Umagine


Unlocking the potential for social impact. 

Our Services

The Umagine service offering is designed for one purpose, and that is to add value to social change initiatives.

Our services are offered in three streams

  • Advisory
  • Projects
  • Coaching

Working closely with you, our Advisory stream explores your objectives and shapes a strategy that can stand up under pressure and deliver exceptional results. 

We convert strategy to implementation through our Projects stream, and apply a proven, robust approach to program design and delivery.

Our Coaching stream builds capacity and capability in partnership with the professionals working hard to deliver social impact.

Advisory

Umagine Advisory offers leading-edge thinking in social impact. We collaborate with you to design and deliver social change solutions that can be delivered successfully. Our unique and strategic approach combines research, critical thinking, design, and innovation. Umagine Advisory is changing things up to amplify social impact programs.    

Strategy

Strategy is built by understanding you, your objectives and your program intent. We take an iterative approach to developing strategy through knowledge, research, co-design, critical thinking and innovation. A well constructed strategy sets your program up for success. 

Thought leadership

Umagine is at the forefront of developments in social impact. We challenge ourselves to remain at the edge of emerging thinking and ideas across the policy, systems, technology, and structures that impact human services. We bring this thought leadership to you.

Innovation

At Umagine we are in social impact space all the time - it’s what we do. This gives us the inside running on innovation. We draw on a growing knowledge bank, recent breakthroughs, new models, and emerging technologies to bring outside-the-box thinking to social impact. 

Projects

Umagine Projects is where design meets implementation, and where most social impact initiatives fail. Umagine brings a tested project delivery approach and methodology to soft infrastructure projects (or what we call ‘people projects’). Umagine Projects is turning projects around and implementing a proven model for success.

Project planning

We work with clients to assess project scale and scope, review critical information, and lead robust and purposeful project planning. Our planning covers critical path, governance, stakeholder mapping, scheduling, deliverables, work packages, communications, risk, essential documentation, and budget analysis. 

Project management

We assess a project and customise Umagine's proven project delivery methodology to the scale and scope of our clients' projects. We advise on all facets of the project including foundation structures, operational requirements, resources, and key activities required to deliver on the critical path.  

Implementation

We are actively involved in delivering the project. We lead the combined effort to plan the project, document requirements, engage stakeholders, manage risk and ensure deliverables are met. A successful project is one that delivers to the critical path and meets its deliverables within scope, timeframes and budget. 

Coaching

Umagine Coaching is a niche service that builds capability for professionals and teams working in social impact. Umagine offers a customise service where ideas, insights, and experience can be tested. You have the opportunity to draw on our knowledge and experience, test thinking, confirm approaches, develop professional skills, and ultimately maximise your social impact. Umagine Coaching is growing capability and improving the likelihood of success across more and more social impact programs. 

Upskilling and skills transfer

Working with Umagine provides a fertile environment for knowledge transfer and skills development by gaining direct access to our thinking, knowledge, and experience. By extension, we support professionals to identify, understand, and apply their existing skill set to current, or future, social impact roles.

Leverage knowledge

The Umagine knowledge pool is deep, and our experience is extensive. This bank of knowledge and experience is made accessible for social impact professionals to expand knowledge, road test ideas, develop critical thinking, and leverage this into strategy development, project planning, and project delivery.

Tool-kit

Umagine Coaching provides access to the suite of tools tested over time to achieve successful program outcomes. Umagine Coaching is an opportunity to align and refine proven tools in combination with in-house products, approaches and technologies for a fit-for-purpose social impact tool-kit.

Michael provided exceptional leadership in our transition to a new Commonwealth Government contract with supported employment for over 150 people with a disability across six states/territories. Our challenge was to meet an extremely compressed timeframe for operational readiness. Without Michael's expertise we would not have met this challenge. The focus of this program remained committed to people with a disability at all times through thinking, decision-making, and change processes. Our leaders and teams were actively engaged, respected, and their expertise valued. The entire transition was skillfully managed to achieve full operational readiness, within a challenging timeframe, and exceeded our expectations.
