Purpose Circle Studio
PC Launcher
Give your idea a real-world test.
Turn an impact idea, a persistent challenge or a new opportunity into a tested solution — with your team, real people and evidence to guide the next move.
4–6 months · Hands-on · Built around your challenge
A place to get unstuck
Important enough to matter.
Too busy to move?
Some ideas never leave the away-day. Some challenges return every year. And without evidence, making a big decision feels like a leap. The Studio creates the space, structure and team to move from “we should” to “we know what comes next”.
An idea waiting for its moment
You see the potential. You need a practical way to explore it without committing to full-scale implementation.
A challenge that keeps returning
You want to understand what is really happening and try a different response with the people affected.
A decision that needs evidence
You need more than a convincing presentation: something tested, with clear learning and a realistic next step.
The Launcher journey
Seven phases.
A clearer next move.
We clarify the challenge, develop an idea, build and test it, learn from the evidence and turn that learning into a way forward.
A consistent journey. Not a fixed checklist.
We agree the activities, intensity and outputs with you at the start. Phases overlap as the work develops.
Weeks below illustrate the four-month track (weeks 1–17). The programme can extend to six months to suit the challenge.
Agree what success looks like, who needs to be involved and how we will work together.
- Kick-off and project alignment
- Stakeholder mapping

How we work
Alongside your team.
Not another report from a distance.
Hands-on
We work with your team to make things happen, from the first conversation to the pilot and beyond.
Evidence-led
Research, testing and real-world feedback shape decisions — not assumptions alone.
Iterative
We make something, test it and improve it. Learning is part of the work, not an afterthought.
Tailored
The methods and team fit your context. We bring in the expertise your challenge actually needs.
The people behind the work

Meet our communityStrategy at every scale
Experience across national, regional and global programmes, with an understanding of what implementation takes.
Innovation, end to end

Sector insight & specialist talent
Experience across UN agencies, INGOs and foundations, with senior talent and experts from our network matched to your context.
Your next step
It’s been “about to start”.
Let’s give it a few months.
Bring the idea as it is — even if it is still a question. We’ll discuss the challenge, what you want to change and what a useful first test could look like.
Book a conversation- Typical duration
