Now Nominated for CPD Provider of the Year
Our focus is on delivering practical expertise
Since then, we have served dozens of clients and hundreds of training participants to build knowledge, skills, and resilience. Whether we’re working with the NHS, local councils, charities or SMEs, our focus is on delivering practical expertise – and enabling success by combining our years of experience with best practice. Our team has been at the front line of delivering the change you want, which means that our primary aim is always to ensure you get the benefit of living positive change rather than simple textbook knowledge. We make sure that you come away feeling independent, knowledgeable, and confident.
Our Mission and Values
We are here to enable people, teams and organisations to achieve more and better, through the development of core skills and systems that drive success and sustainability.
We exist to promote good governance across organisations large and small. That’s because, at its core, our experience is that those with effective governance and compliance systems are more likely to:
- be agile in the face of changing conditions;
- plan ahead more effectively;
- work together more collaboratively;
- avoid pitfalls;
- build trust among stakeholders; and
- overcome challenges.
How? By becoming more efficient, stronger and proactive.
Who We Are
Our team began when two friends, Michael and Amy, decided to work together to bring their skills and knowledge to a wider team. With decades of experience between then across the public, private and charity sectors, their ambition was to use that experience with a wider range of people to build world class governance systems.
Since then, the team has grown, with colleagues joining us to support delivery for clients, delivery of training, and the development of our resources, materials, and events that drive that ambition forward.
Michael Wuestefeld-Gray, co-founder and Managing Director, says: “I couldn’t be luckier to have the team, clients and partners I’ve worked with over the years. The dedication of my colleagues, the focus on the success of our customers, and the experience we have had working with them has been second to none.”
Our Services
We bring value through two key offers:
- working directly with clients through audits, project delivery, and long-term relationships; and
- delivering training to people at all levels to give then the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.
Being a small business, focussed on your needs, we offer maximum flexibility by allowing people to build their own solutions through blending these two offers in the way that suits them.
Our core expertise:
- risk management;
- information governance and GDPR;
- freedom of information; and
- conflicts of interests.
Our aim, whatever you ask us to do and whatever the area of focus, is to:
- motivate people to achieve their goals;
- given them a sense of optimism and positivity about themselves and the future;
- make governance, risk, and compliance come to life and be seen as enablers, not barriers;
- reduce costs, effort and time; and
- provide access and information that helps the transition from the theoretical to the day-to-day.
Our Commitment
As our name suggests, we are above all solutions orientated. The team is committed to delivering the highest possible standards of delivery, with a tireless focus on your needs and outcomes. We don’t just conduct training and then disappear – we build a close working relationship with every client to ensure things are as smooth and simple as possible from start to finish. This dedication extends well beyond the initial training, with follow-up advice and sharing of resources an integral part of our service..
As well as this, we are proud to have signed up to support the United Nation’s Development Goals, and we give a portion of our income to deliver projects in the UK and abroad.
The WuDo Community
Because building relationships and sharing the benefit of our experience are our core values, there are many ways in which you can engage with us and be part of our community.
Our website is full of information, guidance and free resources for you to use and adapt, and these are constantly being updated and refined to reflect developments in best practice and society at large.
We also run a series of free, focussed events on a range of topics to help explore and tackle significant issues, such as our webinars on risk management specifically for small businesses.
In addition we also offer free or discounted training for those working in the charity sector – contact us if you’d like to learn more.
Finally, we have a fantastic newsletter full of advice, interesting articles and exclusive offers such as discounts on courses and priority access to events.

TRAINING
Everywhere we worked, we noticed the emergence of a similar theme: a lack of good knowledge or foundation in key governance activities that kept organisations from performing at their highest level.
To effectively deliver improvements, it became clear that we needed to be able to develop and deliver training to front line, managerial and board level staff. Following this revelation, Wuestefeld and Doyle began researching what people in the sectors they served needed and wanted from their training. This insight was used that to develop WuDo Solutions, an organisation dedicated to providing world class training across the spectrum of good governance to people at all levels.
Participants in open courses, online learning and in-house courses gain tools, techniques and resources that can immediately be put into practice to help their organisations develop effective governance systems and deliver better services. All WuDo courses are delivered by trainers with years of hands-on experience and expertise that they have gained from both professional qualifications and through designing governance systems directly for the sectors they serve.
