Services
Consulting services built on operations research
Lateral Eco Solutions offers five services: strategic planning, environmental consulting, healthcare consulting, engineering design, and research and analysis. Each one starts with a diagnosis of your situation and uses data and optimisation to recommend the decisions that make the best use of your resources.
Strategic Planning
Strategic planning turns broad goals into a plan you can defend. We map your objectives, constraints and options, test them against data, and recommend the course of action that achieves the most with the resources you have. We have applied this approach to national policy development and implementation with the Ministry of Health.
What this includes
- Diagnosis of current performance, constraints and priorities
- Scenario and option analysis to compare courses of action
- Policy development and implementation support
- Roadmaps that sequence decisions and resources

Environmental Consulting
Our environmental consulting helps organisations understand how their buildings and operations use resources, and what to change. We audit facilities, analyse what we find and rank improvements by impact and cost, so sustainability decisions get the same rigour as any other investment.
What this includes
- Building audits and facility assessments
- Analysis of resource use across sites and operations
- Improvement plans ranked by impact and cost
- Support to put the recommended changes into practice

Healthcare Consulting
Healthcare consulting is a core part of our work. We have supported the Ministry of Health with national policy development and implementation, and delivered medical equipment service and maintenance. Every health engagement follows the same approach: understand how the system performs today, then find the decisions that improve it.
What this includes
- Health policy development and implementation support
- Medical equipment service and maintenance
- Data collation and modelling for planning and procurement
- Diagnosis of how services and equipment perform today

Engineering Design
Engineering design at Lateral Eco Solutions means solutions shaped around how your organisation actually works. We diagnose the problem first, then design and implement the fix, whether that is a maintenance programme for medical equipment or improvements found in a building audit. Every design is judged on how well it uses your resources.
What this includes
- Diagnosis of technical and operational problems
- Tailored design of systems, processes and equipment plans
- Service and maintenance planning
- Implementation support through to handover

Research and Analysis
Our research and analysis turns scattered data into evidence. We collate current and historical records, structure them, and build models that show what is happening and what would happen under different decisions. This is how we created the models that were used to optimise procurement. Findings are then shared in clear, usable formats.
What this includes
- Collation and cleaning of current and historical data
- Statistical analysis, forecasting and optimisation models
- Research design and evidence reviews
- Information, communication and education (ICE) material
