Case studies

We work with a diverse range of organisations both in terms of size and sector.

All our clients come to us because they recognise that traditional solutions have limited success and are looking to initiate collaborative and innovative working practices and approaches to learning.

We use the questions people bring to shape what we offer – whether that be through Organisational or Team Development, Community and Employee Engagement, 1-1 Executive Development, Learning and Educational Programmes, Wellbeing Services or Co-operative Inquiry and Research.

Charities and not-for-profit organisations

Paul Hamlyn Foundation

Paul Hamlyn Foundation

It is not about trying to produce cookie cutter leaders, operating in a certain style. Oasis is useful at valuing what we have got already and working with that rather than trying to contort to fit into some preconceived idea of what a leader looks like.

Speedwell Project

Speedwell Project

When facing these questions there is no model for doing the work, it is about learning as you walk alongside the client, and trusting that in the end we will both get to where we need to get to.

Education

Northern Institute of Technology Management

Northern Institute of Technology Management

Whole Person Learning enabled us not only to learn a lot about corporate responsibility, we discovered many things about us as a class and us as individuals – although we as a group have already spent two years together. Claire, John and Chris did a great job in literally forcing us to think beyond the horizons of our daily life.

There is no doubt that the Society values this service highly and considers it, not only to be an integral part of its portfolio of people management services, but also one which adds significant value to the business.

Housing associations

Endeavour Housing Association

Endeavour Housing Association

We needed a process like this to gain clarity of purpose and change the roles people played to fit the organisation we were becoming. Future changes are likely to be both faster and more challenging; this process has left us better equipped to respond.

Impact Housing Association

Impact Housing Association

The Housing Corporation is strongly committed to equality and diversity. We have an obligation to respond to the diversity needs of our communities. We must ensure that our services are fully reflective of the communities in which we live. This is not only a moral obligation but also a business dynamic without recognition of which we will eventually fail.

Johnnie Johnson Housing

Johnnie Johnson Housing

We chose Oasis because they were flexible to our needs, responsive and well placed in our areas of operation, but most of all, were focused on the human relations side of management. This key aspect shines throughout the organisation.

We work differently together, we are more conflict resistant, we share more, and through the process we have become a more cohesive and collaborative unit, capable of achieving the future we envisage.

Both to mentor or to be mentored helps me perform better in my role. The training was well-facilitated, very educative and realistic for our organisation.

We were looking to embed change rather than just have a series of change initiatives. Oasis offers challenge and a sustainable approach, personal connection and expertise.

Social entrepreneurs

Core Music

Core Music

I already had an understanding of the value of supervision but Claire brought into sharp focus how important it is. It was extremely helpful, but it is often neglected by organisations, which don’t have that kind of external support for practitioners to develop their skills.

YUMI

YUMI

If I had not had Oasis I could never have done it. What Oasis enabled me to do was to take risks. I didn’t know if I could do it, but I was prepared to take the risk and had the courage to do it.

Working with Oasis is not for the faint-hearted but the benefits are just incredible. It is a journey that you take together and we all get a huge amount out of it.
