Our Expertise
Business and Development Consulting on emergent economies
Strategy & Organization
We help clients develop IT strategies that are tightly aligned to business goals and corporate priorities, and to design organization and governance approaches to deliver the highest value.
Based on our global experience, input from several major corporations’ CIOs, and a global benchmark database, we have defined both what the objectives and criteria for an IT strategy should be, but also what supporting enablers like processes, organization, and governance should look like. We have also calibrated these to ‘archetypes’ based on the business objectives. This gives us distinctive insight across all levers in how a CIO and CEO should think about the IT function’s strategy.
Globalization
The worldwide movement toward economic, financial, trade, and communications integration.
Globalization implies the opening of local and nationalistic perspectives to a broader outlook of an interconnected and interdependent world with free transfer of capital, goods, and services across national frontiers.
However, it does not include unhindered movement of labor and, as suggested by some economists, may hurt smaller or fragile economies if applied indiscriminately.
Corporate Finance
Dealing with monetary decisions that business enterprises make and the tools and analysis used to make these decisions. We maximize shareholder value.
Our role is to evaluate the company's financial needs and raise the appropriate type of capital that best fits those needs, transactions in which capital is raised in order to create, develop, grow or acquire businesses.
IT Management
Your next round of hiring should include IT professionals who know their way around project management, tech-support, network oversight and security. The longstanding proof of expertise in these and other areas, of course, remains certification programs.
Hiring talent with the right credentials requires significant compensation upgrades.
Sustainability
Sustainability can be understood as an ongoing non-static maintenance of systems. On this site, and now in popular culture, sustainability is understood to be ecological, social, economic, etc in its breadth and meaning.
This concerns viability and health of ecosystems and societies for a period of time greater than a mere seven generations, and can refer to various scales, be they local communities, bioregions, large continents, or whole ecosystem food webs. In recent years it has become important to consider the basic life support dynamics of the entire planet Earth.
Corporate Development
A team that plays a huge part in supporting plans for global growth, advising on mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances and joint ventures, working with colleagues from across the business to manage every stage.
The team has a truly global remit, often working on highly confidential transactions which require overseas travel to analyze and negotiate deals. Team members also work closely with some senior leaders, and colleagues from areas including Legal, Tax, Finance, Strategy & Planning, and Risk.
