Capabilities

To help our clients achieve strategic, substantial and sustainable growth, we’ve assembled a highly capable team of Multi-disciplinary professionals.

From strategic planning, market assessment and project procurement, to operations and business development, functional excellence is the standard for discerning enterprises committed to delivering strategic growth, large scale revenue, and shareholder value.

So you have a business and business is good. How do you make it better? Successful businesses are always looking for ways to add value by improving their products and services.

Next, how do you scale for growth? This is where we can help. We have the experience and capability to successfully position a business to achieve strategic and sustainable growth.

More often than not, growth can be achieved faster through a strategic partner, merger or acquisition.

Growth can also be achieved organically, one project at a time or one client at a time. For some, this is the safest, lowest cost and lowest risk approach, although not the fastest. 

Knowing and understanding the right path to sustainable growth and getting the timing right of when to grow, are critical success factors.

So how do you know when its time to grow your business and what are the signs?

Our clients look to us to help deliver sustainable growth

Because each business is different, the ideas of what growth and expansion mean, vary considerably.

Some companies see M&A as the fastest route to expand, others view organic incremental steady growth achieved over a longer period of time, as the way forward, whilst others see Strategic Partnerships and Internal business development as a path to sustainable growth. Some businesses deploy all four approaches. We have experience with each.

We help formulate the best strategies that’s right for our clients

Some of our clients deploy an organic incremental growth model to achieving their objectives; growing project by project and hire by hire. For some, this is the safest least risk approach to growth and expansion.

Our program of business development services is uniquely structured and organized around the primary activity of project positioning and procurement. Put simply, we provide the essential project procurement and planning resources to help companies successfully grow their business sustainably. Much of our success in delivering sustainable growth for our clients, has been achieved on a project by project basis.

Organic growth

Strategic incremental wins, delivered over the right time, managing and building resources in the process, has been the benchmark of our success. In our experience, the most successful growth companies taking the organic approach to achieving growth, have been those who see strategic incremental wins as the fulcrum upon which all other activities depend.

Growth via M&A

Alternatively, if time to market is the priority, a strategic merger and/or acquisition, can leap-frog your business into a whole new market with extraordinary possibilities.

Decision support and risk opportunity assessment

Successful growth and expansion is impossible to achieve in the absence of good decision making. Similarly, it is not impossible to make quality decisions that shape a business using incomplete, inaccurate or unreliable information from a questionable source.

Our team comprises professionals with exceptional capabilities in risk management and decision support. We deploy a proprietary systems, tools and process for assessing, quantifying, and measuring decision quality. These include GO-NO-GO risk opportunity assessment matrix designed to improve and drive decision quality and the deployment of resources needed to support decisions.
