RIAHSAH Co. is a systems-change organisation working at the intersection of people, systems, and markets to help create more resilient, fair, and forward-looking ways of working and living.
We partner with a wide range of actors, including businesses, public institutions, community groups, and civil society organisations, who are operating in complex and rapidly changing environments.
For market actors, we provide deep insight into markets, value chains, and industry systems to strengthen strategy and innovation. For social and community organisations, we offer capacity-building, facilitation, and applied support to help interventions succeed and adapt over time.
We connect systems, futures, and people across markets and society through research, experimentation, learning, and collaboration to help make informed decisions and take purposeful action.
We envision a future where knowledge and data are democratised to better serve markets and social systems.
Our Systems Informed Foresight® (SIF®) approach helps organisations and institutions anticipate change, make better decisions, and adapt strategies that work in both markets and social systems. We do this through three (3) practical interconnected stages: Awareness → Application → Adaptation - AAA
Awareness – Gaining insight
Understand the forces shaping your environment. Through research, data analysis, and foresight exploration, you gain a clear picture of market dynamics, industry structures, regulatory trends, and social systems, giving you the insight to anticipate challenges and opportunities.
Application – Testing and learning in practice
Move from insight to practice. We help you design, pilot, and evaluate strategies, interventions, or policy approaches. You can test ideas, refine solutions, and generate evidence before scaling, reducing risk and increasing impact.
Adaptation – Evolving strategies
Keep your strategies relevant and resilient. Based on evidence and system feedback, you can adjust approaches in real time, strengthen outcomes, and ensure your interventions or business strategies remain effective in changing markets and social contexts.
Research & Analysis
Understand markets, social systems, institutions, and value chains to make informed decisions, design effective interventions, and spot opportunities before others do.
Foresight
Anticipate trends, risks, and emerging opportunities to guide strategic planning and reduce uncertainty.
Project Design & Implementation
Test strategies and interventions through pilots and adaptive projects, giving you evidence and confidence before scaling.
Collaboration & Capacity Building
Engage stakeholders, build skills, and strengthen your team’s ability to act and adapt within complex systems.
We work across East and Southern Africa with businesses, universities, civic institutions, and international partners, helping them turn insight into action that delivers measurable results.
Our R&I Unit works with you to conduct market research, analyse systems, and test project models to see what works. The results give you practical learning and evidence to shape strategy, drive innovation, and scale solutions across markets and social systems.
Our Learning Studio helps you build the skills and mindset to lead in complex environments. Through courses, learning journeys, and digital resources, we equip business leaders, practitioners, and institutions with systems leadership, foresight, and strategic thinking they can apply to make better decisions and drive impact.
We provide evidence-based consulting to help organisations design strategies, test solutions, and make informed decisions using our systems-informed methodology and sector expertise, delivering measurable impact.
The Systems Futures Community helps you connect, collaborate, and contribute your expertise on real-world projects, while gaining access to research, learning resources, and new opportunities.
We create proprietary, client-commissioned research and reports that provide actionable insights to guide strategic decisions. Every study is fully confidential, and all findings, data, and strategic recommendations belong exclusively to the client, ensuring you can act on the insights with confidence and discretion.
