ISLAND BEST PRACTICE
Global tensions and volatile economic, social, and environmental conditions are now a significant long-term concern. Island communities, in particular, are generally less resilient than their mainland counterparts when it comes to adapting to negative influences beyond their control. This increasingly unstable situation is presenting real challenges for island administrations and island-based organisations.​​
PRIMARY FOCUS
Island economic, social, and environmental research and analysis specifically to inform and enhance organisation strategy and operational planning are our primary focus.
Bespoke research and interpretation of key island portfolios and subject areas can then be commissioned on a retained or project-by-project basis. DETAILS HERE.
Fully accredited CPD seminars focusing on latest global trends, the resilience of island communities, and the increasing vulnerability of islands now dependent upon a single economic sector, are available in Jersey, Guernsey, and Isle of Man. DETAILS HERE.

EXPERIENCE
Many years of island research and analytical experience globally enables the identification of island best practice, wherever it is being applied, to be a primary component of our work.

ANGUS KEMP
Chris (Principal Advisor) has worked at the highest level of island government in strategic planning, economics, tourism, and utilities.

In the private sector, his primary aim over a number of years has been the development of a unique island research capability which not only benchmarks economic, social, and environmental strategies but also monitors resilience and best practice. He has given presentations on these subjects at several international events and to a number of global organisations.

Complementary skills are provided by Angus who is a qualified Chartered Accountant and deeply involved in island accounting, financial planning, and training for over a thirty year period.
