We combine scholarly rigour with decades of high-level policymaking and operational experience. Our analyses are rich and in-depth, because surface-level thinking doesn’t cut it when national security questions are on the line.
Whether you're a government executive facing a critical decision, an industry leader considering a procurement bid, or a business association trying to influence a shifting policy environment, we arm with you with evidence-based analysis and solid recommendations that you can trust.
Our principals, Philippe Lagassé and Patrick Lennox, have been working together since 2007, when both were named to the Royal Canadian Navy’s Strategic Advisory Group. Since then, they’ve advised the highest levels of government on defence policy and procurement, intelligence and policing reform, and institutional design.
Our partnership is grounded in trust, independence, and a relentless drive to advance Canada’s national interests. We challenge each other to think critically, dig deeply, and never settle for easy answers. We’re ready to do the same for you and your organization.
We don’t hand you a deck and disappear. We work with you to untangle wicked problems, achieve your objectives, and make meaningful change.
We guarantee that none of our work will rely on Artificial Intelligence unless the client specifically requests otherwise.
