A strategy is only as strong as the agreement behind it.
Boutique consultancy for leadership teams:
we create strategic room to move in business-critical situations,
from strategy and transformation to complex negotiations.
Define. Agree. Execute.
Why strategy, leadership and negotiation belong together
Strategy decides where value is created. Leadership aligns what a leader wants to achieve with the mandate and resources available, and with what the team and partners are able and willing to contribute. Both depend on agreements: upward for mandate and resources, across and downward for commitment, outward for terms with customers, suppliers and partners.
Strategy without agreement stays on paper. Agreement without strategy can take the business in the wrong direction. We work where the three meet.
Topics
Every engagement starts with a concrete situation. These are the ones we are called for most often.
Industries
PCB & Semiconductors
Glass fabric, copper foil, laminate and printed circuit boards are being allocated. Which customers are still served depends on size, forecast quality, strategic priority and the agreements already in place.
Pharma & Biotech
Price and reimbursement are shaped long before the first payer meeting. The outcome of an access negotiation depends on more than the case made at the table.
Further industries
We also work in telecoms, IT and software, travel and transport, industry and mechanical engineering, automotive, and consumer goods and retail, among others.
On board when the waters get rough
A pilot comes aboard when the passage gets difficult, navigates alongside the captain and leaves once the ship is through. We work the same way: as advisers at the side of those responsible, or as embedded partners who take on responsibility for delivery. The situation decides which.
Only senior partners work directly with clients. That limits our scale, but it keeps us close to the people who decide.
