Strategic research & market intelligence
Published on 11 July 2025
Good decisions require good intelligence. Most workforce planning relies on outdated data, generic industry reports, or assumptions about labour market conditions that may no longer hold. Meanwhile, policy makers and business leaders need real-time understanding of how regulatory changes, technology shifts, and demographic trends affect actual capability and opportunity in specific places and sectors.
Our work involves:
- Labour market analysis — mapping role-level supply, demand, and capability gaps using both data and employer insight
- Sectoral research — identifying key trends, emerging capabilities, and business model shifts across priority industries
- Policy and regulatory scanning — tracking how government action affects opportunity, compliance, and workforce feasibility
- Place-based ecosystem mapping — understanding the interaction of workforce, infrastructure, and institutional capability in regions
- Commissioned intelligence products — developing briefings, white papers, and strategic reviews for clients and stakeholder groups
This intelligence work enables more sophisticated decision-making across public and private sectors. Regional development agencies need analysis that shows how workforce investments interact with infrastructure planning and industry development. Government departments require insights that connect policy settings to actual workforce outcomes. Industry bodies need research that helps members anticipate capability requirements and position for emerging opportunities.
Strategic intelligence transforms complex information into actionable understanding, enabling better decisions about where to invest, what to prioritize, and how to adapt to changing conditions.
