A fresh perspective on policy
Pivotal is Northern Ireland’s independent public policy think tank, built by a team of future facing thinkers. Working across the community, our focus is on evidence-based ideas and policies to improve our society, economy and public services.
A team of
future facing
thinkers
We are a team of future facing thinkers who aim to address public policy issues with a diverse range of voices and evidence based research.
Our work
Inform
We inform public debate by producing in-depth research, analysis and commentary of major issues impacting our society. Through our analysis we provide evidence-based insights that guide decision-making, pinpoint emerging trends, foster understanding, and inspire meaningful action for an improved society.
Enable
We enable people to engage in debate by providing the tools and knowledge needed to understand how our government operates and how public policy is developed, debated, and decided. Through engagement, and convening those with expertise and experience, we empower individuals to participate meaningfully in shaping the decisions that impact their lives and the lives of others.
Influence
We influence policymakers and opinion formers, through our research and engagement, to produce better, evidence-led public policy. Our aim is to use this influence to help shape better outcomes for the people for Northern Ireland.
