Professionalisation of non-research functions is an absolute necessity for modern think tanks. Operations and communications, if they are to be successful, have to be as effective as those in the for-profit sector. We can help you rationalise your management structure, allowing researchers to spend most, or all of their time researching whilst others take care of running the business of a think tank. Perhaps it’s your governance structure that is failing to give your organisation the support it needs? We have experience in building governance structures and timetables to maximise the support you can receive from boards, advisory councils and other voluntary groups that are part of your stakeholder base.
