Business strategy

Investment deals are heterogeneous in their objectives and timescales but often provide the opportunity to generate a step change in business in a relatively short time. A sound business strategy allows the strengthening of the core activities and the creation of multiple pathways for expansion into adjacent markets and frontiers. Building on solid analysis and alignment with the management, we deliver strategies that steer away from vague wishful thinking to specific and coherent policies for growth, with opportunities for capturing and delivering change

Our approach

Where to play

We help businesses critically evaluate and prioritise strategic choices. By developing an understanding of market fundamentals, we define attractive segments for capturing above-average growth. In cases where dynamic market forces constrain value creation, we incorporate scenario planning for the effects of growth depletion

How to win

To create value, a company needs to identify and address the gaps between the market opportunity and its current capabilities. We bring a wealth of expertise to support executives with peer benchmarking and analytics to assess the gaps in the business operating model and performance management. Increasingly, we are developing approaches that help companies drive operational improvements in the supply chain, procurement, and business development

Path to delivery

We build a roadmap with defined steps and KPIs to pursue and deliver on strategy, including tactical initiatives and governance structure. We support management to ensure that the company is prepared and willing to act on a strategy and company priorities
