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.
