Strategic and Technical Advising

Governments and industry face challenges but also opportunities in developing conventional and non-conventional resources. In an advisory capacity, we help global jurisdictions navigate policy development and we provide tools for responsible resource management.

Develop strategies for responding to external pressures
Identify and analyze potential future scenarios and develop policy options to respond to those scenarios
Build capacity in the area of strategic policy development and implementation and providing training for mid- to senior-level staff
