Pattern Spotting and Joining the Dots

Companies often focus on the here and now and todays problems and challenges. At Ysustain we will stretch your thinking and ask the uncomfortable questions whilst building a plan to future proof your business. We will work with your team to develop the existing talent and identify training and skill gaps within your organisation. We will also support you to analyse your current market position and align strategies and plans to enhance future performance.

Ysustain uses a range of system based tools and thinking to ensure the correct strategy is derived for your operation. The correct strategy will ensure success. We will develop this within your organisation working with directors, managers, staff and volunteers who can all contribute to a successful strategy. We can build in social value as an important element for any business today. This is included as part of the programme.

Asset Based Community Development

Ysustain Ltd has always championed the role of Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) when working with communities to develop sustainable futures. All of Ysustain's work involves working with people and not doing things to communities, working with what is already strong and not focussing on what's wrong with communities or services. 

Ysustain Ltd recently lead a research project called Realising Community Assets and has for several years defined and built upon the assets that already exist in local communities. Report attached.
