Learning does not mean acquiring more information, but expanding the ability to achieve what we truly want
Your experience and reality are our starting point.
UBORA understands organisational learning as a commitment by an organisation to integrate learning into its organisational practices to improve them. This involves developing competencies, understood as a set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that enable organisations to adapt to increasingly complex and changing contexts, allowing them to influence and transform those contexts in turn.
We all have the capacity to learn, but often the organisational structures in which we operate are not conducive to reflection and engagement. Additionally, we may lack the tools and guiding principles to make sense of and navigate the challenges we face. Therefore, it is important to foster collective learning by increasing the organisation’s capacity to adapt and project itself in today’s context. This involves working with systems thinking, developing personal capabilities, and incorporating a shared vision—creating spaces for collective learning.
We support identifying your contribution to social change and transformation through your organisational purpose and mission, or through specific services, projects, or programmes. We offer advising and a software to help you understand, monitor, and report on the scope and results that lead to significant change and impact.
We work to ensure that projects not only meet their objectives but that the communities or individuals involved become the protagonists of the monitoring and evaluation process. We foster systems where these communities identify and lead the reflection on the actual and sustainable impact generated in their own realities. These systems aim to respect identities, histories, and struggles. Chevy Solís from the UBORA team facilitates these processes.
We facilitate the creation of strategic plans using a methodology tailored to each organisation and context.
We advise public administrations in the development, review, and improvement of master plans and sectoral strategies.

We support organisations in embedding a decolonial and anti-racist approach into their strategies, programmes, and projects. Chevy Solís from the UBORA team facilitates these processes.
We offer training in planning and MEL using a Theory of Change approach. We facilitate workshops to strengthen tools and skills for internal team management. (in collaboration with Joana Martínez-Mora).

We work collaboratively to design a monitoring and evaluation system, supported by software (OutNav), throughout the implementation of a project, program, or service.
We facilitate collective sense-making processes among different actors and stakeholders.
We design workshops that support alliance-building or networking in the context of programmes and projects, using tools such as, capacity works.
This allows for the use of data, evidence, and information to enhance learning and improve practices, creating the greatest possible transformative process. It also helps tell a strong story of how your work contributes to transformative change.
These systems are not only useful for accountability and reporting but should also support learning from practice.
We help optimise the organisation’s resources and capabilities. This may involve developing skills for managing team competencies beyond job descriptions, incorporating a shared vision, improving organisational processes, and creating collective learning spaces.
We see training as a space for collective knowledge exchange and construction, respecting diversity and encouraging dialogue and participation. Our goal is to strengthen both individual and collective capacities. We provide tools adapted to each organisation’s needs.
We encourage creativity and collective energy, creating an environment where the team feels committed, stimulated, and valued. We promote intercultural competence as a key tool for bridging different perspectives and enabling effective collaboration. We also foster self-awareness as a core element of individual and group growth, recognising the importance of reflecting on our own positions, privileges, and limitations.
Our methodology focuses on creating an inclusive and participatory space that enhances innovation and continuous learning, ensuring that outcomes not only meet expectations but inspire sustainable and transformative awareness.
Our training modules are flexible in format, length, and scheduling.
We facilitate the development of solutions and group functioning based on more fluid and empathetic communication.
