red team assessments

Red Team Assessments help client’s strategy development by producing an outside-in or counter consensus narrative to confirm or disprove key assumptions or expectations.

Situation

• Clients typically maintaining an in-house view of geopolitical developments but these outlooks maybe subject to a number of biases, therefore an outside-in perspective or a counter consensus outlook can reveal new opportunities and risks.

Approach

• We identify the key drivers of the prevailing trends shaping the consensus view
• Analyzing the set of driver further, we develop potential alternative outcomes for key trends with different implications.

Deliverables

Red team assessments provide clients with three primary deliverables: 

1. An analysis of key drivers.
2. An assessment of the consensus and counter consensus trends.
3. An analysis of the impact and implications of the counter-consensus narrative.
