A certainty is that the leading economies of the world are competing for leadership within the new global knowledge-based economy. Unprecedented public sector investment in research infrastructure, operating and indirect costs has caused a near exponential growth in academic research capacity and partnering opportunities. At the same time, private enterprise centred within the high-tech, biotech, information technology, telecom, environmental, and health care sectors (among others) have driven economic growth and captured the attention of our best and brightest.

Chetna Inc. understands the key dynamics underlying the knowledge-based economy. Our wealth of experience is interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral. Whether you are:

an academic research intensive group or institution requiring strategic planning and project management to secure funds
a municipality wrestling with how best to support commercialization in order to leverage the opportunity of the new economy
a private sector knowledge-intensive enterprise unsure of how to translate its objectives and products into market success -a provincial or federal government agency or ministry seeking analysis based from on the ground experience
a hospital attempting to strike a balance between research and clinical delivery
Chetna Inc. has been there. Chetna consultants have the experience, connections, and specialized know-how required by knowledge-intensive organizations (KIO). KIOs are complex organizations with highly trained and motivated individuals. KIOs often have to operate within several organizational and funding paradigms. Chetna has the special skill, critical to the success of KIOs to work fluidly within and between disciplines and sectors and to accurately translate. We get results that few others can and this has been recognized by the intimate consulting relationships we have with KIO leaders.
