MVM Consultancy
Mutual value measurement consultancy package for individual co-operative and mutual enterprises
We recognise that implementing MVM involves a genuine commitment of time and resources for CMEs. To deploy the tool effectively will require leadership from senior managers, board involvement and ultimately engagement with your members. To help with this process, we have designed a consultancy service that can help you as a mutual leader to understand the tool, apply it to your firm, and begin to take advantage of it.
Our consultancy service is designed through a four-step package that is intended to save you time and money by providing support to your executives responsible for implementing MVM. In the current social distancing environment, it can all be delivered via video conferencing and online methods.
