About Us

International Perspectives is Canada's freshest information management and consulting firm. Through our innovative analytical and consulting services, we offer clients new ways to manage and disseminate information - making their perspectives understood. Specialising in the fields of international relations, security and organisational transition, we offer clients a suite of services aimed at solving sensitive problems and effectively relaying messages to target audiences. International Perspectives is based in Ottawa and powered by professional experience in project and information management, communications and analysis, both in the private and public sectors.

Cracking Perspectives

As a thought leader, our work is always focused on driving widespread change. Through consensus building and forward-looking analysis we ensure that our initiatives are easily understood and readily adopted. We don’t simply point out problems or weaknesses, we present new ideas and adoptable frameworks based on what we learn through innovative workshops and in-house research. As a result, our work is ideal for companies that wish to lead, not follow, providing such sponsors with accessible material to help guide and support them in leadership pursuits.

What Makes Us So Fresh?

Our work is always results-oriented. We don’t publish reports or host events simply for the sake of it. It is with a clear sense of purpose that we bring experts together to collaborate on select issues so that pragmatic solutions for the future can be developed. Work on topics at International Perspectives doesn’t stop at the workshop or report level either, as we continuously endeavour to put our material in front of the right people in the media, industry and public sector to effectively make a difference.

Why is Our Work Effective?

The key to our effectiveness is fivefold: vision, structure, neutrality, accessibility and network.

Vision

Thought-leadership requires a unique ability to synthesize information in such a way that determines what issues of today threaten to become tomorrow’s serious challenges. Setting International Perspectives apart from the competition, our careful research and analysis enables us to envision future scenarios thus indicating what specific problems must be addressed now to mitigate problems later. With such vision we begin developing products that actually answer problems.

Structure

International Perspectives services are designed to answer specific problems. Whether it be developing solutions or relaying a message, we develop easy-to-follow plans for delivering a particular service. For example, as our workshops are designed to maximize knowledge transfer and attendee participation, we research and invite top experts to present on given topics that set the stage for predetermined problem sessions. Carefully selected participants are assigned working groups to ensure cross industry representation. These pre-assigned groups are asked to consider the problems posed by workshop presenters, contributing to long-term solutions. Through this innovative structure our workshops ensure results.

Neutrality

Once a message has been labeled as biased, it can no longer be heard. As a result, International Perspectives strives to maintain our commitment to neutrality. As a third-party organization International Perspectives is able to bring all key-stakeholders together providing a neutral environment under the Chatham House rule that encourages multilateral co-operation. Our continued excellence in providing objective analysis of research and workshop findings also contributes to the effective uptake of our work in the media, and both public and private sectors.

Share your message with us, and we will find the most effective and objective way to relay it, ensuring your perspective is heard as well as understood.

Accessibility

Our analysts compile research and workshop findings in easy-to-read reports, articles and commentary. Far from simply recapping research or workshop proceedings, these pieces act as recommendations and catalysts for change in the intended subject matter. Providing accessible information and analysis on issues has directly led to international media exposure with press coverage across North America, the E.U. and Asia and public sector response in several countries.

Network

Armed with the right information, the battle can only be partially won - making sure that information is received and understood by the right people is the only certain way to victory. At International Perspectives, we make it our business to know who the key decisions makers are, and perhaps more importantly, how to access them, thus ensuring that the messages of our clients are heard and understood by the right people.
