Belfast Community Circus SchoolAs a diverse, but quite specialised organisation, it has proved hard to find a good consultant/ facilitator who was able to gain a good understanding of our work and how we might develop an effective strategy. We were delighted to find that Roger was able to rapidly gain an insight into the complexity of our work and the intricacy of the relations between the different stakeholders. Roger’s way of working was perfect for our organisation – he did not try to write a strategy for us, but was a true facilitator – enabling all voices to be heard and guiding us intelligently to ambitious, but realistic plans resulting in a strong sense of ownership of the resulting strategy. Roger’s input and expertise was invaluable in enabling us to crystallise our thinking and develop a strategic plan which has re-energised the thinking of the organisation. With Roger’s help, we have been able to produce a way forward which has engaged the Board of Management, staff, artists and teachers alike at the same time as setting out an operational plan which will deliver significant benefits for our service users. |
