Several factors distinguish our practice from the other top tier strategy consulting firms:

Insight

• The work is idea intensive rather than process intensive
• We help clarify and resolve complex issues relating to major strategic and organisational challenges
• We aim to develop insight and specific, actionable ideas
• We do not market packaged solutions in search of a problem

Director intensive teams

• "High octane" teams with involved Directors and few analysts
• Directors solving problems, providing counselling and judgement as well as analysis
• Experienced practitioners reach the core of issues faster, apply judgement or narrow the solution set more quickly and utilise well tried frameworks and methodology
• Not Directors managing a project by leveraging a large team of junior consultants to apply a standard process

In long term client relationships

• We work closely with the client, founded on the desire for the client
  • to own the outcome
  • to build capability
  • to earn sustainable benefits
• We provide leadership to complement the client's own expertise and resources
• We enjoy long standing relationships with clients based on trust in a consistent, involved team
• Enduring relationships last as long as quality work delivers sustainable benefits

Flexible involvement

• With client relationships we contribute flexibly
• Sometimes a short, pragmatic involvement can capitalise on indepth knowledge and will suffice
• In other cases, more significant resources and investigation are necessary
• Our flexibility sees digestible pace and cost effective arrangements
• We strive to align our incentives with the client's long term interests
