RESEARCH

TRANSFORMING DATA INTO INSIGHTS & INSIGHTS INTO ACTION

Our research is integral to the work we do,

Einstein is quoted as having said, “If I had an hour to solve a problem I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions.”

We need to understand what challenges exist in our landscape to ensure we create meaningful change, the solutions we come up with.

CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS

DEFINE, DEVELOP, IMPACT

Our current research projects focus on better understanding the lived experiences of industry professionals ashore and at sea. Defining definitively the current challenges being faced, and by whom, will identify what's working, what opportunities exist for growth and what strategic impact looks like.

Is your voice being heard? Creating meaningful change will be a guessing game until we move beyond anecdotes and assumptions and drive change with quantitative and qualitative insights from across our sectors.
