“We believe creating resilience and sustainable economic value requires strategic choices, not incremental improvements.”
Our Services
We tailor our work closely to the objectives and needs of each client, with a strong focus on facts and objective analysis, and a drive to value-added outcomes:
Business planning and strategy.
We work with management to bring together all the elements of a strategy, business plan or major investment proposal. We also have demonstrated approaches to develop new ways of structuring businesses within rapidly-changing competitive and regulatory landscapes.
Scenario development.
We develop scenarios to explore complexity and uncertainties around emerging issues. Scenarios are much more than just sensitivities and provide powerful stories to explore the impact of changes in technologies, regulations and future demand, on business strategy. We do not try to forecast the future but rather to explore “what has to be true” for specific business decisions or investments to be successful.
Strategic risk assessment.
We use multiple techniques for risk assessment and mitigation to explore the impact of key risks on major capital investments and on long-term performance and value. We also help companies identify and track key signposts to emerging risks and tipping points for new opportunities.
Research and fact base development.
We combine quantitative data and deep real-world experience to research market trends and seek industry insights. We use our experience and expertise to assess key market trends and critique market assessments and third-party forecasts (e.g. IEA, Industry Associations, Government, etc.). We build potential alternative scenarios for demand and profitability.
New business creation.
We work to create viable and investable business plans to commercialise in-house corporate IP or to help entrepreneurs develop new businesses from scratch. Our team has played an instrumental role in the design, development and financing of several successful ventures (see Related Businesses).
Market, business and financial modelling.
Our expertise encompasses bespoke models and complex analyses that can incorporate sophisticated valuation techniques, accurate accounting and statistical methodologies. Our models can be used to assess value-creating opportunities, identify value at risk, and evaluate the effectiveness of different strategies. We then develop conclusions and insights about the viability of specific investments or strategic actions.
