Our Entrepreneurial Services Offering provides individual entrepreneurs, start-up companies, and corporate development teams a variety of resources to accelerate the value capture associated with new ventures.
Our Concept Co-Development Offering is provided through our Corporate Creativity Centre™ to foster value creating idea generation. The offering is especially well positioned to add value to the establishment of new business entities, products, services, or revenue streams.
Our Business Planning Offering covers the development, review and refinement of start-up, annual or longer-term business plans. Both strategic and operational plans can be pursued under this offering.
Through our Branding Offering we provide naming, logo and identity development, electronic branding strategy and brand architecture services. We can also integrate our branding and customer experience management offerings to ensure the consistent delivery of a company's brand promise.
Through our Company Formation Offering we partner with global specialists to deliver services that maximise strategic and economic benefits for businesses and entrepreneurs. These include the formation and administration of Offshore Companies, Trusts and International Structures.
Our Management Recruitment Offering is designed to build and nurture arguably the most critical asset a business of any size or stage of development has – namely, its people. The offering ensures that any gaps or unforeseen opportunities in current human resource capabilities are addressed with professional, experienced and relevant talent. Depending on the situation, management capabilities can be directed toward project-based or fixed-term advisory / coaching placements, permanent employee placements, or digital ‘wet teams’ (intended to provide answers and advice to management, structured on a tailored basis to suit).

Our Business Direction Offering is a logical starting point for making positive change. Together we craft a company’s vision, mission and goals, based on a comprehensive analysis of key business drivers, customer needs, value propositions, market positioning, critical success factors, core competencies and capability networks. Potentially encompassing scenario planning models, we outline the means to achieve your desired business outcomes.
Our Market Analysis Offering is geared toward transactional opportunities where a company is considering either entering a new market organically (either geographically or via a new offering), or expanding through the merger or acquisition of an existing market player, or indeed exiting a particular market in as sound a manner as is possible.
The appropriate method for analysis will be offered depending on the unique circumstances in a particular situation. For a geographic expansion opportunity, an assessment of current and intended capabilities is undertaken and applied against the target environment(s), strategic objectives are defined, an attractiveness model is built, and modes of entry are identified together with resultant impact on the organisation. For a candidate identification opportunity, a model of critical success factors will be built, including the competitive positions and activity relatedness of partners, cultural compatibility, key management assessments, and risk / return scenarios.
Our Operationalising Strategy Offering provides management teams with an accelerated and balanced method of executing against strategies already developed. Key components of the offering include the articulation of discrete activities to be executed within a systematic program, combined with the formulation, adoption and utilisation of a Balanced Business Scorecard to improve ongoing decision making and management capabilities.

Using classic methodologies, our Bespoke Management Consulting Offering takes managements’ most intriguing and trying issues and logically decomposes them through fact-based, hypothesis-driven analyses, to drive toward conclusions and recommendations. The product is a combination of thorough analysis, relevant experience, and refreshing insight.
Our Culture Change Management Offering can assist companies undergoing or embarking on a material change effort. The work can take place either at discrete stages (e.g. assessment or planning) or it can follow the progression of the change program from definition all the way through to implementation and review.
This offering is particularly valuable to companies wishing to realise accelerated benefits during a merger, acquisition or strategic transformation, as it quickly addresses differing operating philosophies, shapes desired behaviours, provides tangible action plans for staff to execute, ensures knowledge and skills transference, and reduces costs and increases the speed of capturing revenue opportunities.
Our Alliance & Strategic Partnership Formation Offering is based on a thorough value net analysis, and considers the alternatives for the realisation of growth objectives – namely, acquisitions, organic growth or strategic alliances. This leads to the establishment of selection criteria (e.g. access to target markets, enhanced delivery against customer needs, beneficial process / administrative opportunities, etc.) and the identification of cross-sector strategic partners most suitable for delivering against intended value propositions. The offering can be tailored to cater for both domestic and cross-border opportunities.
We are also positioned to contribute to the structuring, negotiation and management of the alliance agreement. For example we can bridge the chasm that often arises between the teams responsible for strategy definition and operational execution, through the development of alliance management skills and culture change toward that of a partnering culture.
Our Merger & Acquisition Planning Offering is designed to ensure a successful integration effort, resulting in the timely and comprehensive capture of value by means of cost reduction, customer growth, revenue enhancement, and the expansion of distribution capabilities / presence. We can develop, advise, or lead the integration program required to rapidly stabilise the organisation, accelerate the transition, achieve quick wins, and sustain deliverable targets.
The offering delivers on the most critical pre- and post-deal considerations, including a comprehensive communications strategy / plan, project planning and reporting platforms, project charters and issue resolution processes, risk management practices, and the inspiration of third-party subject matter experts to stimulate a sense of urgency and accountability.
Our Management Buy-Out / Buy-In Offering is designed to work alongside corporate executives who choose to become MBO managers - those who desire more risk-taking, more autonomy, and are willing to trust their instincts. We support MBO managers to mobilise the organisation for growth, with higher levels of empowerment and employee motivation. We can strengthen required supply and distribution relationships, as well as provide increased knowledge and comfort of the practical process involved in undertaking an MBO.
Management Buy-In situations will also benefit from the offering through assistance with MBI team sourcing / structure, business planning, financing, and the application of our Value Extraction Framework™ - designed to leverage people, process and substance comprehensively across the target operating model.
Our Strategic Cost Reduction Offering advises companies on improving their operating performance via significant cost reduction, improved efficiencies, improved internal / external service levels, and strategic sourcing assessments. There is also an emphasis placed on institutionalising a favourable cost control culture to sustain results and ensure ongoing cost management.
Once the target scope has been confirmed, a diagnostic will identify and prioritise opportunities. These will then be verified and quantified, presented for acceptance, and finally implemented, monitored and fine-tuned.
