Our company sees an opportunity in foresight that’s been overlooked among the failures of forecasters and futurists. Instead of predicting the future we focus one understanding a simple human condition: appetite.
Economics is the study of the principles that drive human choice. These timeless principles form the foundation of the analysis and frameworks we build for investors and companies seeking investment.
What our clients say
- Bob Mitchell, Climate Change Advisor - Strategic Planning and Business Development, ConocoPhilips Canada
Jeremy helped develop our Climate Change Outcome Map. It provides a more strategic view of our response to climate change than we would have taken with other tools. His probing questions and analysis helped create an insightful map for our future.
- Bob Marshall, Vice President, Corporate Services, Alberta Ingenuity Fund
I remain impressed with the straightforward way you approach problems and communicate results. The process you used to analyze Jurisdictional Advantage took theory (academic lit review, exploration with business faculty and research groups) and tempered it with your very practical perspective. We will use this work.
- Trevor Thera, Director - Centres & Industry Programs, Alberta Ingenuity Fund
Sift's services are succinct, accurate and very influential in our decision making process. The clarity with which the information was presented made it readily usable for all stakeholders in our process.
- Dr. Peter Frise, CEO, AUTO21
The involvement of Jeremy Heigh was invaluable in that he was able to draw out the real needs and perspectives of each of the parties in the consortium and bring them to the fore so that people could exchange views in an effective manner.
- Bob Marshall, Vice President, Corporate Services, Alberta Ingenuity Fund
Your company provided the sort of service I can count on. You delivered what you said you would deliver, when you said you would deliver it, and to the standards that we set. You delivered on the question and did not over promise. In my books, this makes you 'referable'.
- Peter McCormack, North America Sales Manager, Dieffenbacher
I would like to commend you for your organizational skills and professional manner in which you moderated a strong group of industrialists, members of government and academia.
- Alan Kearns, Head Coach, CareerJoy
Jeremy has an unusual blend of strategic capacity and pragmatic wisdom. His macro perspective generates deep insight that gets to the core of issues. Jeremy is also very intuitive to where things are moving. And he has a pretty good sense of humor to boot!
- Ray Bassett, Assistant Deputy Minister, Advanced Education and Technology
As part of developing Alberta Innovates, Sift designed an analytical tool to assess where the province of Alberta has opportunities in the global market place. Building on the emerging concept of "Jurisdictional Advantage", Sift laid out key elements to be considered -- the work was very thorough and well presented.
- Peter Hackett, CEO, Alberta Ingenuity Fund
SIFT provided original thinking, competitive intelligence, strategic insight, and creativity in a series of incisive reports that helped me guide Alberta Ingenuity Fund decisions on $130 million of research and innovation investments building Alberta's next generation economy. SIFT is solid. SIFT has integrity.
- Trevor Thera, Director - Centres & Industry Programs, Alberta Ingenuity Fund
Sift provided sound financial and economic background on the potential of initiatives we were considering. The unbiased perspective and evaluation allowed us to make the right decisions.
