At Cardio we work actively in partnerships across your organisation to provide critical cultural insight. Our goal is to identify, surface, engage, connect and practically apply all the talent within your organisation to help you create your own internal ‘Intelligent Client’ consultancy capacity. Once you have enhanced your own in-house capability, we may be the last external consultants you’ll ever need.

6. Imagine…an approach that offers professionals of all
kinds a unique chance to focus on the skills and
knowledge needed for sustainable organisation
development…
Professionals working with communities at all levels are, more and more, charged with the
responsibility of meeting a complex array of issues including partnerships, inclusion, access
to service, and environmental challenges as well as social and demographic change. In order
to effectively address these tasks, professionals need to possess the right skills:
IMAGINE – CREATING SUSTAINABLE ORGANISATIONS
 the purpose of the Imagine approach is to provide participants with insights
into the ways in which a community can form and how to make personal and
meaningful assessment of their own sustainability
 the methodology guides participants through “events” that focus on either
real communities in which participants have direct involvement or case
study based scenarios where participants adopt roles of people involved in
creating better places
 the aim of the methodology is to give participants a wider understanding of
what a sustainable organisation can and should be and to develop generic
skills for knowing and understanding what constitutes such an organisation
