Founded in 2003, International Focus is an international strategy management company, specialized in emerging economies and mutation' trends. International Focus works with entrepreneurial entities, public institutions and non-governmental organisations, which seek success in a global and ever-developing world.
Since its inception, International Focus has been focused on integrating complementary skills. Thanks to this approach and thanks to its partners, International Focus can now offer to its customers a global solution to their needs. International Focus provides analyses, surveys and foresights, as well as technological tools for information analysis or strategic communication.
International Focus has developed a cross-functional process of data analysis and consultancy. The style of management combines different approaches to make a multi-disciplinary system, largely rendered by mapping, which assists in the process of strategic decision-making.
International Focus has also developed its own product range, including websites on topics related to emerging countries, and conferences - known as Points de Veille - with a focus on strategic matters.
Globe Expert is the information analysis system developed by International Focus. At first, it was designed for the internal use of the G-MAP research group, devoted to the 21st century mutations' trends. Since September 2008, G-MAP became an independent entity as a non-profit organisation governed by Swiss law and headquartered in Geneva. Globe-Expert is now opened up to International Focus customers who can benefit from its functionalities such as the database and the information's analysis instruments.
- The database is aimed at the emerging countries, the hotspots of the world and the 21st century mutations' trends: climate and environment (including energy and raw materials), economy and geopolitics, science and technology, society.
- We qualify the information contained in the database after a period of tests and evaluation.
- The information sources are international. They are mainly supplied by international organisations and by national - private and public - research institutes. Among others, we use surveys from Australian, Indian, Israeli, Japanese, New Zealand and South African research centres.
- The information's analysis instruments provide an innovative and synthesised mapping of the information.
- Globalisation integration index;
- Frequency of occurrence scanning;
- Developmental trends' scanning;
- Keywords' scanning and variations' rating;
- Country overview;
- Period overview;
- Impacts and risks scanning (under development).
