We help our clients understand how decision-makers think about a changing world and what this means for frameworks, priorities, investments, and impact. We help position companies in a landscape where security policy, business, and international affairs are increasingly intertwined.
The world is becoming more turbulent and uncertain. Democracy is under pressure. The NATO alliance is shaky. There is war in Europe, and conflicts and crises from the rest of the world regularly hit Norway’s economy and politics with full force.
Europe is rearming. Thousands of soldiers are on high alert. New defense plans have been adopted, and there are heavy investments in advanced defense materiel. In Norway, the Storting has approved a historic build-up of the Armed Forces, with similar measures expected for total defense and civil preparedness.
When change happens quickly, there is both great risk and great opportunity. It’s more important than ever to understand what drives decisions, reach the right actors, and develop sharp messages and strategies that deliver results.
