About Us
Issues with the highest stakes are increasingly occurring at the intersection of business, government, regulators, and non-financial stakeholders. Mega-trends driven by consumer and voter attitudes and their consequential political impacts are making conventional tools for developing policy proposals, and the case for them, less effective.
Our data driven approach makes sense of this complexity, by showing the long-term political and societal forces on a company or sector. Data and research help us develop integrated policy and advocacy strategies for clients. Alongside powerful framing, we build evidence-based arguments, new policy proposals, actionable ideas and we deliver change through highly impactful strategic communications campaigns.

What we do
We believe near intractable business problems cannot be solved by the win-win strategies of the past.
In a decade that will be defined by major transitions across energy and climate, techno capitalism, and globalism, navigating the political economy – the interaction of citizens, governments and economics - has never been more important to your competitive advantage.
Stonehaven is the consultancy for global leaders looking to act decisively and confidently through the major transitions of our time.

Our offer
STRATEGY | We use data science to predict trends and research to understand what that will mean for your future operating environment.
POLICY | We consult with you to craft an effective, distinctive and sustainable response.
ADVOCACY | We build coalitions and advocate to policy makers, to ensure your response is delivering shareholder and stakeholder value.
We are powered by a data ecosystem, of voter and consumer insights, learning and optimising from engagement data across trends and sectors in the UK and globally. We learn from each project and capture the data for the next one.
By combining this data with expertise, we create strategies, policy frameworks and campaigns that deliver renewed certainty for our clients and positive impact for the societies we work in.
