REID Consulting

Unplug traditional consulting

Every solution our experts deliver is scaled to the needs of our clients and partners, and the real challenges they face today... and tomorrow.

We make the complex simple

With nearly three decades of experience in innovation policy, socio-economic research, sustainability and regional development, we are able to distil the noise and static of each challenge into something harmonious, elegant and ready to play.

Our concrete recommendations, supported by easy-to-understand visualisation tools, help to answer the inevitable ‘What now’ question and to understand:

WHAT WE DO BEST

We offer

Time-saving picto

Time-saving advice

Time is of the essence in a fast-moving world and yet not taking the time to reflect properly can be often more costly.

Our experience is that by taking time early in an assignment to get in tune with our clients’ needs, we enable them to move ahead at an allegro tempo.

Data analytics picto

Data analytics

We are not data-geeks. We don’t play with data for the sake of it.  

We do apply our intelligence to all types of data and work with it in diverse ways to answer your questions and identify opportunities that help you design and implement better policy.

Calibrated brief

Research tailored to a carefully calibrated brief

Our work starts from your questions, your needs.  When you commission us to work for you, you can expect to be challenged.

We will unpick and unplug your thinking to make sure we are reading from the same score so that we hit a pitch perfect note together.

Our project portfolio

SIX DISTINCT PERIODS

REID Consulting is based in the Brussels metropolitan area, which means we hear the tom-toms of EU decision-making loud and clear so we can translate their message into highly relevant local, regional, national and cross-border solutions for you. The policy beat is a backing track… the music and lyrics are all our own!
