Our Difference

Distinct. Actionable. Independent.

Be different. Step out of the comfort zone. Break away from the traditional consulting model that delivers similar advice to what you have heard before.

As a privately-owned and nimble business, we are able to make decisions that are in the best interest of our clients. This freedom from bureaucracy and internal politics gives us the autonomy and agility required to ensure our ways of working can be what the consulting industry, and you as our client, needs today. 

Our Points of Difference
Need some grounded advice?
Let us know your strategic objective and how we can help. We will be in touch soon to discuss this with you in more detail.

Offering

We are the first firm to offer end-to-end strategy consulting services. From strategy formulation to execution, to ongoing reporting and communications, we translate cutting-edge advice into commercially executable solutions across the entire strategy value chain.

Objectivity

Our consultants do not hold Directorship positions that could give rise to a conflict of interest. As such, our advice is always objective and unbiased. We are happy to deliver difficult messages if we believe it’s the best advice for your organisation.

Measurability

We deliver results that you can actively measure and track. We focus our attention on identifying relevant key performance indicators (KPIs) while establishing appropriate milestones and implementation trackers to gauge your performance.

Engagement

All of our projects are led by a senior and highly experienced team, giving clients access to the right level of dialogue and expertise. We will also engage the firm’s broader consulting team (including its subject matter experts) when needed to give you the best insights for your given situation.

Continuity

We don’t believe in one-off projects. We focus on developing long-term, strategic partnerships with all of our clients by engaging with them across the entire spectrum of the strategy value chain. We always have our clients’ long-term business interests at heart.

Methodology

We don’t believe in hypothesis-led inductive reasoning and upfront conclusions. While we will always have ingoing views, we believe the most valuable recommendations are derived from fact-based deductive reasoning, supported by robust, data-driven analysis.

Relevance

Our output always remains clear and to the point. Rather than providing you with endless ’30,000 feet’ ideas that are irrelevant and lack concrete deliverables, we provide actionable advice tailored to each individual client, supported by comprehensive execution plans.

Expertise

All of our consultants have considerable industry and in-house experience, particularly in financial services. As such, we have a sound understanding of the companies we advise and a commercial acumen that many of our competitors lack.

Stewardship

As consultants, we understand a lot of our clients want access to data, whether it be on their industry, competitors or customers. All of our proprietary data is extensively validated through our industry sources, while assumptions, methodologies and estimates are clearly explained.

Value

Our competitive pricing reflects our low operational overheads and a strong focus on cost control in every project: we minimise unnecessary travel costs by leveraging modern communications technology and acquire 3rd party data on a needs-only basis.
