TKD advisory helps social enterprises and purpose-driven organisations and for-profit organisations increase their social impact, through First Principles Thinking, public value, and broad prosperity.
Social enterprises, purpose-driven organisations and for-profit organisations, wanting to make a social impact on their communities often face complex strategic questions. Profit or impact, delivering on grants, stakeholder engagement, regulatory complexities and changing policies. These organisations need an advisory who understands their context and their objective.
TKD adivsory helps organisations save resources by getting the problem right. Grounded in direct experience in the public sector, build around a rigorous methodology, and delevered by the person you meet, every time.
TKD advisory works with organisations, form ideation to implementation, facing inflection points: a societal challenge that needs a durable solution, a strategy that needs a new direction, stakeholders that need to be engaged, or capability gap that is holing back the impact.
The work always starts with your problem, and ends with a clear direction you can act on.
Social enterprises & impact ventures · Non-profits & advocacy · Government · Philanthropy
When the path forward on achieving your mission isn't clear.
When the workings of your organisation is hindering your mission.
When your way of working, and not your plan, needs to change.
Alongside advisory work, TKD advisory publishes working papers and articles on strategy, innovation and social impact.
The most expensive mistake in strategy work isn't a bad answer. It's a well-executed answer to the wrong problem.
It is TKD advisory's mission to enable people to solve the societal challenges they care about. Purpose-driven people are often closer to the solution than they realise — they just need the right thinking method to arrive at it. Alongside advisory work, TKD advisory puts part of its capacity directly back into the sector — through free First Principles Thinking seminar and pro bono advisory hours for purpose-driven organisations that need support but can't yet afford it.
