Research and innovation
Support for applied research and translation of findings for public and private decision-makers.
The problem
Applied research in management and development economics struggles to cross the distance that separates it from public decision-making.
Our approach
We anchor knowledge production in a network of practising experts, and we turn it into formats decision-makers can actually use.
Method
01Scoping
Interviews with stakeholders, document review and precise definition of scope. This step ends with a scoping note agreed before any work starts.
02Diagnostic
Analysis of the current situation against the applicable framework. Findings are supported by evidence and presented in a working session.
03Design
Development of arrangements, tools and procedures, built together with your teams rather than delivered as an external document.
04Support
Assistance with implementation through to the first deliverables your teams produce independently, with transfer of skills.
