Consulting
If culture keeps eating strategy, maybe it’s starving for Care.
Take the Care @ Work Assessment to get a clear overview of how your organisation holds people, purpose, and pressure.
Regenerative Consulting
We support you in designing Regenerative systems and that allow your mission and your people to thrive — in balance.
We bring care to strategy — and strategy to care.
We work alongside African and global partners to restore clarity, coherence, and care in complex systems. Our consulting practice integrates organisation design, governance, leadership, and cultural well-being, ensuring that the structures that hold your mission can also sustain your people.
You’re not doing it wrong. You’re just doing it alone.
We walk beside leaders and teams who care deeply — designing systems that make good work feel lighter, braver, and more connected.
The Paths We Walk With You
Every engagement begins with listening.
We look at the whole ecosystem — the roots, the landscape, even the weather — so you don’t just fix surface problems.You build slutions that are robust, human, and deeply values-aligned.
Regenerative People Systems Consulting
We help organisations design people systems where care and wellness is woven into strategy, process, programs, culture.
Our Regenerative People Systems practice integrates leadership, HR, care, and wellness into the core architecture of how teams function — transforming burnout, fragmentation, and over-functioning into clarity, connection, and calm productivity. Our approach is both structural and soulful: we combine behavioural science, systems design, and emotional intelligence to build environments where people thrive, decisions flow and learning if safe.
Our Specialisation Areas
1. People Strategy & Architecture
Design people systems that reflect your purpose.
We align talent, roles, and reward systems with organisational rhythm — balancing equity, accountability, and motivation.
2. Organisational Wellness & Care Design
Make wellbeing systemic, not seasonal.
Through our CARE™ Maturity Model, we translate wellbeing into operational rhythms, reflection points, and policy design that protect energy and enable focus.
3. Culture & Behavioural Alignment
Turn values into behaviour.
We help organisations shift from performative culture work to embodied leadership — where how you work feels like what you stand for.
4. Emotional Sustainability Systems
Protect the people who hold the mission.
We embed feedback loops, reflection practices, and shared accountability mechanisms that keep teams emotionally resourced.
5. Energy Mapping & Capacity Diagnostics
See your system clearly.
We use holistic diagnostics to assess team energy, emotional climate, and workload balance — designing interventions that sustain performance without burnout.
6. Team Dynamic Healing & Trust-Building
Rebuild connection & g row capability with consciousness.
We facilitate honest, restorative spaces that transform tension into collaboration and renewed confidence. We design team processes that build awareness, trust, and adaptive strength — helping teams hold complexity with confidence.
7. Leadership for Care-Centred Culture
Model balance at the top.
We design leadership programmes, peer-learning cohorts, and mentoring systems that cultivate confidence, reflection, and collective intelligence.
We coach leaders to hold clarity and compassion together — creating psychological safety without losing performance edge.
The DOO U Difference
We don’t host wellness workshops — we engineer care into culture. Our work turns compassion into structure and wellbeing into performance infrastructure. Because when people feel safe, seen, and supported, they don’t just stay — they shine.

Cultures of urgency, over-functioning, perfectionism, or silence
Misalignment between values and lived experience

Social Impact & Philanthropy Consulting
We help funders, movements, and social investors design systems of giving that heal, not deplete.
Our Social Impact & Philanthropy Consulting practice reimagines how resources move — shifting from transactional grantmaking to transformational stewardship. We align strategy, structure, and story so that every rand, dollar, or hour invested strengthens equity, care, and long-term impact. From fund design to impact architecture, we help you hold complexity with clarity — ensuring your funding mechanisms and partnerships generate value, dignity, and balance on both sides of the table.
Our Specialisation Areas
1. Fund & Programme Design
Design funding models that empower.
We co-create fund strategies, selection frameworks, and partner criteria that reduce burden, build trust, and amplify local leadership.
2. Philanthropic Strategy & Advisory
Align intent with impact.
We guide foundations and donors to articulate purpose, focus portfolios, and invest in systems that last beyond a grant cycle.
3. Grantmaking Strategy & Advisory
Move from transactional funding to transformational partnership.
We guide funders and intermediaries to design grants, selection criteria, and reporting rhythms that reduce burden, build trust, and amplify local agency.
4. Movement Building & Partner Development
Invest in connection, not just projects.
We design participatory processes that strengthen coalitions, networks, and ecosystem resilience — turning grantees into allies and movements into infrastructure.
5. Narrative & Communications for Impact
Tell stories that restore trust.
We help funders and partners communicate impact with transparency and humanity — shifting the story from charity to shared change.
6. Impact Architecture & Learning Systems
Make meaning measurable.
We build integrated MEL frameworks and reflection systems that turn accountability into learning and learning into evolution.
The DOO U Difference
We bring the discipline of design and the empathy of movement work together. Our consulting turns measurement into meaning — and meaning into momentum. Because when impact systems are designed with care, they don’t just prove change — they propel it.
Contact us to address:
Fragmented impact frameworks and donor-driven MEL systems
Grants and programmes disconnected from learning and lived realities
Donor–partner relationships strained by power imbalance
Fragmented or compliance-heavy grant processes
Impact frameworks detached from context or care
Desire to shift from charity to justice, from transaction to transformation
Regenerative Strategy & Organisational Development Consulting
Strategy isn’t a document — it’s a living system.
We partner with leaders to build organisations that think clearly, act coherently, and evolve consciously. Our Regenerative approach blends systems design, behavioural insight, and care architecture to restore coherence between strategy, structure, people, and purpose.
We strengthen the frameworks and relationships that hold your mission — ensuring your people are resourced, your decisions flow, and your impact endures.
Our Specialisation Areas

Using our Scrabble™ Framework, we assess your landscape, environment, resources, leverage, risks...etc — translating complexity into clarity, and clarity into coordinated action. Build strategies that hold people as carefully as they hold performance.
2. Organisational Design & Structure Review
Align form with function.
We map roles, decision rights, and workflows so power, clarity, and care flow where they’re needed most.
2. Governance & Decision Architecture
So boards and leadership teams act as stewards, not bottlenecks.
We co-create governance models and meeting rhythms that balance accountability with trust — strengthening board relations and leadership coherence.
4. Change & Transition Design
Move from reaction to rhythm.
Using our AVATAR™ Change Model, we guide organisations through restructuring, growth, or succession with compassion, clarity, and pace.
