Research, standards & local knowledge
We bring together relevant peer-reviewed research, applicable standards and guidance, practical service experience, and community and lived-experience knowledge. We explain the evidence, assumptions and limitations behind our recommendations.
We examine research and practice guidance relevant to the question, including peer-reviewed studies and reviews where available. We consider quality, currency and fit with the people and setting involved, and make gaps or uncertainty visible.
We identify the standards, guidance and requirements relevant to the assignment, including the applicable program and current edition where needed. Clinical, legal, building and other specialist questions are reviewed with appropriately qualified professionals within the agreed scope.
Research is considered alongside practical experience, local priorities and the perspectives of people who deliver and use services. Indigenous communities direct how their knowledge is shared and used. Recommendations must fit the mandate, resources and context of the work.
We document relevant sources, assumptions and limitations so your team can understand the advice and the decisions it supports. The scope and depth of review are agreed for each assignment, with specialist input and review responsibilities identified at the outset.
Working together
We build on your existing work and agree the scope, deliverables, responsibilities, timing and budget. Start with one decision or connect several stages.
These stages show how the pieces can come together. The scope and order are agreed with you.
Review local priorities, existing supports and the people who should guide the work.
Define who it serves, the support offered, access routes and staffing requirements.
Connect the model with costs, funding, policies, partners and workforce preparation.
Assign actions and owners, support readiness and hand over usable tools. Agree how progress will be reviewed.
Review with your team at each stage. Refine the work as decisions, feedback and resources change.
Community direction & ownership
First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities and Indigenous organizations identify the governance, protocols and decision-making processes that guide the work. We invite you to choose Elders, Knowledge Keepers, people with lived experience and other local contributors to guide our team.
We agree how information may be collected, accessed, used and shared. Community knowledge, client stories and project materials require appropriate permission before publication. Confidential material is not carried into another client’s project.
Project confidentiality & information permissions →Yes. A focused review, a program question or one part of an existing plan can be a useful starting point. We can also support a full planning process and its implementation.
We agree what needs attention first and phase the work around your budget, capacity and decisions. The proposal sets out the scope, deliverables, responsibilities and costs before work begins.
We propose a project lead and the consultants or specialists suited to the assignment. During scoping, we explain their relevant experience and responsibilities. People with lived experience and locally identified contributors participate through an agreed process.
Client-specific deliverables created and paid for under the agreed scope belong to you. The agreement identifies any pre-existing tools and your rights to use them. Your leaders retain decision-making authority; we are responsible for the advice and support agreed in our scope.
Let’s connect
An idea, a challenge or an existing plan is enough to start. We’ll help identify the support that fits.
