Work with us
Our vision and how we work
Our vision is that the outcomes of the research undertaken in universities achieve maximum benefit for the economy and society. Our mission is to work with universities and the users of research, including business, the public and voluntary sectors, civic society and communities to achieve this goal.
We will listen to you to understand your requirements and make suggestions about ways to address them. We will collaborate with you to scope out the work, considering both your long-term and short-term needs. We will encourage you to be ambitious and creative in your approach.
Strategy development and implementation
Whether you are a university undertaking cutting-edge research or a business or other organisation looking to make use of the latest knowledge, do you have a clear plan in place to harness knowledge to address your organisation’s goals? Jenny Ames Consulting can work with you to identify the benefits to your organisation of working with different sectors and help you to develop a strategy. This can be followed by establishing an action plan and providing support to bring the strategy to reality.
Talent development
A talented and diverse workforce is key to your success. A lack of staff talent and an absence of staff succession planning can limit your progress. Jenny Ames Consulting can assist by facilitating tailored workshops for your staff at your premises or off-site. These workshops help staff in a university or other organisation to engage in the translation of knowledge generated within universities to benefits in organisations and society. We can also provide 1:1 mentoring using a coaching approach to help your staff develop their skills in this area.
Initiation and nurturing of cross-sector collaborations
Perhaps you are a small organisation with a limited network or a university researcher with an idea that might have commercial potential. Or maybe you are part of the leadership team of a university or large business and have been tasked to address a complex problem requiring expertise from a range of people possessing different expertise and coming from different sectors. Whatever your current challenge, Jenny Ames Consulting can help you to identify potential collaborators, broker initial meetings, nurture relationships, and facilitate workshops involving multiple organisations.
Other ways of working with Jenny Ames Consulting
Jenny Ames Consulting collaborates with organisations focused on leadership development of staff in the context of research, knowledge exchange and entrepreneurship. Consultancy assignments within universities can assist with aspects of research, the REF, partnership development and knowledge exchange.
