By using a developed and structured methodology, the randomness of identifying and exploring opportunities is reduced.

The core of West Sands credibility and capacity emerges from three complementary
groups of assets:

Human source - private intelligence network »

  • West Sands draws on a diverse network of in-country sources developed over 15 years, and selected on the basis of their access, sector knowledge, background, reputation and responsiveness.
  • West Sands recognises that the relationship it has with its network is primarily based on trust, and is the most valuable asset of the business. The quality and diversity of this network is key to providing clients with the best possible service.
  • Based on a clear brief and full understanding of client objectives, West Sands identifies specific resources who are chosen on the basis of their individual skill, access or ability to contribute to individual client projects.

Analytical methodology »

The partners of West Sands have been active in the development of intelligence and analytical methodologies for public, private and non-governmental clients. West Sands has always been independent and unconstrained by institutional approaches.

Proprietary knowledge database »

West Sands continuously builds upon past work and a constant stream of data compiled from multilingual sources. A bespoke internal knowledge database collates this data, allowing West Sands to mine information, help direct specific mandates, map out important relationships, and be highly responsive to client timelines.


Working closely with clients on the context of a specific mandate, using these three primary tools, West Sands transforms data and information into useable, actionable intelligence that increases transparency, reduces risk, and enables more definitive client decision-making. West Sands provides a client-focused, flexible and innovative approach.
