Social Scaffolding is an agile, consulting firm based on four key principles: 1. Specialised not-for-profit consulting firm We focus purely on working with clients in the not-for-profit sector (including corporate and NFP partnerships) and have gained detailed knowledge and experience of the sector’s opportunities and challenges, where disruptive business models and new service delivery for both providers and customers are being realised. 2. Senior team operating in a hands-on capacity Our team is comprised of experienced practitioners who work directly on solving client challenges. We do not hand-off project deliverables and responsibilities to junior team members. 3. Large consulting firm experience at realistic market rates Our team members are trained and experienced in the operating practices and frameworks of large firms, however, our rates are more realistic and aligned to the not-for-profit sector. 4. Deep commercial experience Our team members have all worked in transaction markets – either in corporates or run their own businesses. We bring this wealth of experience to the not-for-profit sector to support transitioning to these commercial markets and enable success in business, processes, finance and strategy.
