This is a list of my recent reports and publications. Scroll down for some examples of briefs and blogs, as well as peer-reviewed articles, books and theses.
I like to report using concise and accessible formats whenever possible. There’s no point writing a long and eloquent report that no-one has the time to read! I write reports that are easy to read and digest, with clear recommendations for my clients so that the findings are more likely to have real impact. I often produce short briefs or summaries, three or four pages at most, with information carefully tailored to the needs and preferences of particular audiences.
