“Our goal is to make Roubini ThoughtLab an incubator for truly innovative thinking that will help executives decipher and respond to transformative change in today’s fluid marketplace,” said Lou Celi, CEO and Founder of Roubini ThoughtLab. “Our partnership with ESI will extend our firm’s ability to provide expert opinion and analytical rigor across a range of industries, countries, management issues and social concerns.”
A new model for decision-making
The joint venture will aim to help executives make decisions in today’s complex, interconnected world, where change can come suddenly with cascading global implications and hard-to-predict business impacts. Understanding these trends requires a new mixed-methods research approach, which Roubini ThoughtLab and ESI are developing by blending advanced analytical tools with best-of-breed qualitative analysis and expert opinion.
Roubini ThoughtLab will continue to work with its global network of alliance partners, such as the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, the Fortune Knowledge Group, and HBR Analytics Services, all highly respected brands in economic and social analysis, academic thinking, and media outreach. As a collaborative enterprise, Roubini ThoughtLab can assemble the right multidisciplinary research team for each project and help package and deliver the analysis to the target audience.
