We help new and existing organisations to plan their future direction, a funding application or a particular project or activity. We will help you take time out from the day-to-day to think about the difference you want to make and how you’ll get there. We’ll work with you to produce a working document to guide your work, whether that’s a strategic or business plan, an activity plan or project plan.  We can also help you create systems to monitor and evaluate your plans.

Sleeping Giants is extremely well placed to support your planning needs, where possible involving your key stakeholders as equal partners in the planning process.

We design our work with clients with their capacity and needs in mind. We can work with you for shorter or longer periods of time; can deliver planning sessions face-to-face or through interactive online sessions; and can use a variety of approaches to complement our planning sessions. For example, surveys and informative webinars to help you learn, and form and share your thoughts in your own time and in ways that suit you best.

Our planning approaches use best practice tools to ensure quality including:

• The Learning, Evaluation and Planning Framework (LEAP)
• Visioning Outcomes in Community Engagement (VOICE)
• The National Standards for Community Engagement

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Grace has a wonderful way of taking the fear and confusion out of monitoring and reaching outcomes. She facilitates well and helps me formulate / articulate what I am trying to achieve and where I am struggling in a clearer way. I really appreciate her counsel, and her calm approach helps me stay calm and things feel ‘doable’.”
