Future Partners helps organisations identify opportunities and understand stakeholders' needs. That may mean preparing or updating policies, strategies and other core documents, and writing the reports that frame a decision before anyone commits a dollar. To guide an organisation's scoping, we can run needs assessments and research tailored to each client's requirements.
What our scoping service involves
- identifying the purpose and audience of a new or revised policy, strategy or proposed intervention, and what resources are available to implement it
- reviewing existing documents to understand the background and current situation, along with any rationale or recommendations
- mapping the process to develop the new or revised policy, strategy or programme — assigning tasks across our team and the client's, supervising the work, and ensuring the product is fit for purpose
- consulting with relevant stakeholders, through workshops and other processes
- drafting the documents that help organisations secure approval
- ensuring other parts of the client's operations, such as human-resource needs and job descriptions, stay coherent with new policies and strategies
- advising the client on next steps through the project cycle, and training its staff to use the documentation we've prepared
