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
- 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.
- Tamrat Tekle, CEO, TTS Inc.
The biocomposites space is evolving rapidly. Our company leads in implementing new technologies. So, we play in a fairly fluid market. Sift is one of the few advisors we found that keeps up with the market and our company. Sift stands at the hub of converging economic forces -- they translate between companies like ours, investors and governments.
- Stuart Cullum, Executive Director, novaNAIT | NAIT
I was drawn by the unique strategic approach that Sift brings to their work and felt that approach would provide a lot of value to an emerging initiative. Jeremy's reputation is strong and he has proven himself in this kind of work.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- Tamrat Tekle, CEO, TTS Inc.
Sift played a key role in attracting $6 million to our company. They asked the questions we needed to answer to define our business opportunities and strategic direction. It didn't stop there, they worked along side us in discussions with investors -- their work is a critical part of our success.
- Brian Rhiness, Chief Development Officer, Alberta Centre for Livestock Genomics
The economic analysis of livestock genomics was high quality and delivered inside a very short timeframe. I appreciate your open and professional manner with the team and your work to flesh out our needs and help us know what we don't know.
- Stuart Cullum, Executive Director, novaNAIT | NAIT
Sift's approach to relationship building is refreshing. It is based on an industry engagement model that invites input from the company at the earliest stage, as opposed to a marketing approach which may or may not resonate. NAIT needs to understand where its capacity can be applied even before it builds applied research programming. Sift's approach allowed this to happen and helped us generate strong introductions with a number of important companies.
This approach will resonate across all of our applied research initiatives and I believe that not only has it resulted in a valuable outcome for our organization, but it has provided a significant learning opportunity for my staff.
