About
We help you to make better decisions by thinking strategically about the role of engagement, dialogue and research in your organisation.
We design and deliver tailored approaches to engaging the right people, at the right time, for the right budget, to give you insight into what matters to them.
Deliberate Thinking is run by Diane Beddoes, who has 30 years experience of dialogue, engagement and research. Before founding Deliberate Thinking, Diane was Chief Executive of Dialogue by Design and director at OPM.
Deliberate Thinking specialises in work that raises complex ethical and social questions. Our experience spans the big issues in science, transport, energy, health and social care and emerging technologies. Our objective is to support and deliver honest, open and thoughtful engagement. We think that relationships can be built, improved and sustained when conversations have clearly defined aims, the right approach is used and the right people are involved. Policy and corporate development and decisions are improved by an understanding of who they will affect and how.
