Observatory + Analytics = Obsalytics
Obsalytics is a social enterprise incorporated under the Canadian Not-for-profit Corporations Act in 2020. Through its products and services, Obsalytics aims to achieve the following three main goals:
Inform
The Canadian public, private, and non-profit sectors on sanctioned and politically exposed persons involved in rebuilding war-torn regions
Empower
Refugees and displaced persons to pursue their rights and access justice in local and universal jurisdictions using data and knowledge
Support
Political and social change by promoting transparency and accountability of prominent entities across all sectors of society
Our Vision
We believe that the future of the deep change efforts exerted by all active forces in the modern societies responding to the complex challenges will pivot on decision support systems that harness the accumulated knowledge to have better comprehension for ecosystems and change trends.
Key Challenges Obstructing Progress
While addressing complex political, economic, or sociological problems, decision makers in governments and active forces in societies are expected to deal with formidable, entangled, and accumulated data in their pursuit to making wise decisions. In almost all cases, they are faced with four main challenges that could easily hinder their decisions:
- Poor realization of the historical roots of the contemporary scene
- Poor realization of the various aspects of the matter in question
- Poor realization of the ecosystem and stakeholders
- Implementing inappropriate solutions for the context, epoch, geography, or stakeholders
Our Solutions
