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
- 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. - 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
