What people say about us

Of lasting benefit in raising our strategic responses to climate change
"I have found working with Susan Alexander, David Ballard, Rupesh Shah and other ABL colleagues to be stimulating and productive. It has already helped us to improve our approaches to partnership working and, through this, will assist our Partners to raise their own strategic responses to climate change impacts and adaptation...."
Mark Goldthorpe, Manager, South East Climate Change Partnership.

Ambitious, high quality work offering great scope for new insight
"As I anticipated, the quality of this report (on behaviour change and water management) is very high. The length of the report allows for indepth analysis of issues and therefore considerable scope for new insight on the part of (this) reader. The report is also very ambitious in what it sets out to convey, and in its commitment to taking both the challenges of our time, and the opportunities for behaviour change,extremely seriously."
John Colvin, Head of Social Policy, The Environment Agency.

Inspiring collaborative working to encourage innovation
"Their innovation and commitment to the work has brought innovative and effective results for us and the partner organisations within the ESPACE project. Working with Alexander Ballard Ltd created an opportunity for us to pool resources and expertise to work in a collaborative and effective manner. This ensured excellent value for money as well producing outputs that were directed at our needs in a practical way. Their commitment to quality and service were really impressive."
Christine Seaward, Hampshire County Council, Environment Futures
Manager.

Powerful analysis, working with the big picture without getting lost
"I found the Alexander Ballard Ltd Five A's model of strategic change very memorable and with the capacity to crystallize many issues in ways that feel tractable and full of positive possibility without resorting to simplistic exhortation. David is one of the few people I have come across who can work with the big picture without getting lost in it or overwhelmed by it. He can frame challenges in ways that get beyond tiptoeing around problems."
