Strategy built for reality.
We are a small firm in Munich. Boards bring us in when a decision is too big to delegate and too tangled to think straight about, and they want someone in the room with no stake in the answer except getting it right.
Strategy, operations and organisation
We advise boards on significant decisions where there is limited precedent and the consequences need careful assessment.
Our work covers business strategy, the operations needed to carry it out, and the responsibilities of the people leading that work.
Where the company is going
Where to compete. More to the point, where to stop.
02The next leg of growth
Finding the next engine once the current one starts to cough.
03How the work actually moves
Making the business work better, not merely cost less.
04Structure, authority, and succession
Putting decision rights where the strategy actually needs them.
05Technology that pays its way
Helping older companies move when the ground shifts under their industry.
06Recovering lost ground
Finding why the numbers slipped, then making the fix stick.
07Governance and the shocks ahead
Seeing the shock before it lands, and standing back up after it does.
How we develop our advice
Test the evidence
We test our initial conclusions against the evidence. The early work gives the board a basis for examining the recommendation and its assumptions.
Develop recommendations with the team
We work with the people making the decisions and those responsible for carrying them out. They help develop the recommendation before it is finalised.
Agree what the work should change
At the start, we agree what the assignment is intended to change. We use that purpose to assess the work and the recommendation.
Consider the longer-term consequences
We consider the longer-term consequences alongside current priorities, including the costs and obligations a decision may create later.
Let's talk.
There is probably a decision behind your reason for being here. Tell us what it is. A first conversation is short, in confidence, and free of any expectation that it leads to a second.
