Ethicore is an ‘impact agency’.
We help organisations, individually and collectively, to improve their social and environmental impact through insight, engagement and partnership.
Our mission is to enable changemakers to build a thriving, sustainable and resilient place for all living kind.
We work with organisations, partnerships, networks and movements to help them have a bigger and better impact. We engage with all the key partners for change, from community groups to businesses, social enterprises, NGOs, funders, think tanks and institutions. Our impact agenda is broad, covering both social and environmental issues and frequently the nexus between them. However, our approach is consistent and focused, providing a powerful common thread through this agenda, and bringing unique insight to each initiative.
- We understand what impact looks like and develop frameworks and plans based on deep INSIGHT.
- We map stakeholders and create meaningful STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT and PARTICIPATORY PROCESSES.
- We develop organisations and their STRATEGIES and facilitate PARTNERSHIP.
INSIGHT
We establish what good impact looks like and where you are. We build a deep understanding of the opportunities and issues. Then design sustainable strategies and engaging concepts. It starts with questions like:
- “How effective is our ‘Private Sector Partnerships and Fundraising Strategy‘ and performance?”
- “How can our movement enable a ‘Globally and Socially Fair Transition‘?“
- “How should we develop our strategy to transform our impact and partnerships by 2030?“
Services include:
- Market research and analysis (qualitative and quantitative).
- Desk research (trends analysis, horizon scanning, landscape analysis, comparator analysis, case studies).
- Literature reviews and reports.
- Thought-Leader and expert interviews.
- Impact frameworks, theory of change and evaluation.
ENGAGEMENT
Real change doesn’t come about without engagement. Whether it is involving staff, partners and stakeholders or engaging with those who don’t agree with you, meaningful engagement counts. It makes the difference between a strategy or plan on the page and real ownership and impact. We design and deliver participatory approaches, engaging stakeholders meaningfully throughout the process.
Services include:
- Stakeholder mapping and development (from partners to influencers, funders and investors).
- Stakeholder research (in-depth interviews, paired and mini-groups, focus groups and surveys).
- Engagement strategies, participatory process design & facilitation (workshops, away-days, retreats, webinars, conferences, round-tables, and forums).
- Co-creation and innovation processes (concept development, sprints, position development).
- Conflict resolution and relationship management (partnership/network facilitation, position or campaign development).
STRATEGY AND PARTNERSHIP
Organisations and their partnerships, collaborations, multi-stakeholder initiatives, networks or movements need space, strategy and support to grow their impact. We design and facilitate the strategic planning processes and partnerships that are built on deep insight and engagement to respond to the challenges of our time.
Services include:
- Strategy development and planning (organisational, technical, innovation and partnership/network strategies).
- Partnership strategy and development (scoping, brokering, facilitating, evaluating).
- Sustainability and finance strategy (financial evaluation and modelling, funding and fundraising analysis).
- Fundraising strategy and development (foundations, institutions, individuals, partnerships/initiatives, social enterprise and finance).
- Executive coaching.
