About IN FINE FEATHER Consultancy

Our Expertise

At IN FINE FEATHER, we have decades of experience in both the Public & Private Sectors. We specialize in providing Gold Standard services to Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Groups in areas such as business consultancy & suite management, strategy, implementation and operations. We welcome you to the Pursuit of Excellence. Our expertise - strategic insights, smarter solutions, and measurable growth is your solution.

Our Team

Our team at IN FINE FEATHER CONSULTANCY is made up of highly skilled professionals with diverse backgrounds. Our Principal Consultant, Cheryl Lambert, set the Gold Standard in Business across multiple sectors and leads our In Fine Feather Team. We work together to provide our clients with tailored solutions that meet their unique needs.

Our Approach

At IN FINE FEATHER, we take a results-driven, holistic approach to everything we do. We work closely with our clients to understand their goals and challenges, and develop solutions that address their specific needs. Our approach is collaborative, transparent, and built with purpose. We acknowledge the First Nations principles of OCAP™, individually and as communities, which stand for Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession. These principles are foundational for First Nations' data governance and assert their rights over data collection, ownership, and application.

Ownership: First Nations collectively own information about their communities and cultures, similar to how an individual owns personal information.
Control: First Nations have the right to control all aspects of their data, including collection, management, and dissemination.
Access: First Nations must have access to data about themselves and their communities, regardless of where it is held.
Possession: While related to ownership, possession refers to the physical control of data. Possession can strengthen and protect ownership rights.

OCAP™ is a tool for self-determination, allowing First Nations to make decisions about why, how, and by whom information is collected, used, or shared. It also highlights the importance of these principles in research, policy development, and community planning.
