By ensuring local knowledge is represented to ensure effective community engagement, service co-design and the tangible measurement of performance and outcomes necessary to ensure the delivery of successful programs and projects.
From my earliest days as the CEO of the fledgling Youth Legal Service I saw how the effects of even small improvements in service design and delivery, powered by insight and innovation, ripple outwards.
All too often it is easy to measure the impact of the negative aspects of society in terms of social and economic statistics.
I'm interested in looking beyond this; what worked?, why? and how can we do it better and more sustainably next time?Shawn Boyle. Princpal, Push Consulting.
Whether through program delivery, partnerships, education or enterprise Shawn's work is designed to help organisations whose objectives centre around the creation of positive economic and social wellbeing.
Push Consult provide tremendous support to any community service organisation. They have helped Down Syndrome WA develop our strategic plan and obtain new funding through competitive tender processes. We are also working with them to create web-apps. They really do understand how to develop innovative service ideas and communicate them effectively to our diverse stakeholder group.
Push Consulting bring unique insights and expertise to the social services sector. Their experience in working on both sides of the fence (government and community sectors) has proven tremendously helpful to strategy planning, forming partnerships and developing compelling business cases for our services.
Push Consulting have enormous experience in developing bid strategies. Shawn's knowledge of the sector, the bid requirements and the ability to bring together a range of partners to develop a credible model was invaluable. Their understanding of collaborative working and how best this can be achieved to deliver tenant outcomes was key to developing the detail of the EOI. The resulting model was a key factor in the success of the bid.
Every month we allocate a fixed amount of Pro Bono time to help organisations.
