Strategy Development & Implementation

Helping you create real strategies that you can deliver.

  • “AAW provided bespoke and thoughtful guidance to help us develop our new fundraising strategy following the loss of core funding from DFID. Their deep understanding of the sector, of the latest trends but also of the dynamics within organisations, was invaluable. They even offered to brief our Board directly to give them an insight into the wider fundraising environment, which was incredibly helpful in enabling our Board to understand – and subsequently back – our new strategy. If you’re facing a knotty challenge in your fundraising or marketing strategy, I highly recommend giving AAW a call.”

Your organisation, your strategy

Strategies need not only brilliant, well-led teams to deliver them, but also the organisational buy-in at every level to foster a ‘one organisation’ approach.  

At the AAW Group, our ethos is centred on guiding and facilitating you to create a strategy that is owned by your organisation. And one which is resilient and flexible to adapt to the volatile world we are living in. Using our INSPIRE & IGNITE workshop approach we take you through 10 key stages to help you produce a strategy and a 12-month plan that will provide you with a tangible roadmap and the plans needed to deliver at each stage.  

Led by AAW Principal, Imogen Ward, we work with organisations of all sizes from small, locally-based community non profits to huge global organisations working across multiple countries and continents. We adapt our approach to suit your strategic needs - whether you are looking to grasp the opportunity of growth, are facing a financial challenge and need to re-focus, or are looking to seek an entirely different operational model.
