Challenging Thinking and Driving Organisational Development
One of the standout aspects of Tricordant’s approach is how they challenge conventional thinking. They don’t just accept the status quo. Instead, they push boundaries, encouraging clients to explore ideas they might not have dared to suggest before. This often leads to innovative, deliverable proposals that everyone involved can be proud of. The process is collaborative and facilitative, ensuring that all voices—from carers and patient representatives to clinicians and managers—are heard and valued.
Facilitative Partnership Approach
Tricordant’s style is all about partnership. They adopt a facilitative approach that encourages contribution and builds consensus. This method has proven invaluable in complex systems where multiple stakeholders need to align. For example, their work with the Southend, Essex & Thurrock Mental Health system helped form a new partnership and develop a strategic framework that reflects shared goals and values. It’s about creating a space where collaboration thrives and solutions emerge naturally.
Supporting Systems and Leadership
Beyond individual organisations, Tricordant works at the system level to support leadership and partnership development. Their involvement with Essex County Council and the Whole Scale Change model is a prime example. By helping build momentum and partnership buy-in around the Levelling Up agenda, they’ve contributed to local-level progress that resonates beyond just one organisation. This systemic perspective is crucial for tackling complex challenges and driving sustainable change.
