Consulting
We have combined our unusual training and research background with our unique insights into systems thinking and planning to create a consulting framework and general model for conducting various forms of research and design development on a contractual basis.
The consulting framework we have developed is based upon the adaptive application of a general metasystems model that is various applied and articulated in different configurations within each subsystem framework, as well as the cross-disciplinary collection and coordination of data, knowledge and expertise relating to complex heterogeneous problem sets. This model is derivative of natural systems theory and metasystems scientific operations, combining methodologies adopted from anthropological fieldwork, systems analysis, cybernetics, control theory and game theory, and applied to a wide range of problem sets at different levels of natural systems stratification.
We offer therefore an independent consultancy, non-academic and applied, without vested interests in any single framework or perspective or compromised commitments to the status quo of any established system. We strive to offer our services in a professional manner reflecting the highest ethos and ethics and in respect for the local, regional and international laws and customs of the culture and society within which we operate.
We have a broad base training in a variety of field methods that can be deployed to meet the needs of a range of problem sets:
Bibliographic Research & Scholarship

Traditional Ethnographic Methods
