We have also been asked to take on the role of strategic adviser to a number of clients. This involves acting as a sounding board on a regular basis over a period of time as the client heads in a new strategic direction. They don’t necessarily require research, design or implementation, but want the support of someone with deep experience in social and financial innovation to guide that work as it unfolds.

Clients for who we play this role currently include Arup, PIAC and Live & Learn, and in the past, Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, the Queensland Department of Premier and Cabinet & The Groundswell Project.

In 2019, we worked with Arts Queensland to develop a 10 year roadmap to create sustainable arts organisations and to improve the social outcomes created through the arts.
