Strategy and design

We support organisations to design strategies and interventions grounded in a strong understanding of the complex social issues they seek to address. We draw on lived experience of affected people and communities, existing evidence of what works, and reflection and analysis of past efforts.

  • Clarifying purpose, goals, and strategic priorities

  • Participatory strategic planning, strategy reviews, and stakeholder consultation

  • Strategic learning processes

  • Systems thinking and complexity analysis

  • Inclusive and human-centred design

  • Developmental evaluation for new and evolving interventions and social innovation

  • Designing programs that learn and adapt as they grow

  • Collaborative design key stakeholders and partners for collective impact

  • Theory of change, program logics, and logic models

Testimonials

Centre for Policy Development, Australia

Lighthouse really listened to our needs in what is a very complex and sensitive space. They approached the task with great care, thoughtfulness and consideration.

Lighthouse were great to work with in every way. They understand the complexity of trying to measure the impact of long-term policy advocacy, and worked with us on the tools and strategies we can deploy to be more effective in the future.

International Detention Coalition, Global

While Lighthouse led and guided the process, there was a sense of shared values and finding meaning in what we are doing together. That’s what made this process relevant, useful and meaningful.
