Understand stakeholders and the business environment

For companies that are seeking to develop new business or grow their existing business in the Caribbean and similar emerging markets, SXD offers a comprehensive research frame to help you understand the political landscape, the policy context and the stakeholder map and issues.

How we can help

  • Country risk analysis - Strong, fact-based business intelligence to identify and manage external risks/threats to business strategy (policy, political agendas and public opinion trends, etc.),

  • The development of briefings with an independent perspective and insight on the political and business environment,

  • Bespoke surveys to provide key stakeholder and public feedback,

  • Facilitate and convene external challenge with input from local and international experts on key external business strategies,

  • Analysis of country Legislation and policy analysis.

When might you need these services?

  • As Caribbean businesses seek to make inroads and new investments into new markets – particularly in Africa,

  • International businesses seeking to make a new investment in the Caribbean or need support for renewing existing business investments in the Caribbean,

  • Risk advisory services, commercial lending departments and legal firms who are required to advise and assess “in-country” socio-political risks in emerging countries,

  • During periods of political change when some informed perspective on key players and potential policy changes are needed to ensure business continuity and sustainability.
