STATE OF THE ISLANDS
Global tensions and volatile economic, social, and environmental conditions are a significant long-term concern and, island communities in particular are generally less resilient than their mainland counterparts in adapting to negative external factors outside their control. This increasingly unstable situation presents real challenges for island administrations and island-based organisations.
CORE FOCUS
Island research and analysis specifically to inform, support, and enhance client business strategy and operational planning is one of our primary focus areas DETAILS HERE.
Key weekly 'State of the Islands' Reviews will be available either by subscription or purchased individually from September onwards.
We offer fully CPD accredited Seminars to organisations based in Jersey, Guernsey, or Isle of Man. These concentrate on latest global trends, island resilience, and the vulnerability of islands increasingly dependent upon a single economic sector.
OUR 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.

ANGUILLA now earns tens of millions of dollars annually from its .ai country-code top-level domain, driven by the global artificial intelligence boom. This revenue funds roughly 47% of the island's overall budget, transforming its economic outlook.
The SEYCHELLES and the European Union have now signed a new Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement (SFPA) protocol renewing the partnership for a further four years and ending uncertainty for the EU tuna fleet in the Indian Ocean.
Tourism in the AZORES has now declined for nine consecutive months due to the loss of flights and airline competition. Immediate action to address the decline is now called for by the local Chamber of Commerce and the hospitality sector.
