WHO WE ARE

We’re an experienced team of facilitators and engagement practitioners specialising in high influence and deliberative engagement.  

COLLECTIVELY, WE HAVE MORE THAN 200 YEARS of EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD.

What we OFFER

We deliver fit-for-purpose engagement processes and training experiences of all sizes in both online and face-to-face formats.

Our work is evidence-based and we continually refine our practice through the integration of research and innovation.

since 2016, we’ve delivered more than 450 projects, including 44 deliberative engagement processes.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

We’re a family-owned, values-based organisation and we aim to prioritise people, principles and process over profit. We bring independence to every project and are known for providing honest, genuine advice.

We share our knowledge and learnings by providing free resources and we reinvest in the field through advocacy, research and pro-bono work.

where we’re going

We are deliberative engagement specialists. We seek to lead where deliberation is going and we participate in international, industry networks.

We’re committed to strengthening deliberative practice across the world and supporting others to embed deliberation into decision-making.

We contribute to international conversations about deliberative democracy, and we are members of Democracy R&D.

HOW WE HELP

We support you to define and share the problem, partner with your community to tackle big issues, navigate (sometimes difficult) conversations and achieve agreed outcomes.  

We help people from all walks of life to have better conversations and contribute to trusted decisions that ‘stick’.
