Why it works
Uncover what others miss.
Through the Integrated Intelligence Framework, we connect the dots across human understanding, business insights, and foresight and planning to uncover what others miss.
  • See what matters and why, so you can anticipate what’s next and move first.
  • See people as people, not data points.
  • Align cross-functional teams with a single, clear story.
  • Gain clarity and context around shifting human behavior.
  • Make faster, more confident decisions backed by expert-guided intelligence.

Wondering if you’re missing critical information? You’re not alone.

Even when you’re surrounded by dashboards, reports, and AI-powered tools—it’s natural to wonder. We understand the unease, because we help high-performing teams like yours turn uncertainty into direction every day.

What sets Integrated Intelligence apart

Led by senior advisors

Industry-savvy researchers guide every engagement—shaping the approach around your goals, priorities, and market realities.

A connected, cross-source view

We synthesize data and stories from primary research, internal sources, syndicated reports, and human insights to find meaningful patterns among your customers and for your brand.

A custom framework that gets smarter over time

Each engagement adds new inputs, sharpening the precision and relevance of every future study.

A story your teams can use

We curate the information into a clear, decision-ready narrative—tailored for real-world use by strategy, marketing, innovation, or leadership.

Human-led, tech powered

AI and modeling tools add speed and scale, but our analysts bring the context, interpretation, and judgment that instill confidence in the output.

What makes it work

Integrated Intelligence works because of the people behind it. Each team brings distinct strengths, unified by a shared commitment to help clients move forward with clarity and confidence.

Tracking the world beyond 
your walls

Integrated Intelligence begins with awareness. We monitor macroeconomic and cultural shifts so your strategy stays informed, adaptive, and aligned to the forces shaping your business.

Keeping the focus 
on real people

Understanding behavior means understanding people. We uncover the tensions, motivations, and needs behind consumer choices—so your decisions are rooted in how people live, choose, and engage.

Uncovering patterns and 
providing foresight

Our approach integrates diverse data sources—primary research, internal datasets, and open-source information—to uncover patterns, unlock foresight, and inform both near-term moves and long-term plans.

Bringing the pieces 
together

Great decisions rely on great synthesis. We connect learnings across functions, sharpen priorities, and translate complexity into a cohesive story that’s ready to guide action.

Making insights impossible 
to ignore

Compelling stories drive impact. We transform findings into high-impact deliverables—editorial-style reports, dashboards, infographics, podcasts, and films that make your insights memorable and shareable.

Continuously improving 
quality and speed

We’re constantly evolving our data analytics and business intelligence tools, finding smarter ways to integrate information, strengthen data quality, and deliver smarter outcomes, faster.
