Publications – Selected published work
For most of our consultancy and research assignments the report is the main output. A draft is often submit to the client for discussion before the final is approved and accepted.
Very few of the reports are available for publication because of the confidential and sensitive nature of the consultation.
Our reports are written in clear English and present the results of our investigations or enquiry.
We provide in most reports:
•An executive summary
•Conclusions
•Recommendations
•An Introduction
•The context
•Methodology
•Findings
•Action plan for implementation
•Appendices as required
As consultants we undertake assignments for clients and maintain strict client confidentiality.
However on some occasions our clients publish assignments that we have undertaken or allow us to do so.
Here are a few publications

Though community businesses exist within the black community, and black community organisations who owned their own premises have been in

or been dispossessed of these buildings and community facilities. That research revealed that these organisations
were not benefitting from the many initiatives directed at encouraging community ownership and management of assets.
