We answer questions like
- What are we trying to change, and for who?
- What needs to happen first to drive adoption?
- How do we move from activity to a clear pathway for change?
- How do we align teams, partners, and channels into a coherent approach?
- What should we prioritise, and what should we stop or sequence over time?
How it works
We develop clear, fit-for-purpose extension strategies that set direction and bring structure to delivery. We work with you to define what change is needed, who it is for, and what success looks like. Our approach uses a Theory of Change to map a clear pathway from activity through to adoption and outcomes, making assumptions explicit along the way. We prioritise end users, identifying key audiences, what matters to them, and the barriers to uptake.
Co-design is central. We bring together end users, partners, and delivery teams to build shared ownership and alignment. We also build in flexibility, so strategies can adapt as conditions change and learning emerges.
What this helps you do
Define a clear direction for change, including what needs to happen and for whom.
Focus effort on the right audiences, actions and sequencing to drive adoption.
Align teams, partners and channels around a shared, coherent approach.
Make confident decisions about priorities, investment and what to stop.
Why us?
We are extension specialists with deep experience working in real rural contexts across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia. We help teams move from broad intent or activity lists to a focused pathway for change that drives adoption. We are also experienced in working across complex, multi-partner environments, helping align stakeholders and build agreement on priorities, sequencing, and investment.
