Strategic global insights

We provide regular briefings to clients (Boards, leadership teams, strategy teams, government affairs, and others) on global economic and geopolitical issues, as well as on dynamics in specific industries and markets that are relevant to our clients.  The focus of these briefings is agreed with clients.

These briefings can be combined with an ‘on-call’ service in which we are available to respond to questions or issues as they arise.  This ‘chief economist for hire’ service is a flexible, cost-effective way of building additional economic and geopolitical capability into client organisations.

These briefings are supported by weekly notes on global economic, geopolitical, and policy developments – with commentary, original data, and sharp implications.  A sample of these notes can be viewed here, and additional notes are available on request.

These insights and briefings to clients are generally provided on a retained basis, with several engagement options available. 

In addition, we also deliver one-off presentations on global economic and geopolitical issues to firms, investors, industry groups, conferences, and others.

Commissioned analysis

We undertake commissioned analysis on a project basis, generally relating to the implications of global economic and geopolitical dynamics.  For example:

  • We work with client teams to develop or review strategy, and frequently provide in-depth support on scenario planning.

  • We support client decision-making around market strategy and supply chain locations, as firms adapt their geographic footprint in response to economic and geopolitical dynamics.

  • We provide transaction support e.g. due diligence, providing economic and geopolitical analysis on the risks and returns associated with specific assets and markets.

  • We provide support to governments on the development of economic strategies as countries seek to position in a changing world; as well as on various other economic policy issues.  We have a focus on small advanced economies, which are deeply exposed to global forces.  This work is based on extensive proprietary data and research as well as decades of advisory experience.
