Projects

By combining business experience, a scientific workshop and a passion for sport, we believe that we are able to increase the positive impact of sports organisations on society.

All the projects we carry out allow us to share knowledge and promote the topic of good governance.

Aim of the project

The SPLISS (Sports Policy factors Leading to International Sporting Success) project offers over 15 years of expertise in evaluating elite sport systems globally. Through benchmarking, SPLISS assesses the effectiveness and efficiency of a nation's elite sport policies and climate, providing countries with valuable insights on how they compare to more than 17 other nations. The goal is to help nations understand what makes elite sport systems successful and identify opportunities for improvement.

The main assumptions of the project include:

The SPLISS model evaluates elite sport systems based on key success factors that influence international sporting success,

The project actively engages key stakeholders, such as elite athletes, coaches, and performance directors, in assessing the performance of a nation's sport system.

A systematic scoring method is used to evaluate and compare a nation's elite sport policies and investments against other countries,

SPLISS collaborates with local researchers and partners to ensure a comprehensive and context-specific analysis.
