Services

DGS provides boutique, customer-focused strategic consulting to corporations, global educational institutions, and governments and their legislators or ministers to find diplomatic solutions for a myriad of issues and economic prosperity for a myriad of people. A great deal of our work rests at the interrelationship between business and policy; we firmly understand the complex nature of international markets and their effect on African and Caribbean markets, and help our clients navigate the strategic and operational challenges they face in Africa and the Caribbean, while we continue to build our product platform in Asia.

DGS CAN:

STRATEGIC PLANNING

Create a comprehensive strategy to help your business or educational institution move into the African or Caribbean market, ranging from market entry, or the expansion within a market, to the evaluation of how policy can drive your business needs to which school would be a most suitable partner; and, develop tailored strategies for clients to help them deepen their relationships with stakeholders, resolve complex problems and build and expand their businesses.

POLICY COUNSEL

Write policy briefs that define the issue, analyze the data in a concise summary that will allow us to generate criteria for evaluating the data, explain key assumptions and methodology for said analysis in order to produce recommendations through our theories, while looking at the various options before assessing the feasibility of our findings, and suggesting the next steps before we furnish you with our conclusions. Our policy papers (policy briefs) present a concise objective summary of information that can help you to understand, and make decisions about, international government policies through high effect research, suggesting policy options, and arguing for particular courses of action. At DGS, we do the R&D for you!

GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS

Recognize and classify political risk when you enter emerging markets and help circumnavigate local governmental policy issues that will give you access and a better understanding of that particular region when working in Africa or the Caribbean, with local or state governments, or local partners. Our team of well-respected private and public sector leaders offer prudent and reliable judgment, within a wider macro system of high-level relationships throughout Africa and the Caribbean, and clear counsel to transform your goals into jargon that governments, patrons and stakeholders understand.

GLOBAL EDUCATIONAL ISSUES

COVID-19 TASK FORCE

Since launching a response to this pandemic in the Spring, DGS has learned more about the specific needs for certain products for the American marketplace in order to contain, control and end COVID-19. Presently, through our Asian partners, we can afford American society the best products at the most competitive price points, from the Healgen IgG/IgM antibody rapid test and the Healgen antigen test, to other PPE, including nitrile gloves and N95 masks.
