Consulting Services

Economics and social policy have changed drastically in the past 15 years with many of the consensus policy prescriptions up to the 2000s being proven wrong in the aftermath of the 2008 GFC. With Master’s graduates from within the past few years, we bring up-to-date and current knowledge on policy issues and consequences, methodology, and analysis. We are also knowledgeable in public policy, domestic policy, and city-level policymaking from around the world.

Big data is often described as the oil of the 21st century, and we have the skills to actually tap into data sources where they exist and refine it into extremely valuable information. In studies, increase of just 10% in data usability showed up to 49% increase in productivity of organizations, and up to 42% increase in returns on assets. For businesses, deploying analytics across most of the organization and aligning operations with senior management goals led to a 1000% increase in ROI (Booz Allen Hamilton, 2015).

Unlike many competitors, we aren’t limited to statistical analysis of survey data and small datasets with SPSS and Excel – we have the expertise to find supporting sources of inaccessible data, clean and work with “messy” and big data using software like R, set up more advanced collection mechanisms, develop best-practices monitoring systems, carry out machine learning and AI analysis, and create beautiful interactive visualisations and dashboards.

During their public sector work, our partners have supported institutions such as regional hospitals in making structural and organisational changes, fully utilising available data sources, building monitoring mechanisms, and identifying ways to improve performance, serve more clients more effectively, all while reducing expenses. These performance improvements could be tracked, displayed, recognised, and used for things like justifying budget requests.

With experience at the heart of the policymaking and project decision-making apparatus in the Maldives, we can bring first-hand information of what you should do to improve your chances of success, prepare materials for you to include factors we know are considered, and help you develop frameworks for success.

We deliver the finished product. With us, you don’t have to spend time reworking it all over again. We don’t view our projects in a vacuum and will prepare our final reports and materials in the context of what you need to achieve your goals.

With our reports being professionally designed and publication-ready, you can impress without having to go through the extra steps of design. We include a practical and realistic implementation framework with our reports. We provide comments and FAQs, raw InDesign files, PowerPoint presentation, social media infographics, bullet point summaries, and interactive dashboards where applicable.

We will support you in connecting with other partners that can best meet your goals. We help local councils find interested NGOs and corporate sponsors, scout good sites for policy interventions and prepare proposals for NGOs to target their funds for maximum impact, bring on our partners to provide a full suite of services, and help foreign corporations successfully bid for projects and establish branch offices in the Maldives by providing our local on-the-ground expertise.
