Economic advisory
Decision-ready economic analysis for boards, executives, governments and non-profits.
I help leaders make major decisions on workforce, investment, compensation, markets, funding and strategy with clear evidence, practical judgment and plain English advice.
I operate an independent economics practice advising governments, industry bodies, peak organisations, businesses and non-profits.
My work focuses on labour market economics, workforce policy, compensation frameworks, market analysis and strategic decisions that sit at the intersection of economics, policy and stakeholder complexity.
I am engaged when the issue is important, the evidence is contested, or the decision needs to be explained clearly to boards, executives, funders, ministers or the public. My role is to clarify the economic question, test the evidence, identify realistic options and present a view that is rigorous, practical and usable.
What I advise on
I advise on labour market economics, workforce strategy, investment decisions, business cases, options analysis, compensation frameworks, pay strategy, market analysis and economic outlooks. My work also covers wage and pricing reviews, funding reform, commissioning transitions, sector and industry analysis, social impact and socio-economic issues, and broader public policy and strategic questions where economics, governance and stakeholder risk intersect.
Who I work with
My advisory work supports boards and executive teams, governments and public sector agencies, industry bodies and peak organisations, business leaders, and non-profits and community organisations.
I am usually engaged when leaders are making significant decisions in complex, contested or high-pressure environments and need clear economic advice they can use with confidence.
Areas of focus and experience
Workforce and labour markets
Advice on labour market conditions, workforce participation, recruitment and retention pressures, employment projections, pay strategy and wider workforce dynamics. This includes work on migration, wages, inflation, age-based labour market prospects and sector workforce analysis.
Public policy and strategic decisions
Advice for leaders working through public policy questions, inquiries, advocacy issues and decisions where economics, institutions and stakeholder management intersect. My work is often used in public settings, including parliamentary debates, government reports and industry strategies.
Investment and business cases
Advice on investment decisions, feasibility, options analysis, commercial plausibility, funding pathways and business case development. I bring business case and investment assessment discipline to decisions that need to be both economically sound and practically deliverable.
Social impact analyses
Advice on the economic and distributional effects of policies, projects and organisational decisions across groups, places and services. This includes social impact assessments, socio-economic analysis, service demand and access effects, and clear advice on mitigations, trade-offs and monitoring.
Compensation, pricing and funding
Advice on compensation frameworks, wage and pricing reviews, funding reform and related economic questions that affect organisational strategy and sustainability.
Commissioning, funding and evaluation
Advice on commissioning transitions, funding reform, monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and implementation settings that help organisations move from strategy to delivery. The focus is on building structures that are workable, measurable and useful for boards, executives, funders and governments.
