Rizwan Tayabali: Profile: Consulting & Advisory

Successful change is usually made up of two components

A methodology / solution that will work
An organisational design that enables you to deliver it effectively

If you're involved with social projects of any description and are facing challenges or roadblocks at any stage, feel free to contact me for help.

See my Projects & Experience page for the regions and social domains I've worked with around the world.

Rates are negotiable depending on the size of your entity, and now that I work full time with Make A Difference I generally do this pro-bono in whatever spare time I can find, so feel free to ask.
