Services

Advisory shaped around the decision in front of you.

Each engagement draws on SGHI’s six capability areas. The shape of the work follows the institution: what must be understood, designed, enabled, and sustained.

01

Strategy, Policy & Governance Advisory

Supporting strategic planning, policy design, institutional reform, governance frameworks, and accountability mechanisms.

The work can include

  • Strategic planning and investment prioritisation
  • Policy design and development
  • Institutional reform
  • Governance frameworks
  • Accountability mechanisms

Questions we help hold

  • Where should this institution concentrate over the next planning cycle?
  • Which policy options are credible given the mandate it actually holds?
  • What governance and accountability arrangements will let a decision hold?

02

Systems, Data & Evidence

Strengthening information systems, data architecture, analytics, evidence generation, and decision-support capabilities.

The work can include

  • Information systems
  • Data architecture
  • Analytics and evidence generation
  • Decision-support capabilities

Questions we help hold

  • Which information does a decision-maker need, and who is accountable for it?
  • Where does the current architecture help, and where does it fragment the picture?
  • How should evidence be generated so it changes a choice, not only a report?

03

Financing, Economics & Sustainability

Developing financing strategies, investment cases, economic analyses, and approaches to sustainable resource allocation.

The work can include

  • Financing strategies
  • Investment cases
  • Economic analyses
  • Sustainable resource allocation

Questions we help hold

  • What has to be resourced for results to continue after this cycle?
  • What would a credible investment case need to show?
  • How should resources be allocated when the problem outlasts a single budget?

04

Organisational & Workforce Capability

Strengthening organisational structures, operating models, leadership, workforce capabilities, and institutional performance.

The work can include

  • Organisational structures and operating models
  • Leadership and workforce capabilities
  • Institutional performance

Questions we help hold

  • Does the operating model match the strategy the institution has chosen?
  • Where do leadership and workforce capabilities need to be strengthened?
  • What would better institutional performance look like in practice?

05

Social Impact Consulting

Supporting impact strategies, outcome measurement, evaluation, cross-sector partnerships, and sustainable social value creation.

The work can include

  • Impact strategies
  • Outcome measurement and evaluation
  • Cross-sector partnerships
  • Sustainable social value creation

Questions we help hold

  • Which outcomes matter, and how will they be measured?
  • Who must be in partnership for the result to be real?
  • How will social value be sustained, not only described?

06

Innovation, Incubation & Enterprise Development

Supporting innovation ecosystems, startup incubation advisory, enterprise development, technology-enabled solutions, and pathways to investment readiness and scale.

The work can include

  • Innovation ecosystems
  • Startup incubation advisory
  • Enterprise development
  • Technology-enabled solutions
  • Investment readiness and scale

Questions we help hold

  • What problem is this innovation actually for, and who will use it?
  • What has to be true for the enterprise to be investment-ready?
  • How does a promising idea become something an institution can adopt at scale?

How an engagement unfolds

Understand. Design. Enable. Sustain.

The sequence is a discipline, not a template. Some institutions need all four movements. Some need one of them done properly.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Assess institutional contexts, identify systemic challenges, and clarify strategic priorities.

  2. 02

    Design

    Develop evidence-informed strategies, policy options, investment frameworks, and institutional solutions.

  3. 03

    Enable

    Strengthen capabilities, partnerships, financing pathways, and organisational readiness.

  4. 04

    Sustain

    Support performance measurement, learning, institutionalisation, and long-term sustainability.
