Alsek is a research firm that monitors events and behaviors for signals that could indicate shifts in global social-economic cycles and trends used in opportunity assessments, risk strategies, and future projections.

To understand the drivers and influencing factors of changes in evolutionary processes, Alsek Research takes an interdisciplinary approach by researching the foundation theories and methodologies of various fields, such as economics, anthropology and geography.  Analysis is backed with current in-depth research to offer projections with foresight. A combination of systems thinking. logic modeling, and causal layer analysis methods are used to capture implications beyond the core, secondary and tertiary factors.

Putting this all together, alternative environments can reveal subtle emerging structures, in which you could be operating, and offers a view of the stability or instability of a long-term projection.  Forces are uncovered that could emerge as unpredicted disruptions that can cause the most impact on a business or investment strategy.

Highlights from the ongoing daily scanning, trend watching, and analysis are published in Alsek's newsletter, EDGY ECONOMICS. This publication is meant to build an understanding of the fundamentals of the global economic structure, and highlight the significant changes of sentiment, signals of new development, and to weigh the implications of influential forces.  Most of all, Alsek filters out the noise of analysts and the media that skew the facts, present imbalanced reports, and lack coverage of underlying major forces.

EDGY ECONOMICS market analysis is published in a timely response based on stock market performance. When the market makes volatile moves or the media emphasizes a particular issue that appears to affect the market or raises significant concerns, a special report update is published to decipher the underlying factors to the volatility.
