We take pride in delivering what we promise to deliver, helping clients exceed their own expectations by establishing the building blocks for sustainable Value Creation

Maximising Growth & Expansion 

• Expanding Product Range & Markets

We work with you to develop innovative solutions to grow profitable revenue in finding new markets & customers; and extending requirements of your existing customers. (Case Study)

• Developing the Value Chain

Adding value to existing core products is an effective way to extend markets and customers.  We work with you in developing innovative solutions in reaching the end users of your products. (Case Study)

• Extending the Organisation

Additional growth and/or enhanced capabilities are often more easily obtained through acquisition or partnering to extend your organisation.  

With over $3billion in mergers, acquisitions, alliances & joint ventures under our belt, we navigate you through this complex arena, and help you ensure on-going value is realised post implementation. (Case Study)

Cost Optimization & Improving Maturity

•  Improving Asset Efficiency

Managing asset utilisation properly creates value in your organisation.  We diagnose your asset base to identify underperforming assets and non core activity improving organisational effectiveness. (Case Study)

• Turbo-charging Free Cash Flow

Growth requires funding; releasing tied up cash into the operations provides organic funding which lowers the requirement from external resources.  We diagnose your operations to identify and then fix the inefficiencies in capital assets and working capital to literally "turbo-charge" your free cash flow.  (Case Study) 

• Redefining margins

Many organisations have priced their contracts and products using traditional methods that bear no relationship to shareholder value or return on assets; we revitalise your pricing methods focusing on value creation and competitive advantage (Case Study)

Sustaining Growth

• Improving Strategic Competency

Strategy implementation only succeeds when organisational capabilities are aligned to the company's strategic goals.  We work with you to develop a strategic management capability, through continues review processes, which focus on building capabilities and competencies. (Case Study) 

• Integrating Information & Technology

Information from disparate sources and enabling technologies are at the heart of an organisation’s core capabilities required to support sustainable growth.  Whether it is enabling lean & efficient back offices, effective sales channels, or providing transparency and informed decision support.    We have worked with many companies to integrate management information and transition them to “next generation” technologies, ensuring that investments support agile & dynamic growth, as well as superior returns. (Case Study)

• Governing  Operations

Managing risk is essential to sustainable growth. High profile companies have recently seen value destruction through ineffective risk management procedures.   We develop, with clients, a strategic management culture with the ability to continuously measure & report on business decisions, minimizing risk and entrenching strong corporate governance, the cornerstone of sustainable growth. (Case Study)

Commercialising Innovations & New Start-ups

• New Product Development (How we do this)

Most companies have innovative products or services that have yet to reach their full potential, or are embarking on new start-ups.   We ensure your Intellectual Property is maintained and protected, as we develop global penetration of your innovations. Our aim is to turn great ideas into commercial reality by creating global innovative companies in which people want to invest.

We do this by:

• turning inventions and your unique ideas to international patent coverage
• releasing your innovation's global potential
• commercialising through channel development
• minimizing funding, expenditure and risk to the inventor
• maximizing returns to all stakeholders

• New venture Start-up (Examples)

We have been successful for the last fifteen years in bringing new ideas and start-up companies to market, exceeding entrepreneurial expectations.
