2021 research agenda
As systems thinkers we constructed our research agenda mindful of how each topic interconnects and the benefits of combining them, as well as the problems of doing one without the other.
Organisational culture
Culture, leadership and diversity hub

Together, and when used effectively, we believe these two elements will create a clear measurable edge for an investment organisation.
