A company may be growing its customer base, managing its costs, collecting critical data from which to draw important insights, and creating a culture of high productivity. At the same time, businesses are increasingly required to prioritise the allocation of resources, thereby putting constant pressure on operational performance and costs. Companies in these situations turn to our experts to help them develop and implement strategies that unlock profitability across the enterprise, and to ensure that they are resilient in the long-term.

Our senior practitioners have worked in executive leadership positions in companies around the world and within multiple industries. We bring this industry expertise along with real-world experience on the efficiency of the target’s operations. We can evaluate resources, capabilities, and current/planned improvements from a cost, timing and achievability perspective.

This customised approach considers the culture, goals and needs of stakeholders and aligns business operations with these critical priorities to deliver company-wide transformation. We unlock profitability by determining the optimal mix of tools, analytics and processes to achieve sustainable revenue growth and resilient and efficient operations.

Organisations must successfully navigate many transformational events, including changes in leadership, M&A activities, shifts in strategy, restructurings and evolving ways of working. They must find the right balance between investing in growth, driving an efficient organisational structure and driving continuous improvement while optimising costs. Processes, structures and people play critical roles in driving necessary changes and creating value. To achieve desired outcomes, businesses must consider organisational design, operating models and governance as well as culture shifts, leadership behaviours and talent development efforts. Drawing on our decades of experience across industries and in every major geographic market, clients lean on our expertise to assess current and future situations, analyse stakeholder impacts, and use these inputs to develop successful organisational transformation programmes.

Organisations undergoing M&A transactions, carve-outs, mergers and post-merger integration efforts need support that creates value, ensures long-term resilience and mitigates risk. At many of the world’s top-performing private equity funds and public and private companies, senior executives (heads of corporate development and strategy, chief financial officers, and chief integration officers in charge of a transaction and the requisite integration of corporate entities) rely on our experts for transaction support to complete the deal successfully and efficiently. Clients benefit from the breadth and depth of our service offerings, which support them throughout the entire M&A transaction life cycle, from decision-making and pre-deal efforts, to post-deal full potential plan design and execution, through to post-merger integration and exit support.

Chief executive officers are often required to produce more growth and profits year after year — and many of them rely on our experts to provide a comprehensive view of the factors that enable their companies to do so. In addition, environmental, social and corporate governance (“ESG”) has become a critical consideration for business leaders, and it’s essential that business strategies take into account ESG commitments and changing regulatory requirements. Our advice is grounded in creating long-term sustainable plans, maximising returns on invested capital, and finding the right alignment of revenue growth plans and operational capabilities that, together, deliver profitable growth. Our strategy consulting services help C-level executives and senior leaders identify new business opportunities, review or redefine existing business models, revise go-to-market strategies and value propositions, improve customer experience as a key lever to drive shareholder value, and understand how technology and digitalisation impact their organisations.

As technology is a key driver of business value and competitive advantage in the digital era, clients across a wide range of industries rely on us to help them develop technology solutions that meet current and future operational demands. Our digital experts help facilitate your organisation’s digital evolution, safeguard your competitiveness and fuel your growth in an increasingly complex landscape. With a focus on outcomes, we drive value from disruption by combining deep data science capabilities with our wider strategic competencies and sector expertise to solve our clients’ most complex issues and to create and protect value from digital tools and data.
