“The Outsight team has worked with us on an array of projects over the past few years. Their versatility and deep understanding of the humanitarian and development sector and its actors, has allowed us to fill gaps efficiently and produce quality results. We have utilised their expertise in a project management, workshop facilitation and events management capacity.I highly recommend Outsight International to organisations looking for an innovative approach to problem-solving and high-quality subject matter expertise.”
— Klaus Schönenberger, Director — EssentialTech Centre, EPFL
“We brought in Outsight to assess the feasibility of implementing a new process of restoring family links and identifying the origin of human remains using isotopic analysis in the Southern African region. Working with the forensic team and identified stakeholders, Outsight helped us to understand how such a tool could function, its associated systems, and what would need to be in place for it to be successful. This outsider perspective allowed us to start planning a strategy and think about next steps with clarity and focus.I would highly recommend Outsight to organisations looking for a new perspective and clear strategy options on how to implement new systems or projects. Their efficiency and understanding of the intricacies of international organisations provides a significant added value that would be hard to find elsewhere.”
— Stephen Fonseca, Regional Forensic Manager – Africa, ICRC
“MSFeCARE Program of MSF Geneva engaged with Outsight International to conduct a market survey of technology tools and platforms – a Tech Watch initiative, that are comparable in their features and functions to serve competently and competitively as electronic decision support tool options for MSF. Outsight diligently reviewed and scored various options with us. During this process, their perspective and experience in the field of digital health and innovation and vendor selection was evident and very useful to our team. They efficiently managed coordination, reference checks, demonstrations and q&a sessions between prospective solution providers and MSF, and adroitly led us to a conclusion of the Tech Watch with a tangible set of next steps.We would highly recommend Outsight International and engage with them in the future, should the need arise.”
— Sonia Karkare, Head of eCare Programme — MSF Switzerland 
“Outsight International have provided us with highly professional consultancy services to deliver an inter-disciplinary review whether technology can be a source for good, in the sphere of young people’s mental health. They have brought in the right expertise at the right time and delivered their commitments both to time and with a enduring positive attitude.”
— Data for Children Collaborative with UNICEF
“It was such a pleasure working with Gunes Kocabag from Outsight. I can only drown her with positive feedback because I was so incredibly impressed with her facilitation skills. Gunes was patient, kind, encouraging and had an uncanny ability to summarize complex discussions into accurate snapshots of the conversations when feeding back. Her ability to manage different personalities and keep participants interested throughout the 3.5 hour workshops was incredibly impressive.”
— Azmina Dhrodia, Senior Policy Manager, Gender and Data Rights
