What we do?
- Public Policy Advisory
- Management Advisory & Assurance
- European Research & Innovation
Public Policy Advisory
We help public institutions develop, assess and improve policies, programmes and strategic initiatives. Our work provides decision-makers with independent evidence, additional analytical capacity and clearly structured recommendations. We conduct ex-ante, interim and ex-post evaluations, prepare strategies and action plans, assess policy impacts and develop feasibility studies.
Each assignment is tailored to its institutional and policy context. We combine quantitative and qualitative research with recognised evaluation methods, including intervention logic, theory of change, counterfactual analysis, cost-benefit analysis and stakeholder consultation. The result is a clear and defensible basis for public decisions, implementation and accountability.
Management Advisory & Assurance
We help private and public enterprises strengthen strategy, governance and operational performance. Our services include strategy development, management workshops, operating model design, process analysis and improvement, performance management and support for organisational transformation. We turn strategic priorities into clear responsibilities, practical processes and measurable actions.
We also provide risk management, internal control, internal audit and independent assurance services. Our work helps management boards and supervisory bodies understand key risks, assess whether controls operate effectively and identify opportunities for improvement. Each assignment is tailored to the organisation’s objectives, structure and regulatory environment, providing practical recommendations that support better decisions, stronger accountability and more effective management.
European Research & Innovation
We participate in European research and innovation projects addressing complex societal, environmental and economic challenges. Working with universities, research institutes, public authorities, businesses and civil society organisations, we contribute applied research, policy analysis, impact assessment and practical knowledge from Lithuania and the wider European region.
Our experience covers Horizon Europe and earlier EU research programmes. We support consortium development and contribute to stakeholder engagement, co-creation, pilot activities, business models, exploitation, dissemination and policy recommendations. Depending on the project, we can lead tasks and work packages or act as a local research and implementation partner, helping consortia translate research results into measurable impact and practical solutions.
