We take a flexible and tailored approach to strategy and analysis for places.
In today's landscape, we recognise the need to accelerate progress into projects, interventions and impact, with time for extended development processes increasingly rare.
We combine rigorous insights with a deep and practical understanding of how to make local change happen, to define genuine priorities and actions. For successful and sustainable delivery, we believe that consensus across the institutions, businesses and communities invested in your place is essential. We do this by working closely, collaboratively and iteratively with you and your key stakeholders from the outset, building strong partnerships to make things happen.
We work with cutting edge data and techniques to provide groundbreaking, intuitive analysis. We believe that evidence is the foundation of good policymaking, and that meaningful local priorities must be rooted in an accurate assessment of local need and opportunity. We use the right tool for the right question, drawing on a range of data and developing new bespoke methodologies to meet your requirements.
We bring a breadth and depth of policy expertise to develop robust and viable interventions. Our team includes experts covering the full range of economic development policy areas, including sectors and clusters, skills and employment, innovation, investment, infrastructure and regeneration, housing and land, health and prevention. We know what works and what doesn't and so can help you make plans for your local economy that will make a real difference, working to your realistic strengths, constraints and opportunities.
