For each project SES undertakes, we assemble a unique team of experts to provide outstanding solutions. We have provided counsel to senior executives on projects ranging from the privatization of government services through to corporate litigation. To follow is a sample of the firm's diverse management consulting experience.

Scanning the environment
Faced with a short timeline, SES was retained to conduct an environmental scan of policy makers in Canada, the US and Commonwealth countries on their experiences in a specific program area.

Providing expert witness services
SES has conducted research and provided expert witness services on a series of legal assignments.

Support program innovation
Faced with a short timeline, SES was retained to research and develop innovative program alternatives for the consideration of government decision-makers. SES support ranged from recruiting stakeholders for a consultative council to conducting research to providing ongoing strategic advice.

Evaluating program performance
As part of a regular accountability process, SES was retained by a senior government decision-maker to conduct a formal program review of a transfer payment agency.

Collecting strategic information
In an effort to collect value-added intelligence for the Interprovincial Trade Negotiations, SES was retained to research the potential discriminatory practices of various provincial governments and crown corporations. The purpose of this initiative was to provide strategic information to the chief negotiator.

Identifying needs
As part of an overall effort to facilitate the re-engineering of the public sector, SES was retained to conduct a needs assessment for a province-wide job registry. Through consultations with various labour and employer representatives, SES was able to develop recommendations and an operational plan for the implementation of the initiative.

Communicating with results
Decision-makers have retained SES to write speeches and top level presentation notes as well as to prepare formal submissions for print and electronic media.
