National Green & Inclusive Business study in Ghana
Real engagement, not stock imagery
We sit in the circle with the people the decision affects
Every mandate begins with structured listening — community dialogue circles, focus groups and stakeholder sessions that turn lived experience into evidence a board or ministry can act on.
See how we workWho we are
A pillar of ideas that promote corporate, business and trade sustainability
We introduced corporate sustainability strategy through the Institute of Directors — Ghana, teamwork and consensus building through the national leadership of the Association of Small Scale Industries, and climate change and sustainable green entrepreneurship through Takoradi Technical University.
We serve as national consultants on Ghana's maiden Green and Inclusive Business landscape study and policy design work, in collaboration with the Ghana Enterprise Agency (GEA) and GIZ.

Our methodology
Six steps from listening to lasting implementation
A participatory process that keeps stakeholders in the room from the first conversation to handover.
- 1
Discover
Listening sessions that surface real needs before any solution is proposed.
2Research
Participatory evidence gathering with the people the work is meant to serve.
3Co-create
Options designed with stakeholders in the room, not written for them.
4Prototype
Fast, low-cost versions of the service, policy or product to learn from.
5Test
Field testing with users, capturing what works and what must change.
- 6
Implement
Handover, coaching and institutional anchoring so results outlive us.
Design thinking
Human-centred design applied to enterprise, policy and community problems
We frame the problem with the people who live it, generate options fast, and test them before anyone commits budget. The result is strategy that survives contact with reality.
Ideate & sketch
Divergent thinking made visible in minutes.
Build & test
Physical prototypes reveal what slides never do.
Decide together
Options weighed and owned by the whole group.
Team building
Teams that can actually deliver the strategy
Experiential exercises that build the collaboration muscles a plan depends on.
Sequencing and shared accountability
The domino challenge forces teams to plan, brief and execute together — one misplaced piece and the chain fails. It surfaces coordination habits within minutes.
Trust under structural pressure
Bridge building splits a team across sub-groups that must integrate their work. It is the clearest demonstration of interface risk we know.
Taking the work to real users
Teams present their build to community members and absorb unfiltered feedback — the fastest route to humility and better design.
Collaboration
Teams practise working across functions before the stakes are real.
Trust
Structured exercises that build psychological safety and candour.
Leadership
Rotating roles reveal decision-making habits under pressure.
Systems Thinking
Participants see how one decision ripples through the whole system.
Communication
Clear briefing, listening and feedback loops rehearsed in the room.
Community participation
Inclusive processes, documented in the field
Public participation sessions, stakeholder circles and focus groups across Ghanaian districts.
Training programmes
Learning designed for adults with jobs to do
Short, practical and immediately applicable — with follow-up coaching built in.
Workshops
Intensive, agenda-driven sessions built around your live challenge.
Facilitation
Neutral facilitation for boards, assemblies and multi-party processes.
Leadership Training
Practical leadership development for executives and middle managers.
Strategic Planning
Guided planning retreats that end with an owned, costed plan.
Capacity Development
Long-run institutional strengthening with coaching and review cycles.
Interactive exercises
What a session actually looks like
A rotating look at the exercises we run with client teams and community groups.
Strategy canvas sprint

Rapid sketching
Ideas become tangible within minutes, not weeks.
Bridge build
A structural challenge that exposes coordination gaps fast.

Client voices
What partners say
SPI reframed how our members think about sustainability — consensus building turned a fragmented association into a coordinated business voice.
Their contextualisation of Green and Inclusive Business practice for Ghana gave our programme design the evidence base it needed.
The business coaching and proposal support directly unlocked funding for our enterprise. Practical, patient and rigorous.
