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.

Tackling Global Issues

Making progress has never been more complex. Working with the realities of global interdependence is difficult, but vital for organisations of all kinds.

Governments, NGOs and corporates everywhere are facing up to the reality of working on a global scale. From climate change to intercultural understanding, and from economic development to new ways of communicating, the world is becoming a smaller – but more complicated – place to work in.

River Path has been working with clients on global issues since 1997 in countries worldwide. Recent projects have included research on the private sector’s response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic for the World Economic Forum, a blog on the 2007 UN Climate Change Conference for E3G and Open Democracy called Global Deal, and ongoing consultancy for the British Council’s European project on intercultural relations, Living Together.
