Estonian legislative drafting principles, as well as the culture of public administration and policymaking often require public sector organisations to justify their policy choices and decisions on the basis of qualitatively and quantitatively analysed evidence. In addition to ensuring the legality of public sector actions, this approach also helps maximise the effectiveness and impact of policy decisions.
Businesses and non-profit organisations may likewise require structured and in-depth analysis to support informed and purpose-driven decision-making. In the private sector, research and analytical work is typically more focused in scope and geared towards practical outcomes, such as cost-benefit analyses, assessments of the impact of legislative changes, or evaluations of market opportunities.
PwC has extensive experience in delivering analyses related to public sector reforms, as well as conducting strategic research and studies for private sector clients.
