Expertise that helps our clients prosper
From our initial discussion through to project commencement and delivery, our clients get our expertise that supports them to achieve their objectives. Broadly, this expertise includes growth strategy, proposal development, grant/funding applications, and management documentation. Although separable, of course, for us these areas work together to reinforce each other and ultimately make your time running your business more effective. To grow, for example, winning new business is essential, but to do this the organisational environment, systems and processes need to be in place to get consistent results that helps to retain existing business while proving the capacity to take on more work successfully. It's a bit like how icicles grow.
We're different
What makes us different, in a nice way of course, includes:
The application of our wide industry experience that enables us to cut through 'normal' ways of thinking. By being constantly exposed to new ideas and ways of working we help to seed new ideas and crystalize concepts that take the work we do for our clients to the next level. Our work in retail product development and insights into the hospitality industry also gives us a 'customer's eye view' of the attributes in product descriptions, labelling and instructions that helps to convert sales.
Our commitment when it comes to getting things done hopefully won't surprise you. This means we're geared to getting the outcome you need at the right level of quality to satisfy your needs. Put another way, if you want a Mini, that's what we'll deliver. Not a Rolls Royce (unless that's what you want). But the Mini will be turbocharged because that's the way we roll in adding value without adding unnecessary cost.
Integrity. While we enjoy putting lipstick on the pig if that's what you want in creating a story that will help your business grow and develop, we always work with honesty at our core and enjoy working with people and organisations that share our values for integrity, who treat people with dignity, and who have a sense of humour (just in case you missed it).
Why the last hope?
Occasionally we’re asked the meaning of ‘Spes Unica’. It loosely translates as ‘last hope’, which we think is quite amusing, given the reasons why people engage us to help them, such as:
Everyone is suddenly on leave or sick when a major proposal is due.
'We can't write!' anyone who's left will say.
And on a positive note, because extra brains often bring to light new approaches to solving problems.
We're eternally optimistic, full of ideas, and prepared to get stuck in to work with your team: we’re always keen to get our hands dirty to find a way to resolve your business or proposal challenges.
