OUR APPROACH
To meet a client's key business objectives and always enable sound judgements to be made on how to plan ahead at strategic as well as operational level, a flexible research framework and client interaction process are applied at all times.
1. Data Gathering
The ongoing analysis of latest international and national trends is all important. This work takes account of global economic and social projections, the ramifications of geopolitical tensions, the implementation of climate change strategy, and the level of infrastructure investment as well as effectiveness.
​
To assess the particular island impacts and risks resulting from these global influences, primary data and information from a broad sample of islands is also collected and interpreted on a very regular basis READ MORE.
2. Key Influencing Factors
Current factors negatively impacting island communities, thus increasing risk, are seen as:
-
An escalation of geo-political conflicts with major economic disruption and potential inflationary pressures being just two of the resultant consequences.
-
Ever-greater island dependency on just one economic sector such as 'Financial Services' or 'Tourism'.
-
A growing lack of political commitment in many countries to address the root causes of climate change with its associated economic, social, and environmental implications.
3. Client Interaction
Bespoke analysis and interpretation of specific island portfolios and economic, social and environmental subject areas can be commissioned by organisations on a one-off or retained basis.
In-house CPD accredited training seminars focusing on latest global trends, the resilience of island communities, and the increasing vulnerability of islands now dependent upon a single economic sector, are now offered to island-based organisations.
