Thought Leadership

We believe that our theoretical work must have practical impact. Our Thought Leadership work focuses on issues that parallel and intersect with our consulting work to create a broader knowledge base from which to develop impactful solutions. Studying a problem and reporting on it are not the end of our work, they provide the evidence necessary to develop innovative solutions frameworks and inspire action.

Our Thought Leadership work broadly fits into four categories of action:

• Invention: Identifying new and better solutions to a present problem.
• Transmission: Disseminating information that highlights and integrates the problem, along with real-world cases that display key solution elements.
• Adaptation: Modifying invented and transmitted ideas to fit a specific challenge in a particular country by intertwining the portable elements with local facts, needs, and desires.
• Synergy: Bringing together what we see and hear and read about these ideas – critiques, challenges, improvements, variations, and endorsements – to catalyze progress in our field.
