Our Advisory practice lies at the heart of NF’s consulting offerings. We help governments, businesses, and institutions chart the right course – from high-level policy design to on-ground strategic planning. Unlike consultants who provide abstract advice, we ensure our recommendations are actionable and tailor-made for implementation. Below are the core consulting areas within our Advisory services:
We guide leadership teams in creating robust strategies and policies that drive development and competitiveness. This includes economic development strategies, sectoral roadmaps, and institutional reforms. We often work closely with government departments and apex bodies to shape policies in areas like investment promotion, skilling, and infrastructure. Our experts bring experience in Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) reforms and investment promotion initiatives – helping design investor-friendly policies and regulatory simplifications. Crucially, we don’t just advise and disappear; we also assist with the nuts and bolts of bringing policies to life. For example, in our advisory projects we help prepare concept notes, detailed proposals, and policy implementation frameworks for government and other clients. By contributing at this granular level, we ensure the strategy on paper can successfully translate into real-world programs.
At NF, we believe in the power of knowledge and collaboration. Through our knowledge partnership services, we act as a bridge between policy think-tanks, industry bodies, and government agencies. We partner with apex institutions and research organizations to co-create insights that inform decision-making. Whether it’s conducting a policy impact study or developing a best-practice guide, our team excels in primary and secondary research that yields valuable data. We have formal and informal partnerships with universities, industry chambers, and multilateral agencies to stay at the forefront of emerging trends. Through these collaborations, NF helps clients access cutting-edge research and global case studies, enriching the advisory outputs. Our consultants also serve as knowledge partners at key forums and working groups, contributing thought leadership that shapes agendas beyond our direct projects. In essence, when you engage NF, you gain not just our team’s expertise but also our wider network of knowledge resources.
Driving growth is a key theme in our advisory work. NF specializes in advising government agencies (national and state) on economic development strategies, including attracting investments and promoting industries. We have helped organize and strategize for investor summits, trade expos, and global roadshows to showcase regional opportunities. Our team’s background in government relations and investment promotion enables us to craft initiatives that truly resonate with both investors and policymakers. We develop comprehensive Investment Promotion Plans – identifying target sectors, crafting incentive packages, and laying out branding campaigns to put regions on the global map.
Our economic advisory services ultimately aim to create an ecosystem where doing business becomes easier and growth is inclusive.
Across all our advisory offerings, quality and partnership are our hallmarks. We work hand-in-hand with our clients – often embedded within their teams – to ensure recommendations are understood, refined, and adopted. From strategy to policy to partnership, NF’s Advisory services equip leaders with clarity and confidence to make bold decisions. We’re here to be your strategic counsel as you navigate complex challenges, offering knowledge-backed, context-aware advice every step of the way.
