Praxis brings unparalleled expertise and experience to our advisory service capability. We combine a depth and breadth of professional national security leadership, operational engagement, and senior level decision making with sophisticated, high level research and analytical capabilities. This enables our advisory services to be client-centric, and outcomes-orientated, while guaranteeing that our advice is defensible, empirically informed, and anchored in best practice. We seek to ensure that our client’s needs are appropriately assessed and that deliverables prioritise the requirements of the client. Praxis aims to develop and strengthen the capacity of our clients to address their internal requirements while providing ongoing support and counsel as required. The centrepiece of Praxis’ client-centric advisory model is the development and maintenance of trust and confidence between our personnel and our clients. Ensuring a frank and fearless dialogue between the parties enhances the capacity for client needs to be fully addressed, and for all stakeholders to be appropriately understood, considered, respected, and valued.

Praxis brings a unique approach to our research and analysis practice. We integrate an applied perspective with analytical and research rigour to provide high quality, evidence-informed assessments and reporting. Praxis provides a full spectrum research capability, ranging from country, threat, and context briefings, through to comprehensive, long form reporting and research monographs addressing larger thematic and conceptual questions. All of our research and analytical products are put through an intensive internal peer-review process to ensure that both client needs, and quality control, are maintained. Praxis draws on an extensive and diverse transnational network of trusted experts, field researchers, and analysts, to contribute to our research and analytical efforts, resulting in nuanced, highly-calibrated, and sophisticated outputs. Praxis prides itself on its ability to produce timely, accurate, and comprehensive research and analytical products, and draws on the same client-centric ethos that permeates all our work.

Praxis draws on decades of experience delivering an array of capacity building and capability development programs across the CT and P/CVE domains for audiences including law enforcement, intelligence, military, and a range of community and non-governmental organisations. Praxis’ team have delivered capacity building and capability development programs on behalf of national governments, multi-national organisations, and industry clients in numerous jurisdictions across the Middle East, South and South East Asia, Europe, and Africa. Partnering with governments and other organisations to assist in strengthening the CT and P/CVE capabilities of local enterprises is a core component of Praxis’ commitment to enabling locally-led solutions to the challenges of CT and P/CVE through the empowerment of local authorities, NGOs, and community organisations.

Professional and Executive Development forms an important component of the Praxis enterprise. Collectively, Praxis had delivered thousands of programs to a wide array of clients in a multitude of jurisdictions. The core of Praxis’ professional and executive development work is anchored in CT and P/CVE. However, as an adaptive and actively engaged organisation, we are able to provide a range of professional development capabilities across the broader national security spectrum. The combined expertise and experience of our Directors ensures that our professional and executive development programs are both informed by the latest research and analysis, and orientated towards practical and applied outcomes. Praxis is committed to maximising the tangible outcomes that can be achieved through highly-calibrated, client-centric learning and development, both for practitioners and for senior executives.

At Praxis Advisory, strategic planning and policy development is a core capability developed to enable departmental and organisational planning processes and policy reviews to be informed by suitably independent, knowledgeable, and experienced advice that facilitates optimal outcomes. Praxis brings extensive experience in the national security sector and can provide unique insights into the optimal trajectories, necessary reforms, and ideal structures for maximising both effectiveness and efficiency. Praxis works closely with clients to identify fundamental requirements, cultural and operational needs, and to undertake relevant forecasting and future threat considerations, all orientated to optimising organisational capability and mission success.
