The intractable developmental challenges confronting the world today diminish the quality of human capital. In any society, its people are its greatest source of wealth. Human capital – the education, skills, and health of people – will play a pivotal role in the transformation of countries and their economies, setting them firmly on the path towards sustainable human development. Each developmental challenge is unique. It represents an opportunity to define the future, generate cutting edge concepts, propose audacious new strategic approaches, promote innovation, broker creative solutions, inform the right set of smart, long-term    investments and spur action to advance sustainable human capital development. Developing human capital requires a massive and coordinated effort to strengthen the quantity, quality, efficiency, and impact of investments in people. It requires innovative advice, services, solutions, and partnerships with visionary leaders and organizations to define the future, break intergenerational cycles of vulnerability and poverty, achieve extraordinary outcomes and transformational change, and realize the potential of both present and future generations.

Understanding when, where and how to use data is complex. We work with our clients to translate data into actionable insights to challenge orthodoxy, inform strategy, improve design and implementation of evidence-led interventions, monitor outcomes, improve cost-effectiveness, and measure impact. We provide rigorous evidence to improve social sector programs and help clients understand how to use data to inform decisions large and small, within time, budget, operational, and political constraints.

These five core principles guide the work we do, underpin who we are, and shape our interactions with clients and partners 

We only sign up for assignments that align with our vision and values. We approach every effort with passion and the full expertise of the organization. This leads to strong, trusting relationships and deep, multi-year engagements that help our clients and partners achieve more robust results.

Well-functioning systems offer multiple benefits and represent the best way to achieve large-scale, sustainable results because they deliver a wide range of benefits to many people, especially the most vulnerable in society. They are durable, able to withstand shocks and most importantly, they are self-sustaining. 

We believe that local change agents – government officials, civil society leaders and social innovators – are the people who can bring about lasting change. They are the primary focus of our work. We listen attentively to what they need, build on existing expertise and work alongside them to generate knowledge and resources that can be applied to real-world problems. We offer fresh perspectives, global evidence, customized learning experiences that combine deep subject-matter expertise with real-world perspectives, process support and coaching, but we leave decisions to them. 

Most developmental challenges require cross-sector collaboration and solutions to optimize efficiency and impact. We seize opportunities that are ambitious, strategic, scalable and have relevance beyond a specific context to be game-changing. We support collaboration and forge partnerships between government entities, business and civil society. We are driven by results and believe that execution and delivery are just as important as policy and deserve equal attention and prestige. We provide support to see programs through to laser focused, quality implementation.
