Introducing Insight Consulting
“I think the artistry lies in having an insight into what we see around us.
Putting things together in a way that no one else has before.”
Steve Jobs. Entrepreneur
Approach
Insight uses our dedicated “3i” team - Insight, Information and Intelligence - to underpin and develop effective solutions for our clients. Our analysts use multisource information and privileged insights as a basis to produce usable intelligence, to improve decision making and to enhance solution design.
Insight. Information. Intelligence.
We call this approach 3i as it combines Insight, Information and Intelligence. Everything we do starts with gathering multisource information. Our analysts add privileged insights as a basis to produce usable intelligence. This improves decision making and enhances client-specific solution design.
3i combines:
- Granular data
- Privileged insights
- Prediction and scenario analysis
