Who are we?
N-Create is an advisory consultancy with a renowned team with extensive experience supporting organisations and individuals to achieve long-term success across the health and social care sector.
We partner with you to help you achieve your goals by creating direction, building clear paths, and empowering you to have the confidence to do it yourself.
We are a black-led female consultancy contributing to diversity, equality, and inclusion and bringing unique perspectives and expertise. Collectively, these individual subject matter experts are a powerful force for change in transforming the health, social care, and criminal justice system.
Consultancy
We specialise in supporting health and social care organisations nationally with an excellent reputation for driving improvement, strategic design, and implementation of projects and services.
We offer a range of consulting services including strategic planning, leadership development, change management, organisational development, coaching skills, and development programmes.
Our comprehensive knowledge of effective practices is complemented by a valued evaluation team with extensive research experience and a pragmatic approach.
We have excellent relationships nationwide with local authorities, central government, the community, education, the criminal justice system, and the voluntary sector. As a result, we have an up-to-date picture of effective, emerging, and innovative practice which we will share with you.
Service Design and re-design
N-Create supports organisations in analysing the current service experience. This involves unpacking each step in the journey, considering touchpoints, identifying emerging pain points, and determining necessary actions. The goal is to build an accurate representation of the current state (as-is picture) to highlight and define critical aspects that require attention in the design or redesign of services, promoting alignment within the organisation.
We recognise that understanding complex services necessitates a comprehensive and detailed view of the system. This enables us to pinpoint missing connections, identify duplications, and highlight potential inefficiencies in efforts and resource allocation.
N-Create can help you with creating a system map that clarifies these aspects across teams and departments, fostering agreement on opportunities for improvement. We always take the time to reflect on the outcomes with key stakeholders and through collaborative efforts, we identify key goals and co-produce design or redesign initiatives.
Evaluation
Our evaluation team can help you explore and understand what is working and how to build on this to improve outcomes for children, young people, adults and families, whether an intervention, a pathway, or a whole system approach.
We create and execute adaptable evaluation methods that incorporate qualitative and quantitative approaches. We are highly skilled in undertaking primary research with families, exploring case files, reviewing practice, and interviewing family members.
We aim to assess service effectiveness, understand how and why it works, and identify opportunities. Through a collaborative partnership, we tailor bespoke evaluation approaches, encompassing the quantification of outcomes, impact, and cost-effectiveness to suit your needs.
Facilitation
We can support you by providing highly skilled, professional facilitator/s for your team away day, strategic planning day or to assist on a specific group work project.
Having an external facilitator offers major benefits and provides an unbiased viewpoint, offering a fresh and objective perspective on challenges and opportunities. We'll collaborate with you to create an engaging and inclusive plan that achieves your goals. Additionally, we'll work with the group to ensure commitment to decisions and action plans.
Facilitation services might include (but are not limited to):
Guide organisations through periods of change by facilitating discussions, addressing concerns, and ensuring a smooth transition.
Conduct workshops to promote diversity and inclusion, creating an inclusive and supportive workplace environment.
Facilitate sessions to map and analyse the customer journey, identifying touchpoints and areas for improvement in customer experience.
Facilitate project kick-off sessions to align team members, clarify project goals, and establish roles and responsibilities.
Facilitate performance review discussions, ensuring constructive feedback, goal-setting, and professional development planning.
Business Coaching
Business coaching can involve one-on-one sessions with executives and senior leaders of the organisation or group coaching with the team. We work with clients to facilitate partnership and whole-person approaches that help cultivate a collaborative and supportive environment within the team.
At N-Create, we acknowledge that leadership has no "finish line." We are all on a lifelong leadership journey, and each person's journey is unique to them.
We utilise the principles of Co-Active coaching which serves as a contextual lens to experience the leadership journey from different orientations. To help individuals and teams expand their sightline, step out of their comfort zones, and grow in ways that better support strategic planning, team dynamics, or specific operational challenges, ultimately improving overall business performance.
Ultimately, the key is to leverage the Co-Active model's core principles of partnership, curiosity, and whole-person focus to create a supportive and empowering coaching experience, whether the goal is improving business performance or enhancing leadership capabilities.

Cherise Morgan
(36)
I am a Specific Learning Difficulties Teacher and Assessor and have supported children with literacy difficulties in mainstream schools for the past three years. I also aim to work with adults and corporate businesses.
After becoming qualified and working as a self-employed person, I realised that I was essentially running a business. However, I lacked the necessary knowledge and training to manage it effectively. I needed guidance on how to handle being a sole trader, how to develop a suitable business model, and how to set achievable goals for the growth and expansion of my business.
I reached out to Sorayah at N-CREATE for assistance, and she promptly identified specific areas for improvement, starting with solid foundational tips such as securing insurance, hiring a reputable accountant, and developing strong Service Level Agreements. In addition, she guided me towards useful resources and government initiatives, which were beneficial to my business. Working with Sorayah has enabled me to establish realistic and attainable objectives for the near, medium, and long term and set out clear pathways to meeting those targets. As a female professional, Sorayah understands the intersection of being a working mother and provides great advice on scheduling and mapping out how to increase work productivity.
Since receiving coaching support, I feel more confident in discussing my services in a way that is suitable for different types of service users, such as individuals, schools, and corporate businesses. I have also revised my pricing scales and have clear and coherent systems in place for deployment, dependent on the specific needs of each service user.
I would highly recommend the services at N-CREATE!
