Fractional economist

An economist on your side.
Without the full-time hire.

Understand what changes in the economy mean for your investments, customers, costs, and plans.

The economic outlook is only the beginning.

The useful question is what it changes for your organization. Should you enter a market, change hiring plans, adjust pricing, or reconsider a capital commitment?

I connect economic research to those choices. The relationship can start with a single question or provide regular analysis and discussion for your leadership or investment team.

What the relationship includes

Economic briefings

A focused view of the developments that matter to your business or portfolio, with time to discuss the implications.

Research on your questions

Investigations into markets, industries, labor trends, and strategic opportunities.

Scenarios and indicators

Explore alternative outcomes and follow the indicators that would prompt a change in plan.

Research for your audience

Develop original analysis for investment committees, leadership teams, or your own clients.

Questions worth investigating

How could AI change our economics?

Examine the effect on the cost of delivering work, pricing, staffing, and the value customers place on the service.

What changes our demand outlook?

Follow customer conditions, employment, financing, and competition rather than relying on an economy-wide headline.

Where should we commit capital?

Compare the economic case for markets and investments, including what a less favorable environment would mean.

How the relationship works

Can we use the research with our clients?

Yes. We can develop research for your audience and agree the branding and distribution as part of the project.

Can you help with forecasts?

Yes. Forecasts can be developed alongside alternative scenarios and the indicators to watch as conditions change.

Do we need an internal research team?

No. You can work directly with Brian, or bring him alongside the analysts and advisers already supporting you.
