Consultancy

Conduct Becoming provides consultancy services on a wide range of topics and in a variety of different styles. We offer conventional styles of consultancy plus coaching and DIY support to staff undertaking special projects or with ongoing corporate social responsibility commitments. Every project we undertake is individually designed to meet the client's specific needs but an example of how we work is as follows.

Diagnosis
An analysis of the organisation's current corporate social responsibility performance typically forms a vital first component of a client assignment. The analysis may be general and wide ranging, or tightly focused on some issue of current concern. It is likely to entail consideration of policy, strategies, systems, processes, reputation and stakeholder perception. The following activities might be undertaken:

  • Map the organisation's stakeholder network to establish the resulting obligations and relationships in the organisation's environment (social, natural, political, etc.) at local, national and global level, as is appropriate

  • Identify the roots of the organisation's strengths and any vulnerability in its implicit 'licence to operate'.

  • Identify where stakeholder relationships represent threats or opportunities, resources and springboards to innovation and competitive advantage.

  • Assess how management of this stakeholder context impacts on the organisation's policies, strategies, public statements, image, reputational risk, measurement, reporting, values, culture and competence.

  • Identify the implications from this and make proposals for improvement.

Report and presentation
Following our analysis we usually present a written report containing proposals for practical action. This may be followed by a live presentation and discussion. We encourage the organisation to design and agree processes to maintain momentum and we offer to remain engaged with the client as they steer through agreed improvements.
