Development Services

New Paragraph

Standing still or resting on past achievements is recognised as a poor business strategy. Change is happening all the time around us, and failure to adapt to change will result in stagnation and irrelevance. Yet, it is challenging to constantly modify, adjust, or reorganise one’s creative practice or business operations. However, knowing when it is the right time to consolidate and when it is the right time to innovate is essential for resilience and sustainability.


Our development support services to individual creative practitioners, cultural organisations, and public service providers are bespoke. These services are designed to help our clients create and implement development plans critical to successfully achieving their goals and ambitions. We work with our clients to set ambitious and achievable objectives. We begin by understanding their challenges and goals. We explore options that are practical and offer optimum solution-focused and action-oriented outcomes.


Creative Development

We support artists and creatives in planning their career pathways and identity routes to achieve their creative objectives.
 
We have supported creatives to,


  • Understand the funding landscape and identify realistic funding options and relevant income generation strategies.


  • Devise touring programmes for new works and secure funding for its delivery.


  • Develop a plan and strategic approach to expanding creative projects and implement significant change in their practice and approach to work.

Organisational Development. 

We have worked with and supported creative organisations of all backgrounds and public service providers (statutory and third sector) to set policy and deliver action plans.
 
Our work in these areas includes


  • Support embedding internal policies and practices, enabling a cultural organisation to establish its presence and build relationships with target communities to meet their needs.


  • Devise a re-launch strategy for a creative initiative evolving from a project-led business model to one delivering ongoing performance themes programmes to reach young people from marginalised backgrounds.


  • We have worked with statutory providers and non-government organisations to devise engagement strategies to improve knowledge and understanding of communities that engage less with their services.
