Strategic elevation, grounded insight
Like the kāhu soaring above the landscape, we offer both elevated perspective and keen observation of the ground below. We combine analytical rigour with practical wisdom gained through deep engagement with people, places, and practices.
Our expertise spans from high-level strategic vision to hands-on implementation. Through careful observation and active listening, we uncover what truly works - not just in theory, but in practice. We transform complex regulatory, environmental, and market challenges into strategic opportunities.
Our approach recognises that lasting solutions emerge from understanding the whole system - from boardroom strategies to boots-on-the-ground realities. We challenge the notion that progress demands trade-offs between economic, environmental, and social-cultural values. Instead, we help organisations find the sweet spots where these forces align to create enduring value.
Our experience spans environmental planning, policy analysis, legislative development, strategic planning, and economic modelling. Working collaboratively with organisations, communities, hapū, and iwi, we combine analytical depth with system-level insights to help navigate complex challenges around climate adaptation, resource management, and regional development.
Environmental and strategic planning teams grappling with climate adaptation, resource management, and regional development face increasingly complex challenges. We combine analytical rigour with system-level insights to illuminate connections and opportunities. Whether analysing climate impacts or evaluating policy options, our approach integrates quantitative evidence with understanding of regional dynamics to reveal strategic pathways forward.
Land-based businesses face evolving environmental requirements and changing market expectations. Our analysis combines econometric modelling with deep understanding of sector dynamics to reveal strategic opportunities.
Sector bodies leading industry transition need to understand both systemic trends and strategic opportunities. We combine macro analysis of environmental and market trends with sector-specific insights to illuminate potential futures.
Policy and evaluation teams need robust analysis that accounts for real-world complexities. Our approach combines sophisticated analytical methods with insight into how policies interact with existing systems.
