How I help

You know something needs to move.

The question is what — and how.

Sometimes an opportunity needs exploring before you commit.

Sometimes the ambition is clear, but the programme, partnership or approach still needs to be designed.

And sometimes you know exactly what needs to happen — you need experienced leadership to take responsibility and get it moving.

Good Stuff Consultancy works across all three.

Discover. Design. Build.

01 / Discover

What's really here?

You have an opportunity, a challenge or an area of work that needs a fresh perspective.

I'll examine the evidence, speak with the people involved and help you understand your options and decide what comes next.

This might include:

  • Organisational and programme reviews

  • Participation and engagement reviews

  • Stakeholder conversations and relationship mapping

  • Feasibility and opportunity assessments

What you receive

A focused review setting out findings, options and recommendations to inform your next decisions.

Typical investment: €3,000–€8,000

02 / Design

What could this become?

You have an idea, a strategy or a funded opportunity. Now it needs a clear approach, the right people and a workable plan.

I'll bring relevant people and knowledge together to develop the programme or partnership, with social value shaping the work from the outset.

This might include:

  • Learning and education programmes

  • Cultural and public engagement initiatives

  • Widening participation programmes

  • Cross-sector partnerships

  • New funded initiatives

What you receive

A practical plan setting out objectives, intended outcomes, resources, responsibilities, implementation arrangements and evaluation arrangements.

Typical investment: €5,000–€15,000+

03 / Build

How do we bring it to life?

You have an ambitious strategy or important piece of work to deliver. Your team may be at capacity, or you need experienced leadership for a defined period.

I'll take responsibility for an agreed area of work, leading delivery, managing resources and partnerships, and reporting on progress.

The scope, decision-making authority, reporting arrangements and time commitment are agreed at the outset.

This might include:

  • Establishing a new programme or function

  • Leading a funded initiative

  • Managing a major partnership

  • Implementing a strategic priority

  • Coordinating work across organisations

  • Restoring momentum to a substantial project

What you gain

Experienced senior leadership, progress against agreed priorities and a planned handover to support continuity.

Typical engagement

A tailored, part-time leadership commission, often over six to twelve months. Fee agreed according to scope and responsibility.

What this looks like in practice

From building a new museum function, to shaping cross-sector partnerships, to helping send young people's words into space, the Selected Work section shows how I approach ambitious work in different settings.

How we get started

A conversation.

We'll talk about what you're trying to achieve, where things stand and what kind of support might help.

A clear proposal.

If we decide to work together, I'll set out the scope, responsibilities, deliverables, timetable and fee.

An agreed way forward.

We'll establish how decisions are made, how progress is reviewed and what happens next.

What do you want to move forward?

I’d love to hear about it.
