Given rapidly changing global conditions, what future resources should be committed to providing an essential service or a key infrastructure project, or to developing a viable business?
To meet these conditions, 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 paramount to the successful delivery of these services. Two important initiatives we are currently focusing on are set out below.
Island Impact & Risk
Many common external and internal challenges now face island communities worldwide. These range from geopolitical tensions and world trade concerns to demographic age drift, infrastructure funding, labour shortages, and climate change.
Against this background, we have launched - ISLESTAT - our 'Island Impact & Risk' Review service available on a retained basis to organisations located in Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Bermuda, and Cayman.
This resource supports and enhances strategic (Board level) and operational decision-making. The service also enables clients to achieve a more targeted approach to areas such as service delivery, human resource allocation, marketing, and the identification of new business opportunities.
VISION CI
Pan-Channel Islands' Integration of Services and Resources
Vision CI is an initiative we have launched to identify the real benefits of a greater integration of services and resources on a pan-Channel Islands basis. Following two very successful presentations on the concept, we are now embarking upon the next stage of the project which opens up constructive dialogue with potential stakeholders and interested parties and tests the evidence already gathered.
The initiative is to highlight the vulnerabilities facing the Channel Islands and where the adoption of 'economies of scale' policies would be most appropriate across all of the islands to meet ever greater external and local challenges. Above all, the primary objectives are to achieve better and more efficient service levels, take advantage of merged economic and social functions, and save money.
