Helping ambitious ideas transition into evidence and then strategy that holds on the ground

Lakeview works at the intersection of evidence, strategy and implementation, with particular depth in agriculture and natural resources.

We help institutions, foundations and start-ups structure their research and innovation processes, turn complex evidence into decisions and build the kind of monitoring that drives learning rather than compliance.

Our goal is to help close the gap between what research knows and what gets done, by paying attention to what people do rather than what they are told they should.

What we do

Strategy and program design

Theory of change, conceptualisation, project and portfolio shaping, strategic foresight, value propositions for innovation

Co-design and stakeholder engagement

Work with the people who live with the results: user-centric and agile design methodologies, collaborative on-farm experimentation, workshops, informal learning

Evidence synthesis and decision-ready translation

Materials that AI cannot produce and that decision-makers can act on: evidence-checked briefs, visual frameworks, contextualised academic reviews

Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning

MEL frameworks, reflexive monitoring and adaptive learning for multi-actor programs

Sustainable agriculture and natural capital

Soil health, regenerative practice, carbon and biodiversity markets, MRV system design, integration of agronomic evidence into commercial and policy strategy
