Ian Spare, President
Union of International Mountain Leader Associations
❛❛ UIMLA approached Governology in the context of a complex and sensitive situation within our international association. Having been impressed by their previous work and publications, we asked them to provide independent advice to help us sense-check our approach and guide our next steps.
Their advice was clear, well-structured and, above all, practical. In particular, their guidance on how to frame roles, responsibilities and lines of accountability proved extremely valuable in helping us navigate a sensitive and evolving situation.
While the underlying issues are not ones that can be resolved overnight, Governology’s input has given us confidence that we are acting in a considered and appropriate way, and continues to support us as we manage the situation.❞
