Systems & Policy Architecture focuses on designing governance, policy, and institutional frameworks that can operate effectively in complex, fast-changing environments. This work bridges strategic intent and practical implementation, ensuring that public and quasi-public systems are adaptive, resilient, and fit for purpose in the face of technological, economic, and societal transformation.
Governance and institutional design
Design and reform of governance structures, mandates, and institutional arrangements to improve coordination, accountability, and long-term effectiveness. This includes aligning incentives across actors, clarifying decision rights, and building institutions capable of learning and adapting over time.
AI governance frameworks
Development of context-sensitive AI governance models that balance innovation, public value, and risk mitigation. This includes policy guidance on ethical AI, regulatory approaches, data governance, oversight mechanisms, and institutional capacity-building, tailored to national, regional, or sector-specific needs.
Digital public infrastructure strategy
Strategic design of foundational digital systems—such as digital identity, payments, data exchange, and public platforms—that enable inclusive service delivery, economic participation, and innovation. Emphasis is placed on interoperability, scalability, trust, and long-term sustainability rather than standalone technology deployments.
Urban systems thinking (cities, creative economies, talent flows)
Application of systems thinking to urban environments, recognizing cities as interconnected ecosystems of infrastructure, culture, labor, capital, and creativity. This includes strategies to strengthen creative economies, attract and retain talent, and align urban development with social inclusion and economic resilience.
