We are boundary spanners, helping ambitious ideas transition into evidence and then strategy that holds on the ground
Lakeview works at the intersection of evidence, strategy and implementation, with particular depth in agriculture and natural resources.
We help institutions, foundations and start-ups structure their research and innovation processes, turn complex evidence into decisions, and build the kind of monitoring that drives learning rather than compliance.
Two people who have spent two decades closing the gap between what research knows and what actually gets done, by paying attention to what people do rather than what they are told they should.
What we do
Strategy and program design
Theory of change, project and portfolio shaping, strategic foresight, value propositions for innovation.
Co-design and stakeholder engagement
Work with the people who actually have to live with the results: workshops, living-lab methodology, on-farm experimentation.
Evidence synthesis and decision-ready translation
Materials that AI cannot produce and that decision-makers can act on: evidence-checked briefs, visual frameworks, contextualised academic reviews.
Monitoring, Evaluation and learning
MEL frameworks, reflexive monitoring and adaptive learning for multi-actor programs
Sustainable agriculture and natural capital
Soil health, regenerative practice, carbon and biodiversity markets, MRV system design, integration of agronomic evidence into commercial and policy strategy
