We help you navigate the transition
to a post-industrial economy and culture

Situation

Policymakers and civil servants, nationally as well as regionally, are aiming to promote economic growth and job creation, ensuring industrial policy competitiveness, protecting against the risks of technology being used to harm people, and modernizing the civil service. To achieve this they are using consultants as well as doing their own research, and benchmarking with other countries and regions.

Change in the public sector is even more difficult to achieve than in large companies. Leaders in the public sector struggle to keep up with new developments, face demands for innovation-crushing regulation from a broad range of stakeholders, and are often bewildered by how technology is rewriting the rules for entire industries. While some countries such as Estonia have been remarkably successful with digital modernization of the public sector, many have billions of dollars invested in legacy systems and change does not come easy.

We help developing a post-industrial transformation strategy:

• Formulating a positive vision for the future
• Education on the post-industrial transition
• Advisory services on policy impact and benchmarking 

Such a strategy can result in:

• A more growth and innovation-friendly policy environment
• A stronger innovation brand for the country or region
• Increased economic growth and high-tech job creation
