We specialise in strategy that works. Our team has deep experience in designing and implementing strategies – for organisations, for sectors, and for communities. We translate your high-level aspirations into practical strategies that produce tangible, measurable results.
Strategies fail when organisations aren’t set up to land them - we help organisations improve their performance by ensuring strategies and operating models are in sync. Our deep expertise in diagnosing organisational issues and solving them using proven design and implementation frameworks will help you make lasting change that delivers results.
Changes in legislation or policy can deliver profound value – or unintended consequences. Bringing our expertise in rigorous, independent policy research, analysis, and advice, we help change the unknown to the known. We guide organisations through complex policy processes – from regulatory design through to major reform programmes.
Data and measurement are essential to good business decisions and outcomes. We design effective evaluation frameworks, generate data-driven insights, measure the effectiveness of programmes, and help organisations understand impacts to make evidence-based decisions.
We develop compelling business cases and successful Budget bids for a wide range of organisations. We draw insights from data to measure financial and social returns, and create investment frameworks that demonstrate value across financial, social, cultural, and environmental dimensions.
We are industry leaders in economic and financial analysis, modelling, and advice, bringing expertise in cost-benefit analysis, value for money assessments, and business case development. We advise clients on investment decisions to help them unlock growth opportunities, including major infrastructure, social services and regional development.
Enduring relationships founded on trust are the essence of our business. We help our clients connect with diverse communities and stakeholders so they can all realise growth opportunities. We partner with iwi, hapū, and Māori, and we support organisations to be effective and inclusive Treaty partners.
We're a values-driven organisation - they guide us every day.
Our work is usually hard, urgent or both. We thrive on challenge.
We ask the questions that lead to real insight and change.
We always remember that we're all people, each with our own story.
We team up with our clients, and we value the diverse experiences and inputs that different individuals bring to the work.
We're deadly serious about the quality of our work, but we also bring a sense of fun to our work.
