In-house strategic political risk know-how and project management expertise: Harmattan's core personnel are
political risk strategists, with a sound understanding of the linkage between international business strategy, foreign
direct investment, and the socio-political environment. Core personnel are experienced in the art of consulting, and
are also experienced trainers and facilitators.
Country and regional experts: Harmattan conducts much research in-house, and we are especially familiar with the
Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Afghanistan. But we can also draw upon trusted specialist networks to
provide cutting-edge localised intelligence on the socio-political situation in the client's operating environment. Our
networks include experts with in-depth knowledge of the MENA, South Asia, the CIS (ex-USSR), and West and
Central Africa.
Functional specialists: While Harmattan has a strategic perspective of most risk management functions, we can call
upon specialist expertise in particular functions when required. These include experts in security in hazardous
environments, corporate social responsibility, community impact assessment, and confidential investigations as they
relate to a wider requirement. While Harmattan ascribes to the notion of "light-touch" consulting, if a project moves
from design to implementation, we can bring on-board relevant and discrete assets.
