River Path Associates, Knowledge consultancy covering Research, Strategic Counsel and Creative Solutions.

River Path is an organisational pathfinder. We work by challenging perceptions, building evidence for change, and mapping the future. We use a range of techniques, including strategic consulting, research, and the development of creative solutions.

We work in the public, private and not for profit sectors, and in multiple professional fields – ranging from demography to communications technologies, and from international relations to retail. But everything we do is focused on four strands that we consider essential to being fit for the future.

Business, AIDS, and Africa

Business, AIDS, and AfricaThe Africa Competitiveness Report, prepared by the World Economic Forum and published by Oxford University Press, explores the impact of HIV/AIDS for the first time. Our report finds strongly divergent views on the importance of AIDS among African businesses, but concludes: “A campaign against HIV/AIDS offers business leaders the chance to set a positive agenda, to improve relationships with workers and consumers, to build brands and to invest in the reputation of the business community as a whole.” (River Path: co-authors)
