SERVICES TO SUPPORT THE CHANGE PROCESS LIFE CYCLE
Partnership Building
We have a strong commitment to partnership working. Facilitating cross-sector collaborations, developing effective ‘change’ partnerships, securing ‘buy-in’ and empowering others to work more effectively together is a hallmark of Pentuple Consulting’s approach. We are experienced in influencing and engaging with colleagues, partners, customers and potential beneficiaries at all levels within complex strategic planning or politically sensitive situations to achieve consensus on the need for change and secure commitment to making it happen
​
We adopt a creative and dynamic approach to engagement and partnership working. This is essential when looking to build a consensus on the need, nature and direction of any desired change, develop a shared vision of what that change should look like, secure agreement on the guiding principles on which to take that change forward and bring about the formation of a strong ‘change partnership’.
We are very experienced in stakeholder engagement, partnership working and establishing strong ‘change’ partnerships. We have in-depth knowledge and practical experience of managing the interface between the public sector, businesses and local communities. We understand their needs, priorities and the challenges they face and how they work, think and speak. We know how to break down cultural barriers between sectors, manage competing interests sensitively, how to get the right people to work together, how to encourage the pooling of resources and expertise and the sharing of risk to achieve a common desired change.
​
We have a strong track record of building a wide range of effective collaborations and championing innovative approaches to partnership working at the neighbourhood, community, town/city, sub-regional, cross-regional and trans-national level. This includes establishing and coordinating small community-led forums and partnerships through to complex, high performing multi-agency partnerships and ‘triple-helix’ consortia at a European level.
