"The whole atmosphere in the Consortium has changed positively and dramatically."

Collaborative or partnership working can achieve value for money and efficiency, better or more joined up local services and so a better experience for service users. Getting the right people on board at the right time is vital to its success.

Rubus' experience in partner selection, facilitation, brokerage and mediation, collaborative planning and stakeholder engagement can create strong and productive relationships by engaging the right people on the right terms.

Rubus uses a variety of fun, challenging and stimulating techniques to get the most out of the people you work with. Engagements can be tailored to suit your audience and objectives and can include

• large scale or public events, eg Open Space events
• focus groups
• consultations
• customer journeys
• away days
• workshops
• fun days
