Reports & presentations

Almost all our work culminates in some sort of written output and one or more presentations. We attach considerable importance to the quality of these deliverables: the greater the accessibility and intelligibility of our findings, the greater the likelihood of them proving useful and valuable.

Reporting

  • We work closely with clients to agree precise reporting needs.  We make careful allocation of resources for the drafting and editing of often complex outputs.
  • We prepare the full range of texts, from one page high-level briefings through executive summarys, full reports and technical annexes
  • Outputs are delivered in a variety of formats: as annotated slides, as print-ready documents, as databases, depending on research and client need
  • We perpetually experiment with the format of deliverables - using mind-mapping platforms, or hyper-linked documents, or modular reporting - so as to improve the accessiblity and useability of material

Presentations

  • Dependning on the length and complexity of a study, we may make one or a series of presentations.
  • We see presentations as means not only of transmitting findings and insights but of engaging with prospective users of material.
  • We always negotiate with our clients to agree the range, format and purpose of presentations.
  • We have experience of presenting in a variety of settings - from confidential briefings through to large-scale conferences - and always tailor our presentations accordingly.

  • Time to buy the Sustainable Development Commission?

    News that the government has decided to withdraw its funding for the Sustainable Development Commission is prompting comment in a number of locations.  I particularly enjoyed George Monbiot’s observation that the £1.9mn being saved is no more than ‘a rounding error’ on the Trident missile invoice. Having once been a Commissioner on the London Sustainable Development [...] 

  • Marketing to the marketers will be key for green claims guidance

    Our research for Defra on the prevalence and content of green claims was published recently. The study – along with our work on consumer understanding of green terms – is feeding into a revision of Defra’s green claims guidance for marketers, the consultation for which closed in June. While researching a possible follow up story, one [...]
