Since 1999, clients have repeatedly turned to ELM for gateway solutions to a variety of R&D and project management needs.

Private and public organizations alike rely on ELM for strategic analysis and insights to help guide decision-making concerning prospective projects.  Other clients turn to ELM as an effective partner to build and incubate new ventures.  Yet other organizations turn to us to manage projects that require careful coordination and follow-through of multiple activities.  Finally, clients seeking to strengthen their own in-house research and development capabilities depend on ELM for effective training and capacity-building.

By bringing together experienced researchers, industry professionals, and management consultants into a collaborative international network, ELM is able to empower our clients in a manner that is both powerful and cost-effective.   In so doing, we are able to meet strategic research and development needs that are not easily addressed by traditional management consultancies or independent researchers working by themselves.  And, because we are organized as a network of consultants who work together on a case-by-case basis to meet the unique needs of our clients, we are able to maintain operating efficiencies that allow us to provide our services at reasonable rates.

In turning to ELM, clients also benefit from the integrity of an organization that values dispassionate analysis and advising over the automatic parroting of business trends and fashions.  We believe that high quality, cost-effective R&D and incubation services can and should be fully compatible with commitments to positive change-- for the benefit of our clients and the publics they serve.
