about us
The Origins
The Grubb Institute
The Grubb Institute was established in 1957 when it first worked with issues of faith, life and education in people’s working lives, before moving into consultancy assignments and applied research projects with universities, research bodies and management consultancies.
The Institute took on critical social issues, through work with the Prison Service, the Transition to Working Life Program for the unemployed and even work with the Communities in Northern Ireland during the height of the Troubles.
In time, key frameworks and methodologies arose out of the experience gained in transforming Institutions. This led to the development of the Transforming Experience Framework. Since then, these conceptual frameworks and methodologies have been continuously tested, redeveloped and adapted in education, health and social care, business, industry, government agencies, the voluntary sector and religious organisations.
Grubb champions the exploration of connectedness, with the belief what we seek and all the resources required to fulfil it are already there, it is simply us who are blocking them. By fostering this spirit in people and systems and by trusting the intelligence of the collective, Grubb recognise we can connect and release these resources for a greater good.
