Projects and Clients.

InfoCivitas is focused on building a research-based consulting practice that gives political leaders and senior civil servants the decision-support they need to take decisive action, with confidence, on some of the most complex issues they face. The practice model is based on three tightly related components: staffing, results and value.

InfoCivitas engagements are staffed with the firm principles, leveraging significant project qualifications as well as decades of experience advisory Prime Ministers, Cabinet Ministers, Deputy Ministers and parliamentarians.
Results orientation means that we focus on the outcomes not just process. InfoCivitas projects aims to provide effective decision-support, sustainable institution-building and analysis that withstands scrutiny.
There are few firms in Canada that truly understand government and are able to deliver defensible findings and demonstrated results with a cost-effective model for clients.

Evaluating the UK's Office of Budget Responsibility

The UK's HM Treasury devolved the function of economic and fiscal forecasting to the newly formed Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR). InfoCivitas implemented an evaluation framework, it had developed for the OECD, to undertake the first five-year review of the OBR. The report was tabled in the British House of Commons and is considered a benchmark for evaluation of independent fiscal institutions.
