Let Us Help You Evolve
BlueMaris Ventures is one of the select few service providers able to merge management, sustainability and accountability perspectives into real solutions for you.
Whether you are a business trying to be more socially and environmentally responsible, a development agency working towards the Millennium Development Goals or a conservation organization seeking to integrate community benefits into protected areas, our team of experts will work with you to address your performance needs within three Core Service Areas: Hybrid Strategy Development, Corporate Social Responsibility Solutions and Impact Metrics Development.
Hybrid Strategy Development
Beyond traditional strategic planning, our unique approach utilizes principles of sustainability, market data and contextual analysis in one integrated system to determine the appropriate strategies that will most effectively meet your goals.
Sustainable Strategies Development BlueMaris Ventures employs a holistic approach that incorporates quantitative and qualitative data and uses innovative methods such asconceptual and dynamic modeling as well as participatory techniques to develop sustainable strategies designed for the success of our clients.
Program Development We work with our clients to develop their emerging ideas into structured and functional strategies. Our experience in business, development and conservation gives us the ability to be creative in transforming simple concepts into marketable programs that work.
Niche Analysis To help strengthen the position of our clients within their competitive business, development or conservation arenas, we apply regimented contextual analyses to identify the perfect niche to which they are best suited and more likely to achieve success.
Impact Metrics Development
We pride ourselves on innovating upon best available techniques and standards of performance to enable you to measure not only your success but the difference it has made for the well-being of the community of which you are a part and the naturalresources of which you partake. We never use a generic approach to impact measurement and instead apply dynamic systems-thinking to be sure we are measuring the right things the right way.
Performance Evaluation We apply methods from organizational and management effectiveness frameworks within our Performance Assessment System to evaluate the impacts of corporate social responsibility efforts, development strategies and conservation efforts as well as the efficiency with which impacts were achieved.
Sustainability Impact Metrics Unlike traditional measures of success and monitoring, our approach is built upon the collective relationships between economic, social and environmental factors that determine sustainability. The Accountability Framework we develop specifically for you is comprised of complementary social, economic and, where necessary, biological impact-response indicators that, in conjunction with one another, confer understanding of progress towards your sustainability goals.
Baseline Assessment To understand where you are starting from, we utilize methods from social and natural resource sciences as well as economics to establish baselines using credible information sources, international and national datasets and through the design and application of cost effective surveys and replicable sampling strategies. BlueMaris Ventures also develops client-specific indicator tracking systems, scorecard reporting tools, impact indices, and other information-based tools for ongoing monitoring and effective reporting of sustainability and stewardship impacts to donors, partners, stakeholders and other constituents.
Community Engagement and Social Responsibility Solutions
We work with you and your stakeholders to arrive at strategies that satisfy community needs as well as your desire to be socially responsible. Where possible, we catalyze and facilitate partnerships among public sector and private sector actors as well as non-profit organizations for the implementation of socially responsible efforts.
Socio-Economic Integration Using proven tools and methods, we customize an approach that makes socio-economic considerations clear and tangible enough to incorporate into business practices, poverty reduction strategies, conservation programs, protected areas management, the development of environmental standards and regulations as well as other areas in which social, cultural or economic contributions have typically been neglected.
Social Impact Assessments We use state of the art techniques including dynamic modeling to provide systematic appraisal of the potential impact of proposed projects, development plans and policy changes on the livelihoods and well-being of critical stakeholders whose communities, resources and environment will be affected.
Applied Socio-Economic Research BlueMaris Ventures can help ensure that business strategies, development projects or conservation programs are designed and implemented in accordance with local needs, customs and socio-economic realities by conducting primary and secondary research regarding stakeholder perceptions, social organization, socio-economic drivers and cultural norms using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods.
