Critical Connections

In general, my consultancy work uses models and related analysis techniques to assist clients to understand the possible concequences of options that they face. This work uses existing techniques rather than researches new ones, and the results are confidential. However, some of my modelling work has research papers or other publications as one of the outcomes and I publish the details here. I have a particular interest in health financing models.

Integration and Implementation Sciences

I am also interested in how models can be used to bring together different perspectives of a problem, communicate the different perspectives to all people affected by an issue, and contribute to better decisions. This interest developed out of my years of policy development and is encompassed within Integration and Implementation Sciences. I am currently writing a book on this subject and some preliminary thoughts were published in a report:
