Ready.

Getting ahead of challenges. Being prepared with the right knowledge and strategy. Focused on our service offering in Resilience, risk management and disaster preparation.

For Good.

For social good. For the long term. For better outcomes at every decision. Sustainable, long-lasting’ AND societal, environmental good outcomes, wellbeing and resilience.

What We Do & Why 

We foster (1) resilience and future readiness (2) by connecting (3) people, planet and place (4). 

1.

Our approach is growing the capacity of people & institutions – not building reliance. 

2.

We make sense of change globally, with a focus on helping local decision makers and communities look forward, plan and predict, and grow their resilience against disasters and societal stresses. 

3.

Getting ahead of challenges means growing resilience through strengthening, connecting & empowering – particularly at the local level. 

4.

Our part in shaping the future-ready and inclusive world we want to see is by using our expertise to help grow resilience holistically – across the social, cultural, economic, built, natural and emergency/safety domains of our society. (people, place, planet).
