Experience – NGOs & NFP

How Tirian uses their corporate & educational experience for Corporate Social Responsibility & supporting NGOs and the NFP sectors.

We like to draw on our experience in education and organization development to support the not-for-profit sector and give back to communities. Working with NGOs, governments and corporations across so many cultures also gives us a unique perspective on topics. For over 3 decades now, we have researched, designed and delivered long-term innovation culture solutions for a number of not-for-profit organizations, including directing a one-year project working on innovative solutions for a government project that supports impoverished farmers with improving agriculture techniques in Indonesia, coordinating strategies for refugee organizations to overcome challenges internationally, and producing a health curriculum for more than 25 million teachers and students in India.

Global Buildings Performance Network (GBPN) is a not-for-profit organization that works with governments and industry developing innovative building policy reform programs in key regions around the world that aim to tackle the climate emergency. In this World Cafe Business Facilitation session, we assisted GBPN with the goal to plan for future strategies to decarbonize the buildings sector and advance sustainable development through policy implementation.

“A big thanks for all the prep work prior to the workshop and the delivery on the day. We really achieved what we set out to do, left with solid outcomes, and each person left with many takeaways. Thank you for your calm and detailed manner throughout it all, you guided us perfectly through the day”.

You were meticulous in planning and industrious in carrying the plans through. You planned highly innovative sessions, design, and your enthusiasm was infectious and appreciated by all concerned. The end result is that 25 million children will benefit from this project.
