Consultancy
Whether you’re starting a community, or looking to take one to the next level; I can help. Reach out to me to find out how I can support your community to grow.
Workshops
Need to train community leads or organise your community? I can deliver off-the-shelf or bespoke workshops. Alternatively, I also offer expert facilitation services.
Community Consultancy
I have spent years consulting on community for firms in the private and public sector. I have worked with small design agencies and faith based organisations, to large conglomerates.
I can help with starting communities, fine-tuning them, recruiting, measuring success, through to choosing platforms.
“Imran led a community programme, in a complex environment, across our 34 bodies. He helped transform our organisation’s culture, and helped us see the value of community and belonging.”
Nabeela Rasul, Chief of Staff, Defra
Workshops and Facilitation
I have a deep understanding of learning processes from years working as a teacher and curriculum lead. I can create programmes of learning, that are fun, engaging and deliver complex ideas in a digestible manner. I can craft these to be delivered to groups of any size, whether online or in-person; I have extensive experience of both.
I also love facilitating sessions. I have a warm and chatty style that puts people at ease, and gets them ready to learn. I bring the same style to MC’ing, having hosted several events, from large conferences, community events, to internal staff conferences.
“Imran is one of the most naturally gifted facilitators I have come across. He is an expert in creating an environment for productive conversation and free-flowing ideas.”
Tim Paul, Head of Interaction Design, GDS
Public Speaking
I regularly speak at conferences and events on topics such as community, culture change, service design, organisational design and equality issues. I have delivered talks for private sector, international governments, community groups, charities and several conferences. Clients and conferences have included the BBC, Defra, DLUHC, the Japanese Digital Agency, Community People’s unconference, Camp Digital, Service Design in Gov and the World Design Assembly.
I can create bespoke talks, or adjust one of the talks I will be delivering in that calendar year.
“Imran’s talk was perfect for the audience. It’s not easy to get really useful content over a short talk, but Imran achieved it with flair.”
Caroline Jarrett, Director, Effortmark Ltd
