Forecast and Scenario Analysis
Our economic modelling infrastructure enables us to undertake rigorous quantitative forward looking analysis, providing insights into difficult questions and bringing global expertise to local issues and challenges. By working closely with our clients we can identify the unique challenges they face and focus on the areas of analysis that makes the biggest impact to their business.

Strategic reporting
We work with clients across a range of industries and geographies to link the current and future economic environment to their unique business challenges. Leveraging our in-house economic models we are able to provide detailed reports on the outlook for specific sectors and products, and the implications this has for business planning and strategy.

Workforce and skills analysis
The tight labour market environment poses challenges for business and government alike. By combining our detailed understanding of the labour market with our outlook for the Australian economy we are able to provide insights into current and future skills shortages and the what this means for training needs, business performance and labour costs.

Modelling and forecasting tools
Having the ability to regularly update forecasts and undertake scenario analysis is important for planning purposes and risk monitoring. Our team has expertise in building forecasting models and data visualisation tools that enable clients to regularly translate the economic environment into business specific demand and cost drivers. We work closely with our clients to design solutions that not only provide detailed forecasts, but do this in a way that can easily be explained and updated on an ongoing basis.
