ABOUT US
Suzi Cowcher & Associates is unlike other consultancies. We are 100% dedicated to supporting community benefit organisations and their leaders to thrive. We understand that at the heart of community benefit organisations is their purpose and this cannot be compromised. However without solid business practices underpinning their important work, the long term sustainability of these organisations can be in jeopardy.
​
Supporting these valuable organisations to reach their potential is what we do and we do it really well having a track record of delivering exceptional outcomes over many decades whilst leading these types of organisations in a variety of capacities.
OUR PROMISE
PRACTICAL
We always pursue practical and implementable approaches to everything. Clever approaches are one thing but if they can’t be implemented by the NFP then they are worthless. The context of the organisation is always considered.
INSIGHTFUL
We always look deeply. We synthesise. We consider. We share what we learn. These features all come together to deliver perceptive insights, steeped in facts and a healthy dose of know how to make the organisation and leaders deliver even more benefit to the community.
INNOVATIVE
We think differently so that great approaches to everyday and not so everyday things can be tackled to generate new and improved outcomes. It is not innovation for innovation’s sake, it is always focussed on generating improvements for individuals, organisations and communities.
COLLABORATIVE
We know that an individual or a single organisation can do amazing things, but if individuals or organisations join forces and collaborate then the outcomes can be even better. We believe that two heads are usually better than one and that together we can achieve anything.
AUTHENTIC
We believe in honest, open and authentic approaches to everything we do. We believe that authenticity is at the heart of integrity and that integrity is at the heart of everything. Confidence in ones actions and the actions of others builds mutuality and solid foundations to relationships. Things just work better!
