Research & technical consultancy services
Driving innovation.
Domain knowledge experts are essential when projects require highly specialised knowledge and/or a deep understanding of specific issues or regions. Their involvement ensures that interventions are effective, informed by the latest research, culturally sensitive, and tailored to local contexts.
A reliance on project-based or short-term funding, a lack of access to a large talent pool and high staff turnover can make it difficult to employ domain knowledge experts on a long-term or permanent basis. Bringing in external expertise can help organisations stay agile and responsive to emerging challenges by offering a blend of specialised knowledge and creative thinking from outside their immediate environment, ultimately driving innovation and accelerating problem-solving.
