Global and Local Market and System Insights

The speed of change of traditional market and system forces is accelerating. What’s happening in your operating context is often a blur.

We develop market and system intelligence, even where data is scarce, unreliable, or chaotic. We follow the money - public, private and blended - and the forces informing or disrupting how it flows to those that grow economies and deliver impact. We dive deep into consumer and community level barriers and incentives to help clients understand how their products, services and innovations can improve in quality and scale. We explore the performance of systems and individuals to provide nuanced understanding of where and how to improve and innovate. Our insights are driven by:

Human centered design.

Market segmentation analysis.

Eco-system and political economy analysis.

System, product, and organizational performance analysis.

Organizational and project learning strategies.

Innovation Accelerator and Investor Model

If anything is clear from the recent dramatic changes in the social impact space, it’s that the world needs to expand the sources and structures through which finance and support for business and social impact flows.

Co-Centric empowers emerging market start-ups and SMEs, and the impact investing and strategic philanthropy sector to connect more efficiently and collaboratively. By connecting business and impact support for early and ready-to-scale stage innovators with collaboration oriented investors, we’re enlarging the number of successful enterprises solving social challenges and growing economies in emerging markets. Get in touch if you are:

An investor or philanthropist interested in joining a collaborative network and connecting to a reliable pipeline of validated, high-performing enterprises.

An innovator that has struggled to gain visibility, get past pilot stage, or have plateaued just short of scale.

A collaborator or network focused on supporting and expanding business and impact eco-systems.
