Better insight for better decisions

Building on our experience of network econometrics, we have developed a holistic approach to problem identification, definition, analysis and solution for regional economic development initiatives - from golf to renewable energy.

SNG collects data from the source (i.e. businesses, organizations, institutions, households) and uses it in customized Input-Output (I-O) models for economic impact analysis. We have a proven track record and experience in I-O modeling for a variety of projects. I-O modeling tools are capable of calculating economic impacts in terms of GDP, jobs and tax revenues at national and regional levels, for direct, indirect and induced impacts.

We focus on:

• Identifying key economic indicators and measures directly and indirectly related to the activity studied that are required for analysis of who benefits

• Adapting our Online Tools to effectively and cost-efficiently collect the indicators and measures from individual stakeholders and data sources

• Data analysis and interpretation to extract useful information from survey results for reporting and inputting to economic impact analysis

• Interpreting research results and project analysis in an economic context at national and regional levels, as well as applying our community and regional economic development tool to identify linkages and opportunities for regional economic development

While  SNG is primarily recognized as a global leader in quantifying the impacts from investments in broadband infrastructure, our tools and methodologies can be cost-effectively applied to a number of different sectors, including:

• Renewable energy / low carbon solutions;

• Green technology;

• Telehealth;

• E-learning;

• Industry sectors and associations: professional services, sports and recreation, etc.

What we offer

• Field-tested methodologies and online tools that enable us to effectively and cost-efficiently collect usable data from businesses and organizations for economic impact analysis, data which are often not available from existing statistical databases;

• A team of industry experts without the overhead of larger consulting firms. We believe this allows us to help clients fast-track projects to success and offer our clients the best value for their money.
