Capabilities
How we help leaders and practitioners prioritise and prepare for the unforeseen
At MI, we incorporate quantitative methods with a participatory future-oriented process to deliver forward-looking insights and policy recommendationsthat support and drive broader strategic plans.
MI’s offerings complement each other and can be amalgamated into a comprehensive three-phased process, that can be reconfigured to fit our client’s needs.
Research
MI’s urban analytics scans the landscape for appropriate comparative assessments that grounds longer-term benchmarking and tracking.
It then dives into data to understand the wider context of systems and stakeholders.
With bespoke analyses that focus on best-fit before best-practice, cities are equipped to make measured progress in their own way.
Foresight
MI’s foresight scans for drivers of change that might alter trajectories and challenge assumptions.
A participatory approach to evidence-based scenario building unveils blindspots and unpacks potential implications.
By asking more impactful questions about the future, truly coherent strategies are formed so cities stay in tune with emerging realities.
Implementation
MI integrates insights into ecosystems through urban strategy development and capability building.
Forecasting, risk modelling and policy evaluations (e.g. trade-offs, costs and benefits, ROI) ensure their efficacies.
When approaches are rigorously stress-tested and refined, cities can fortify their pathways towards sustainable growth and resilience.
