Collaborative inspiration for change
I’m Nancy Pole, founder of Co.spire Consulting. My mission is to support nonprofits, foundations and partnership networks in bringing about change at community and systems levels. I do this by coaching and facilitating collective strategy and collaborative evaluation and learning, and by providing research and analysis.
Adaptive strategies for complex challenges
Collective strategy and impact
More and more experts and practitioners have come to embrace the power of networks and collaborative processes to achieve more substantive, systems- or population-level change. I can help your collaborative to strike the right balance of capacity-building, action, reflection and learning, while keeping the human dimension front and centre.
Evaluation and strategic learning
Evaluation is a habit of inquiry that can help organizations to make sense of their own intervention and of the complex environment they are operating within. Co.spire’s approach is centred around facilitation, coaching and capacity-building -- working along with the initiative’s primary stakeholders and enhancing their ability to do and to use evaluation that is relevant and useful to their decision-making needs.
