Your questions answered

Find answers to common questions about working with WISTE, from getting started and shaping your project to practical contracting arrangements.

Why should we engage WISTE?

WISTE can bring independent insight, specialist expertise and additional capacity. WISTE can help you take an objective look at current practice, address a specific challenge, progress work that has stalled or provide additional resource when internal teams are under pressure.

What types of organisations does WISTE work with?

WISTE specialises in UK higher and further education. Experience also extends to working collaboratively with health, public and third-sector organisations where the work intersects with learner wellbeing, inclusion and safeguarding.

How do we engage WISTE?

Start with an informal, confidential conversation about your priorities, challenges and timescales. WISTE can then help define the scope, intended outcomes, deliverables and approach before providing a clear proposal and quotation.

Do we need to have a fully defined project before getting in touch?

No. Sometimes the first requirement is to understand the problem or opportunity more clearly. WISTE can work with you to define the scope, identify priorities and determine the most proportionate approach.

Can WISTE support short-term or urgent work?

Yes, subject to availability. WISTE can provide additional capacity during periods of change, unexpected pressure or intensive delivery, as well as support for planned projects and longer-term programmes. We can provide short-term response to a situation and cover for unexpected eventualities.

Will you ensure recommendations are practical for our organisation?

Yes. WISTE combines evidence and sector insight with an understanding of organisational context. Recommendations are developed with consideration of your learners, people, resources, governance and strategic priorities, with an emphasis on achievable and sustainable action.

Can WISTE work within our procurement requirements?

Yes. WISTE is a limited company and can provide the business information and documentation required to support due diligence, procurement and contracting processes.

How much does it cost to engage WISTE?

Every assignment is different. Following an initial conversation, WISTE will provide a transparent proposal based on the scope, complexity, timescale and level of support required. This allows the approach and cost to be proportionate to your organisation and the outcomes you want to achieve. We can offer a range of tailored engagements from half day, full day or project commitment, depending on your requirements.
