Given rapidly changing global conditions, what future resources should be committed to providing an essential service or key infrastructure project, or to developing a viable business?  

To meet these challenges, we offer bespoke research and advisory services to island-based public and private sector clients.  The sourcing of primary data and information and drawing upon relevant best practice are key to the delivery of these services. 

Based in the Channel Islands, we are able to draw upon both public and private sector experience at the highest level within an island environment. This is a key strength during a time of recovery when re-invention and innovation in relation to economic, financial and social planning are high priority areas.

In addition, public/private partnerships will become more critical in the future and therefore appropriate skills sets in both sectors are essential.

Many common external and internal challenges now face island communities worldwide.  These range from geopolitical tensions and world trade to demographic age drift, from the ever-increasing cost of on-island healthcare provision to climate change.

However, there are also real opportunities for both public and private sector organisations to explore and adopt new strategies and policies.

Against this background, we are constantly identifying the main areas of concern and producing regular Reviews under our 'State of the Islands' brand.   These Reviews are freely available to download.
