Our Services
We design participatory, creative processes so outcomes in evaluation, strategic planning, and capacity building emerge organically from the people who will live them. Our work is systemic—we attend to structures and processes and to culture, values, and relationships—so change sticks

Future planning and 
organisational change

Many organisations and leaders desire to better embrace and co create change for a better future for them and their ecosystems. We assist you in that process.

Leadership development and coaching

Leaders have traditionally played a pivotal role in organisations but we need new ways of leading. We inspire and help you to become the leader who brings out the best potential.

Knowledge systematisation 

We are passionate about generating knowledge that is meaningful and useful for those working in the knowledge and policy field.

Capacity building

With a mix of interactive learning approaches and activities we help a wide range of stakeholders share knowledge and learn on what they need to learn.

Team empowerment and collaboration

We use different methods and tools that enable more inclusive, agile, and fruitful group interactions.

​

Participatory learning &
evaluation

We have experience in multi-country and multi-stakeholder programmes, projects and organisational evaluations that are used to inform decisions.

Future planning and organisational change

P&I supports organisations in navigating change with clarity and confidence. We help teams conduct holistic self-assessments, identify high-leverage points for transformation, and define actions that strengthen both organisational performance and collective wellbeing. Even when working on a single function—such as fundraising or governance—we treat it as part of an interconnected system.

​

Whether facilitating strategic planning, multistakeholder consultations, or evaluations of specific reforms, our approach is systemic and participatory. We work with both people and the complex living systems they are part of. Drawing on methodologies such as Design Thinking, Theory U, Art of Hosting, and Liberating Structures, we create safe spaces where collective intelligence can emerge—leading to meaningful and sustainable results.

​

Our change work addresses both the visible drivers of transformation (processes, structures, capacities) and the less visible but equally powerful dimensions (culture, mindsets, values) that often shape outcomes from beneath the surface.

Teams empowerment and collaboration

People relate to each other and collaborate naturally if they are able to connect their personal purpose to the bigger, shared mission and vision of their team and organsisation. 

​

The more organisations are able to listen and incorporate different voices, views and interests into their creative processes the more effective they will be. We empower collaboration in teams by bringing everyone together in safe spaces where transparent and candid conversations can happen. We facilitate the necessary trust and empathy that allows team members to solve challenges and co-create the better possible future for very concrete challenges.

​

We use different methods and tools that enable more inclusive, agile, and fruitful interactions such as Liberating structures, the Dare to lead toolkit (Brené Brown), and Agile methods. Active and inclusive participation cleary turns into meaningful results.

Leadership development and coaching

Within our VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world, more and more leaders today acknowledge that they do not know how to effectively lead and inspire others. 

​

We support leaders who are transitioning to new ways of co-leading organisations that capitalise on collective intelligence, self-management, and shared purposes. 

​

We also help leaders integrate different sources of knowledge, ranging from inner wisdom to local and indigenous knowledge and research generated by experts and professionals.

Capacity development

With a mix of interactive learning approaches and activities we help a wide range of stakeholders further develop their knowledge, skills and attitudes to better contribute to their organisations and contexts. We do this with an emphasis on horizontal exchange and an artful combination of theory and practice.

​

Learning for us needs to be context-relevant and fit for purpose. We always strive to help individuals apply what they learn to their workplace: through development of plans and strategies for their institutions, to mentoring and technical assistance for implementation.

​

​We help participants improve their skills in areas such as policy engagement, policy-relevant research, communications, fundraising, monitoring, evaluation and learning, leadership, and gender and diversity, among others.

​

Our capacity building activities also integrate good practices from around the world to inspire our participants with new approaches, tools, and ideas and also learn from them.

Participatory learning & evaluation

We contribute to strengthening organisations’ learning culture by designing and applying co-creative, participatory, and diversity-aware evaluation approaches (from data collection, to use and communication). We foster embracing both successes and failures.

​

We have vast experience in multi-country and multi-stakeholder programmes, projects and organisational evaluation. We emphasise the production of useful and relevant findings, that are validated through different sensemaking methods. Based on this, we offer strategic recommendations that are sound, innovative and actionable.
