We build Geopolitical Resilience

A systematic & comprehensive approach to Geopolitical Planning & Strategy

We offer strategic consulting services to the C-Suite or the Board, general counsel, government affairs teams, business unit leaders or corporate risk management.


We provide a holistic approach to analysis of current and future geopolitical and domestic political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental (‘PESTLE’) uncertainties and changes.  We work with clients to understand their mission-critical objectives before undertaking a comprehensive analysis of uncertainties that can impact those objectives, and integrate proactive and cross-functional planning to:

  • assess and identify critical risk categories, trends, assumptions and items to monitor, as well as evaluate influences on risks specific to your corporation
  • assist business teams incorporate strategic planning  and enhance mitigations for future geopolitical risks


Through our systematic approach, we seek to: 

  • provide holistic insights & foresight to enhance & empower better decision-making around future uncertainties
  • improve resilience and preparedness for the future, and
  • improve business and stakeholder outcomes and sustainability

5 pillars to better decision-making

1. Historical / Data Analysis

1. Historical / Data Analysis

1. Historical / Data Analysis

Mission-critical corporate goals are impacted by (geo)political, economic / financial, social / societal, technological, legal / regulatory / governance, or environmental (PESTLE) uncertainties in numerous ways.  We offer comprehensive, objective-driven data analysis to optimize operational & supply chain planning strategies and achievement of business goals.  Data changes over time (e.g. with changing political leader policies), so monitoring & updating facts / data is an on-going requirement.

2. Insights

1. Historical / Data Analysis

1. Historical / Data Analysis

Insights analyze why past events and/or data happened and what is changing.  

The analysis can include:  root causes, trend drivers & buffers, indicators, signals and noise, and emerging risks & unknowns.  It can also include developing options, reviewing internal & external reports, de-bias training, assumptions-testing, & risk concentrations.  All can be utilized for better predictive modeling of plausible future scenarios.

3. Strategic Foresight

1. Historical / Data Analysis

4. Accurate Forecasting

Strategic foresight involves envisioning plausible future scenarios across all PESTLE uncertainties, their impact on your strategy, and stress-testing the scenarios with contextual and insightful questions & answers from the world’s most consistently accurate forecasters in order to provide probability & outcome confidence analysis, feedback for predictive models, and better planning for those scenarios.

4. Accurate Forecasting

5. Risk Mitigation & Resilience Planning

4. Accurate Forecasting

This can be critical as most humans average only 40-55% accuracy (≈ coin flip odds) when making 90% confidence estimates of certain outcomes.

What if you could increase forecasting and decision accuracy around future uncertainties by 65% or more?

5. Risk Mitigation & Resilience Planning

5. Risk Mitigation & Resilience Planning

5. Risk Mitigation & Resilience Planning

In order to seize new opportunities and build resilience and even survivability in some operating locations, understanding potential futures is critical to planning for and deciding which business continuity or risk mitigation strategies can be most efficient or cost-effective.

=> Better Decisions

5. Risk Mitigation & Resilience Planning

5. Risk Mitigation & Resilience Planning

A comprehensive and contextual analysis of the past (data), the present (insights), possible futures (foresight and forecasting), and potential risk mitigations enables a better understanding of a corporations' future PESTLE uncertainties.  And that produces better decisions.
