O’Sullivan & Partners Enquire

Our Work

Institution building

From founding a think tank to connecting it to the people who can help it grow: what O’Sullivan & Partners does, stage by stage, and the services we offer.

I

Setting up a think tank

O&P can build the bones, and add flesh.

We provide

  • Governance models
  • Line management
  • Research and editorial pipelines
  • Academic advisory councils and peer review
  • Operations and staff onboarding

Most think tanks are set up to influence. Be it advancing one idea to a few specialists, or speaking directly to the general public on a whole philosophy.

That set-up process is often led by research teams whose primary purpose is research, not management. This means delays, muddled strategies, haphazard systems.

We take care of functions — from compliance to accounts to events to media planning — allowing the people who matter to concentrate on building the best ideas possible.

We offer modular packages to turn a small operating budget into an organisation that punches above its weight.

II

Building up a think tank

O&P can take something good, and burnish it up to great.

  • Better Comms
  • Better Research
  • Better Targeting
  • Better Hiring
  • Easier Admin

For existing organisations, we can consult on management systems, renew strategy, and supply back office support.

We find ways to drive down cost, drive up efficiency, to use data more comprehensively, and make sure every part of the org speaks to the others: a harmonious whole.

Our database of researchers, academics and movers within the space is a roll call for finding the right face for the next paper, the next flagship fellow, or the next team leader.

III

Developing a think tank

  • Finding the connections that count
  • Sourcing funders
  • Establishing new networks

We believe there is much more to be done to connect the Right, and we want to be a central node in building those linkages.

We map and maintain a network across the conservative world, and we put our clients in front of the people who can help them grow: funders, fellows, partners and audiences.

With our annual Repealing O’Sullivan’s Law Conference, we’ve committed to growing the movement by finding and funding the brightest minds with the boldest ideas.

Tell us what your organisation needs, and we will put a proposal together.
