Research & Development
Our evidence & innovation core
We work with you to research, and develop your ideas, planning, programs, and capacity.
We act as your detectives to test, adapt, prove, and add value to your existing services, and to innovate, to bring together existing evidence, and add to it.
With a whole-of-system, organisation-wide approach, we apply research & action-research methodologies, including desktop literature and service reviews, bespoke and collaborative co-design, and person-led pilot projects.
Based on the evidence, we can guide practical strategies to problem solve service model, and operational level challenges. Work can work on big or small service reviews, from full scope statewide systemic reviews and advice, through to start up level or reimagining your approach, developing and documenting practice guidelines, policy and procedures, and streamlining services while maintaining quality, in resource limited environments.
Built on evidence, building the evidence.
Culture | Strategy | Change Management | Growth
Change is a continual. Thriving in times of constant change is a challenge. The most successful, healthy organisations know it is a discipline, requires expertise, and that embedding those excellent foundations, is a critical investment worth making.
We work with you to articulate what matters. And critically how you will work, so that your Values, Vision, practice, and progress towards strategic objectives, genuinely align.
Globally there has been a profound economic, social, and technological shift. Deeply understanding where you are within that context, where you are headed, why it matters, the influences and lessons, and how you are going to get there, is essential. Yes, that is daunting, because it requires research, analysis, perspective, trial, error, and because insight, preparation, transformation and success requires dedicated time and trained focus. In the necessary busy-ness of the day to day, it therefore can often get dropped to the bottom of the list.
PAUSE can help.
