Strategy and insights

Modern organisations face complex questions. Are we investing in the right talent and assets? Are we capturing the opportunities brought about by technological change? How can we become more resilient and sustainable? Pandemics, climate change and global interdependencies are adding to the inherent challenges of running and growing successful organisations, and to maintaining successful infrastructure and economies. Our Advisory Services team works with you to bring new clarity to your situation, co-creating a strategy that will allow you to travel along a sure path.

Our work gives you the space to breathe, take a step back and make decisions that will take your organisation, your asset, or your economy forward.

How we work with you

We offer three levels of insight and expertise.

1. Foresight

Foresight offers a chance to explore the trends already reshaping your market and to use research to identify what lies ahead. Our Foresight team is a think tank for the built environment sector, able to thread multiple factors together to plot out complex future scenarios that can inform your immediate actions.

2. Client specific strategy

We deepen our understanding of your organisation and its context, before co-creating unique programmes of actions, investments, organisational or cultural change that will advance your position. We specialise in engagements that revolutionise the built and natural environment, from crafting pathways to net zero carbon to formulating inclusive economic development strategies, from quantifying the green jobs uplift of policies to developing technology roadmaps.

3. Implementation

We can bring insights to a project’s implementation, tightening the premise and supporting evidence for a given project, go-to-market strategy or investment/financing activity. As every organisation recalibrates in response to dominant global trends like digital transformation or climate change, we help translate these high-level pressures into a robust and credible plan of action, for C-suite leaders, investors, partners and regulators. In essence: we develop insights that will justify your investment in change.

Strategies in action

The best way to understand the breadth and value of our service, is to see how widely it can be applied:

Making business sustainable

The sustainable development agenda is a growing factor for all organisations, whether it’s understanding how to move to more sustainable use of resources, gaining value from waste through circular economy practices, decarbonising operations and embedding other climate change mitigations or many other related priorities. We can help you, combining business strategy with the deep technical knowledge required to model and define your response to sustainable development risks and opportunities.
