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, the following flexible research frameworks and client interactions are offered:
1. Data Gathering
The 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. Client Packages
​​As our island research work is ongoing, three research packages can be considered.
Level 1 - A latest overview of economic and social conditions relevant to the island that the client organisation is based and sector it falls within.
Level 2 - In addition to the Level 1 overview, this package also includes the benchmarking of a range of similar islands in terms of economic and social performance and trends.
Level 3 - This level is the most comprehensive package and covers both Levels 1 and 2 as well as focusing on the identification of best practice in relevant island communities.
3. Bespoke Outputs
Bespoke analysis and interpretation of specific island portfolios and economic, social and environmental subject areas can be commissioned by clients on a project-by-project or retained basis.
In-house CPD accredited Seminars focusing on latest global trends, the resilience of island communities, and the increasing vulnerability of islands now dependent on a single economic sector, are available to island-based organisations. To find out more about the Seminar programme - READ MORE
