About Us

We work with leading corporations, governments and social sector organizations around the world on the growth issues that are most important to them. Growth is a complicated problem. It involves identifying new opportunities through creativity and insight; it also involves the hard work of removing the barriers to growth that build up over time in any organization. It’s about knowing where to grow, but also how to overcome what holds you back. We partner with client organizations as their integrated resource for growth. Monitor Inclusive Markets. WASTE.

In a new paper with Suresh de Mel and Chris Woodruff, published online today in Science, we ask whether the much simpler policy of giving a one-time grant to small business owners has any long-term effect. [An aside to World Bank/IFC readers, I am delighted that our library now finally has arranged full-text online access to Science – and the paper is short, so click through!].

In northern Uganda, home to one of Africa’s longest and most brutal civil conflicts, organic farming is producing economic growth and stability.
