Our Mission
OTAP links threat intelligence to pragmatic peacebuilding. Our client work delivers risk insights into stabilisation pathways.
We publish reports on transnational risks, map levers for de-escalation, and train the next generation through structured apprenticeships.
Thanks to our partners, we can scale our outputs and establish early-warning and scenario units that institutions and firms can rely on during crises.
Our Philosophy
OTAP doesn’t advocate for peacebuilding; we provide realistic incentives. Conflicts emerge when diplomacy fails to address stakeholder concerns, which is why we approach peacebuilding a little differently.
-
Applying a realist approach to policymaking, we recognise that peace starts at the very top. By incentivising actors using a broad toolkit, we leverage foreign investment opportunities and results-based aid delivery proposals to ensure the political rivals of today become the business partners of tomorrow.
-
Using our blend of peacebuilding insight and strategic foresight, we help clients understand where risks are emerging and why. We combine predictive intelligence, political history analysis and incentives-based approach to diplomacy to generate practical, tailored policy options so that you’re not just reacting to crises, but prepared to shape what comes next.
-
Training the professionals of tomorrow is a core part of our mission. Through our intelligence and policymaking apprenticeships, students and recent graduates are given real responsibility, access to guidance, and a space to be rewarded for initiative.
