Advice
 
Drawing on our experience from
across a wide range of organisations and sectors we are able to
offer practical advice to clients through working closely with
staff, for example, in developing assessment and engagement
processes and methodologies, in providing peer review of outputs
and critical review of e.g. environmental and sustainability
reports, and environmental impact statements, and can provide
expert advice or evidence where an external view is needed.
We specialise in providing a 'critical friend' role in much of
our work and in so doing can help in-house staff undertake
projects and tasks effectively and efficiently.
