Please review the services we offer:

Acquisitions

In general, acquisitions should be employed with great caution. Research highlights known issues that threaten the success of acquisition for the bidder. These include paying an excessive premium compared to the projected added value through synergies or efficiencies, and issues associated with realizing potential synergies. We help clients to assess and test the strategic rationale for acquisition, informed by extensive fact-based research, along with a detailed audit of the commercial aspects and value potential for our client.

Joint Ventures

Joint ventures are appropriate where sustainable competitive advantage can be achieved together, but not separately. These arrangements can overcome problems of lack of resources and competencies, and provide possibilities for each partner to optimize their development opportunities. We help clients to determine the added value of collaborating through a joint venture, and recommendations on arrangements to ensure appropriate value capture.

Outsourcing

Outsourcing (onshore or offshore) can be an attractive option to reduce costs, as well as gain flexibility and speed up innovation. We specialize in working with firms to design the best outsourcing arrangements, and realize added value from existing outsourcing arrangement. Our advice draws on our keep knowledge of various outsourcing models and associated challenges of adopting these.
