Supporting ambitious change in challenging times.

As we enter a new year, we find ourselves reflecting on nearly twenty years of practice and on the changing realities facing the organisations we work with.

Over two decades, Nomad RDC has worked extensively across the education, workplace, and cultural sectors. We have designed innovative spaces, collaborated with people to imagine better futures, gathered insight from thousands of participants, and shared our methods through publications, presentations, and products.

Like many practices, our work has evolved in response to wider economic and social change. Following the global recession, we adapted from delivering large-scale capital projects to supporting organisations through co-design, visioning, and people-centred research. This shift has shaped who we are today and positioned us as specialists in helping organisations navigate complexity, constraints, and change.

In the current post-pandemic context, many of our clients are operating in a risk-averse, financially constrained environment, while facing rising expectations and the need to achieve more with fewer resources. In response, we have developed a set of new services designed to be flexible, proportionate, and genuinely useful in this climate.

We would like to share these with you.

Practical, ready-to-use resources based on our Design Jam methods, designed to build local capability and support confident, inclusive decision-making.

Short, focused research and engagement activities that provide clarity, insight, and evidence at pace.

Tiered offers, from rapid audits to longer-term roadmaps, help organisations assess and evolve spaces, services, and communications.

Facilitated sessions for senior leaders to align priorities, reflect on challenges, and plan next steps.

Embedded support over 18 to 36 months, shaped around smaller, high-value interventions that sit below procurement thresholds.

Hands-on workshops and tailored training to strengthen engagement, participation, and collaborative decision-making skills.

Flexible, day-by-day access to Nomad’s expertise in innovative learning environments, activity-based workplace strategy, and people-centred processes, providing targeted support exactly when it is needed.

Together, these services reflect our response to a changing landscape. Designed to support organisations facing tighter resources, higher expectations, and increasing complexity, they offer flexible, people-centred ways to gain clarity, build capability, and make confident decisions.

From quick insights and targeted expertise to longer-term partnerships and embedded support, our focus is on helping clients innovate with purpose, adapt sustainably, and deliver meaningful change.

If you would like to learn more about our new services, get in touch - we would be very happy to continue the conversation!
