Consultancy Services
Keeping you safe, providing assurance, and ensuring robust consultation processes that hold up to scrutiny.
Using robust methodologies of formal, informal, deliberative, and less dialogic tools.
We have developed tools to help Consultors ensure their stakeholders can make an informed view, that conflict and consensus are in equal measures, that dialogue is constructive, and that arguments are accurately recorded and synthesised.
Our consultancy services offer end-to-end support from pre-consultation activities throughout the involvement timeline, ranging from handholding via Advice and Guidance, scrutinising and requesting evidence and documents, to ensuring your programmes meet the Institute’s best practice standard as required by our Quality Assurance framework.
