STRATEGY

Incorporating social value creation at a strategic level is essential to optimise overall business performance, identify new opportunities and drive business innovation. 

​

We assist the development of a high-level framework that reflects corporate missions and strategies and/or a more detailed framework for a specific portfolio, fund, asset or development project. 

This typically involves:

• reviewing the current practice and identifying improvement opportunities using a theory of change

• co-creating frameworks and strategies through workshops and other types of engagement

• identifying a set of goals and priority themes. 

OPERATION

To ensure all key decisions are aligned with the corporate mission and strategy, we work with you to identify key decision making points and develop a set of objectives, KPIs and metrics for each. They will be tailored to specific purposes of decisions required and to available resources (e.g. data and time). 

KPIs and metrics might be drawn from existing metrics and research or developed specifically as required. We recommend a minimum set of KPIs and metrics that is meaningful and proportionate to the decisions being made and their possible consequences. 

Our approach helps you ask the right questions at the right stage. 

PEOPLE

Social value can and should be integral to the corporate strategy and all business activities. We help you this integration through tailored engagement. 

This may involve:

• appraisal of current practice and existing resources

• capacity building 

• support for the development of a consultant brief. 

We also contribute to formal education programmes through collaboration with universities and other training providers. 

​

Our engagement in public speaking, roundtable discussions and mentoring is also aimed to raise awareness of the opportunities for the real estate and development sector to contribute to social value creation.
