WECIL - Expert Impact

Dominic Ellison,

WECIL

Met with Richard Skaife

We are a disabled people’s organisation, run by disabled people and supporting other disabled people to live independently with the same choice and control over how they live their lives that others take for granted.

Richard Skaife was a perfect match. He was able to quickly drill down to where we are now, and shift our understanding of what we need to commission for our digital development. He shared his own professional learning and reached out to his personal network to link us with leading thinkers around the specifics of the technologies we need to implement. Richard demonstrated genuine enthusiasm for the work that we do and an interest in our success – our time together was valuable, as well as truly engaging and enjoyable.
