How we work

Close enough to understand. Independent enough to challenge.

Useful advice begins with an understanding of the organisation, the people involved and the responsibilities they carry.

In not-for-profit, health, research and philanthropic organisations, decisions often involve competing obligations: advancing the mission, maintaining financial sustainability, respecting professional judgement and remaining accountable to donors, funders and communities.

We take time to understand those obligations before proposing a response. Todd remains personally involved, bringing experienced judgement, constructive challenge and practical support. The work stays proportionate to the need, with direct communication and clear responsibility for what has been agreed.

Organisational complexity opens to the independent perspective needed for progress.

Start with the real problem

Understand what the organisation is seeking to achieve, why it matters and what may be preventing progress. Examine the circumstances and evidence before settling on the question the engagement needs to answer.

Keep senior judgement close to the work

Todd remains directly involved from the initial conversation through to delivery. The person trusted to understand the challenge remains accountable for the quality and usefulness of the work.

Shape the engagement around the need

Agree the scope, pace and form of support around the organisation’s circumstances. The approach can evolve as understanding improves, with changes discussed openly.

Turn decisions into action

Consider what implementation will require as decisions take shape. Where needed, TJ&Co. remains involved to establish the work, coordinate stakeholders, build useful systems and maintain momentum.

Strengthen capability

Leave the organisation with clearer responsibilities, useful knowledge and practical capability to continue the work. The engagement should strengthen its ability to act beyond our involvement.

Remain accountable to purpose and people

Consider the people affected by the work, the purpose the organisation exists to serve and the responsible use of its resources. The quality of the outcome includes how those responsibilities are honoured.

He pushes, prompts and tests ideas in a way that brings real clarity to the issues at hand, helping us fully explore concepts before building genuine consensus.

A practical engagement rhythm

The work generally follows four stages, adapted to the scope and circumstances of the engagement.


  • Understand: establish the context through focused conversations, documents, data and observation.
  • Frame: define the question, intended outcome, boundaries and decisions the work must support.
  • Act: analyse, advise, design and deliver in the form the engagement requires.
  • Embed: transfer knowledge, confirm responsibilities and leave the organisation able to carry the work forward.

Consider the work ahead

An initial conversation allows us to understand the organisation, the work ahead and the support required. From there, we can determine whether TJ&Co. is the right fit and agree a practical way forward.
