Who Do We Work With?

  • NGOs

    NGOs are expanding their roles changing the way they operate. In particular they are expanding the role they have in the development of communities and the provision of new knowledge to support their operations. We have supported NGOs to change their practice, develop research arms and to expand their work with communities. Soft Spinifex has experience in developing approaches such as DLI. These approaches enable NGOs to work with research and operational partnerships.

  • Individuals partnerships and private sector organisations

    We have worked with individuals to provide research design, statistical analysis and research management support for small research projects. We have also worked with small and medium private sector organisations to develop plans and manage change within the organisation. Stuck in a rut, have a data set but do not know what to do with it, or facing a new business environment? We can help you to better understand the situation and build an approach to work with it.

  • Public sector organisations

    The advent of Coronavirus and the associated challenges the issues faced by public sector organisations have become more visible as has the need for creative approaches to improving the way in which the sector services its clients. Soft Spinifex can enable you to build and manage relationships with NGOs and private sector organisations to enhance your operations.

  • Collaboration and partnerships

    Collaboration is a focus for Soft Spinifex. Establishing and managing collaboration and partnerships is challenging. The organisations involved are often not aligned in their goals and operational processes and have different expectations of what the collaboration will achieve. Our extensive experience working across sectors means Soft Spinifex is ideally placed to help you to build an understanding of each others views and expectations.
