New ways of thinking and doing in difficult times.
What we do
We work with other people to achieve significant and beneficial change. Which, you may not be surprised to hear, is rather easier said than done.
If we ever forget that we have to take other people fully into account, or if we lose focus on the change that is the ultimate goal – well, things falter. On the other hand, if people are connected to change and to co-productive working, they can achieve extraordinary results.
This insight, and the learning associated with it, forms the core of our practice, as demonstrated in the five examples below.
in addition our work in 2019-2020 in collaboration with longstanding colleagues, Sign Graphic Design, for TuVida (formerly Carers Trust East Midlands) on their 'story' and to create images and materials for their rebrand and relaunch in September 2020 can be seen throughout their website: www.tuvida.org
