are mapped by impact pathway, leverage potential, and confidence level. A facilitated decision session then guides the board to a balanced, defensible slate, complete with commitment schedules and light-touch monitoring KPIs. You walk away certain—no lobbying, no spreadsheet sprawl, just a portfolio you can publish and trust.

“Our governance feels ad-hoc.”

Blurred roles, loud voices, slow votes—classic symptoms of governance drift. We begin with a discreet health check to surface friction points, then co-craft a living charter, clear role matrix, and bias guard-rails such as silent starts and rotating devil’s advocates. A real meeting is run with the new playbook while we fine-tune in-flight. The result: tighter agendas, broader participation, faster approvals, and committees that act as strategic leverage—not bottlenecks.

“We can’t see real-time performance.”

Dashboards you don’t trust waste everyone’s time. Together we set three to five board-level questions, map existing data, and fill gaps with low-lift tools partners actually like. An impact dashboard then shows live KPIs, confidence intervals, and trend alerts that finance and programme teams read the same way. Regular sense-making turn insights into budget tweaks, shifting board conversations from data lineage to strategy. Less wrangling, more action, happier partners.

“We’re entering an unfamiliar domain.”

New domain, dense jargon, hidden risks. Our Field-Scan condenses the landscape into a 12-page Navigator Brief: key actors, capital flows, evidence gaps, and three entry strategies—pilot grant, partnership, or catalytic investment—each with leverage, risk, and governance notes. Confidence ratings show where facts are solid and where caution is wise. Optional board briefings put sceptics and champions in the same room so decisions are informed and swift.

“Our programs lack coherent learning loops.”

Evidence piles up yet decisions still default to gut? We knit data, people, and reflection into an adaptive engine. Stakeholders co-design a pragmatic MEL framework; partners receive targeted clinics to capture meaningful data without extra bureaucracy. Shared cloud workspaces collect stories and numbers; facilitated Learning Sprints probe signals, challenge assumptions, and agree pivots. A living learning architecture emerges—skilled teams, flowing data, and a culture that iterates instead of ossifies.

“We worry our dollars aren’t catalytic.”

Solo cheques seldom shift systems. We identify aligned funders, draft lean pooled-vehicle terms, and build a shared diligence funnel so every euro faces identical scrutiny. Early pilot grants prove the model, attract slower actors, and refine governance. Our success fee is tied to outside capital mobilised, aligning incentives end-to-end. You gain three- to five-times leverage, peer insight, and a credible platform for bigger plays—all under governance that withstands public scrutiny.
