Advisory

What we do

We work on decisions that are difficult to reverse. Food security, supply chains, sustainability and the investments that follow from them.

Most of our clients already have data and analysts. The gap is between what the numbers say and what to do about them. That is where we work.

Food security and supply chains

Food security is never one problem.

Import dependence, sourcing, logistics, market prices and stock levels all move together. A change in one can show up somewhere else weeks later.

We help institutions see those connections and plan for disruption while there is still room to act.

Forecasting and decision analytics

A forecast is only worth having if it arrives while the decision is still open.

We work on the numbers and on the timing.

Investment and feasibility

A positive market story is not an investment case.

Demand, risk, economics and delivery all have to hold.

Sustainability, ESG and social impact

Reporting requirements arrived faster than most institutions could build for them.

We help clients meet them in substance rather than on paper.

ESG and climate

ESG strategy and reporting
Carbon footprint assessment
Net zero strategy and pathway planning
Climate risk and impact evaluation
Climate-resilient project design
Carbon offset project assessment

Social impact

How we work

Four working rules

We start with the decision.

Before any analysis begins, we agree what decision the work has to support, who takes it and by when.

We staff to the problem.

Each assignment draws on our network of more than 76 associate consultants and subject matter experts, matched to the work rather than to whoever happens to be available.

We write to be read.

The conclusions and what they mean come first. Method and detail sit behind them for those who need to go further.

We work where the work is.

English, Arabic and French, across the Gulf, MENA and beyond.

Project and retained work

Most assignments are project-based.

We also work on retained arrangements where an institution wants a standing source of independent analysis rather than a single report.
