The way life is designed is not always how it is experienced. On paper, systems work. Yet daily life often feels different. The cracks appear quietly, long before numbers change.
That leaves leaders with one question: how do you make decisions that truly improve quality of life over time?
Quality of Life Reports are a decision tool. They help leaders align data and intention with reality, so quality of life improves not only in metrics, but in everyday life, in a sustainable way.
Because quality of life is the new success™
Who it’s for
A QOL Report supports leaders responsible for how people live, work, and belong in a place:
Cities and municipalities navigating change
Teams shaping destinations and local identity.
Communities and hubs where people come together to work and live.
Developers creating the spaces that shape everyday life.
Our approach
We work with a human‑centered lens looking at how economic dynamics translate into daily life.
We observe how people actually experience their days, including how time, pace, pressure, and interaction shape ordinary life, and how trust and social cohesion change over time.
These lived signals are read in context and connected to growth strategies, policy choices, tourism, mobility, and other forces shaping everyday reality.
The aim is sense-making: turning early signals into insight that helps decision-makers adjust direction with awareness and better timing.
the Quality of Life report
Each report is tailored to the place, but brings together:
Lived experience insights How people experience daily life across how they live, work, feel, and contribute.
Early signals Subtle shifts in mood, behavior, expectations, and pressure, long before they become visible problems.
System context How economic dynamics, tourism, policy choices, and external forces shape those experiences.
Interpretive analysis Clear sense-making that connects human signals to strategic reality.
Quality of Life snapshot
Before a full report, or alongside it, we also create a Quality of Life Snapshot.
A fast way to sense what’s really happening. Before a full report, or alongside it, we create a Quality of Life Snapshot.
Clear, visual, and easy to share. A concise one-pager drawn directly from the Quality of Life Report. (see example shown)
Immediate orientation. It offers a quick sense of what is shaping daily life beneath the surface.
Focus for decision-makers. It helps leaders see where attention is needed and what to explore next.
Designed to open conversations. Often used in early discussions, board briefings, partner meetings, or as a shared reference before deeper work begins.
Quality of Life tension analysis
Deeper insight at moments that matter. For cities and destinations that want to explore further, we offer an additional analytical layer: the Quality of Life – Economic Tension Analysis.
Clarity on trade-offs. This analysis looks at how economic success and growth translate into everyday life, where pressures increase, and which dynamics shape future quality of life over time.
Early visibility of emerging risks. It brings attention to accelerating pressures and longer-term implications that often remain unnoticed until they surface more clearly.
Support for conscious decision-making. The tension analysis is used as decision support ahead of major policy or growth choices, or as a focused follow-up to a Quality of Life Report.

From report to action
Insight only matters if it improves daily life. That’s why a QOL Report can be followed by a focused action phase.
Human signals are translated into changes people actually feel in their everyday routines. This is where my creative and alternative thinking comes in, introducing fresh and sometimes disruptive perspectives on societal challenges.
When needed, this leads to practical concepts that cities or organizations can act on directly.
