2.
GET FIT PROGRAMMES
Unfortunately, not all client/agency relationships are healthy ones. Our Appraisal tool can also be used for ‘Get Fit Programs’ to help focus struggling groups get their partnership back on track. Our approach is designed to understand what is working and what is not against existing ways of working or gaps in a future operating model using focused surveys and reporting.
