Frontier Assessments

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING COMPLEX OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS FOR INVESTMENTS

We specialise in:

• geo-political due diligence & field-based country assessments

• strategic design & implementation

• research, analysis and synthesis of complex problems

• working by, with and through local leadership to design solutions for a stable project environment

• training based on the specific context of your work or travel

• investing in Africa, Central Asia, Middle East & the Indo Pacific region

APPROACH

Our approach enables clients to obtain a deep, contextual understanding of the relationships that run through the geo-political, country, local, tribal and cross-border networks, which can affect the long-term value or effectiveness of a project. We work with decision makers or project teams to neutralise threats to staff and assets regardless of the challenges that may eventuate. 

We can deliver strategic solutions, implementation of advice and training, designed to ensure personnel have a mindset that understands the context of the situation they face, remain adaptable and act appropriately.

Frontier Assessments can team with you or be deployed independently to analyse and determine the non-technical risks and then develop and design locally acceptable and internationally transparent, pragmatic solutions.

STRATEGIC METHODOLOGY

• Define the operating environment (strategic context & people)

• Describe the environment's affects and evaluate the risks

• Determine appropriate course of action

• Monitoring & Evaluation - doing things right vs doing the right thing

A continual cycle of adaptation by Observing, Orientating, Deciding and Acting for projects to remain resilient.
