A Partnership

Service Description

By now you have run this once and seen what it produces. The question after that is usually not whether to do it again, but who should be doing it. Over six months your own people learn to run it: how a question gets framed so people recognise themselves in it, the routes in and the protections that make them usable, how the material gets held together without flattening what does not fit, how a picture gets returned for correction, and how every theme gets answered. A team runs the second inquiry while Parker watches, and the ones after that on their own. What you have at the end is not a report and not a relationship you have to keep paying for. It is the ability to ask your organisation a hard question and get a true answer, as often as you need to, about things none of us has thought of yet. Most places find the second question is nothing like the first. Arranged after a first engagement, when both sides know what it costs in hours and what it produces. A share of every partnership funds a full inquiry for an organisation that could never commission one, published.
