Brickstone owns, operates and develops businesses that address significant challenges across industries and disciplines.
Strategic Advisory & Resilience
Our advisory businesses help clients work through complex problems where the path forward is unclear. Their work combines evidence, expertise and perspective to identify underlying causes, understand constraints and dependencies, and develop practical solutions.
Serving public and private organizations, these businesses address challenges from national and strategic issues to operational demands. Their capabilities encompass advisory and decision support, integrated analysis, strategy and planning, risk management, and implementation. They help clients weigh options, translate decisions into action and adapt as conditions change.
Health, Independence & Longevity
Advancing health, independence and quality of life across generations requires bringing scientific understanding into practical use. We recognize opportunities where scientific understanding, emerging technologies and specialized services can address needs that existing options do not adequately meet.
Our companies approach these challenges from complementary disciplines, considering how individual circumstances change with age, ability and life experience. Their work seeks to make advances practical and accessible, giving people greater choice in how they care for their health, sustain their capabilities and participate in everyday life.
Intelligence, Software & Advanced Technology
We advance technology to solve complex problems and expand what people and organizations can accomplish. Our focus encompasses intelligent software, automation, specialized devices and integrated hardware and software systems.
These capabilities help people understand complex information, anticipate needs, make informed decisions and coordinate demanding work. Our companies bring software and devices together where a solution requires both, with attention to how people will use and depend on them.
Care, Community & Service Systems
Care and community support should expand people’s choices and opportunities throughout their lives. Our focus includes specialized services, new models of care and technologies that address unmet needs and give people more choice in how and where they live.
We consider both the support a person needs today and the opportunities they should have throughout their life. That means looking beyond an individual service to how housing, education, employment and community participation contribute to a fulfilling life. It also means addressing the systems behind those services, so providers can deliver dependable care, families can plan with confidence and responsibility for outcomes is clear.
Research, Development & New Ventures
New knowledge, original thinking and technical advances open possibilities for addressing challenges that existing solutions cannot adequately resolve. We look across disciplines to understand what is changing, question the limits of existing solutions and recognize possibilities that deserve further development.
Through our companies, we turn those possibilities into focused research, invention and practical application. This can mean developing a new technology, finding an unexpected use for an existing capability or creating a different way to deliver a service. Experimentation and testing help us challenge assumptions, refine ideas and establish whether they can fulfill their intended purpose.
We develop new ventures when an opportunity calls for a business of its own, with the expertise and direction to carry the work forward. Our interest extends from the initial discovery to what it can become in use: a capability that solves a difficult problem, opens new possibilities or changes what an industry can accomplish.
