Data & Evidence:

How can you better understand people and communities in order to effect change?

  • We are trying to provide the evidence base for governments. Our data collection capability is industry leading and our ability to reach all sections of society is unrivalled. We are ‘first adopters’ of new technologies that can increase our ability to reach and connect with citizens.
  • We innovate and break new ground: looking for new ways to link data, integrate open data, non-survey data and unstructured data, and draw on ARM’s data partnerships and our in-house Analytics capabilities.

Policy Development & Evaluation:

How do you develop better public and programs- and understand what works and why?

  • Our experts in public policy work at the intersection of data, technology, and human understanding. Our deep policy and program evaluation expertise and data collection capabilities support clients across the policy cycle, from needs assessment and formative research through to full-service program evaluation.
  • We draw on a range of sources from around the world to generate, transmit and adopt the highest quality evidence and practices for decision-making and embrace many different types of partnership in our policy work, from academics to start-ups.

Behavioral Insights & Communications:

How do you implement effective, population-level behavior change to address complex societal challenges?

  • Some of today’s most important policy challenges – from population health to domestic violence – can only be met by effective, population-level behavior change. Our consultancy and research teams work across the entire spectrum of behavior change programs.
  • We help clients understand behavior and deconstruct the complex range of levers that influence it. We help to identify population segments to undertake targeted, effective interventions and communications and crucially, address the gap between intentions and actions.

Political & Opinion Advisory:

What’s driving political opinion? How can you track societal changes, engage with citizens and deliver?

  • Understanding what the public think is a critical component in the delivery of effective policies and government communications. ARM Public team is well experienced in public opinion and voting intention polling.
  • Our trusted insights help leaders in governments, political parties, international organizations, government ministries, public services and the media to make better, informed decisions and contribute to the quality of public debate.

Development Practice:

How can you better understand the challenges and opportunities for developing countries to advance the Sustainable Development Goals?

  • Navigating the rapid transformation of society in developing countries across multiple realms – economic, social, cultural, political, technological – requires strong evidence and local expertise.
  • Our Development Practice partners with governments, development organizations, not-for-profits, NGOs and universities to develop programs and policies designed to alleviate some of the world’s most critical development challenges.
  • Much of our work focuses on populations who are vulnerable to income shocks, nutritional deprivations, disease outbreaks and disasters, across the most remote and hard-to-reach regions, conflict areas and fragile states.
  • Leveraging our research and evaluation expertise, innovative methodologies, as well as a citizen-centric focus, our team helps clients achieve real impact and sustainability.
