Further Together
We are business performance experts who combine highly specialized knowledge – across a range of fields – with hands-on collaboration, to enable our clients and their people to go further. We are 1300 employees operating in 15 countries across Europe, North America and Asia, and have a 35-year track record of providing leadership and sharing insight.
By focusing on innovation, finance, operations and people we are proven to deliver a return on investment:
R&D and Innovation
New thinking, research and development are fundamental to staying competitive and keeping control of your business environment, but funding and tax in this field are complex and often under-exploited, as is the importance of company-wide engagement. We support some 15,000 R&D and innovation projects worldwide each year, generating $1.5b in funding.
Tax & Finance
Controlling your growth costs is essential to developing your company over the long term and ensuring its sustainability. You must guarantee the profitability of your investments, focus on growth-generating projects and allow them to be financed by equity or external financing. One lever to ensure recurring results is to identify and evaluate tax reductions by applying the current applicable law.
Operations
When treated creatively, especially now in this age of digital transformation and big data, operations can be a vital source of control and commercial advantage, including information and innovation. We bring particular expertise to procurement and supply chain. On average we produce 15% savings for our clients’ operations: some $375M a year.
People
By finding new ways to engage and motivate employees, we help companies reach their potential. Effort, risk, knowledge, morale, decision-making: every individual is a world of possibility. We’ve trained over 50,000 people, and we provide around $450M in HR savings annually for our clients.
We base our work on a deep understanding of need and context: every business is unique, each situation is different, “off-the-shelf” is rarely sustainable. We deliver real results by executing and implementing projects alongside our clients, on the ground, and seeing them through until they make a genuine impact. Our work is carried out based on sharing highly specialized knowledge: we employ leaders in the fields of engineering, data science, tax, physics, chemistry, medicine and more ¬– people who are able to talk to your experts on a peer-to-peer basis.
Overall, we bring new energy to our clients by helping improve decision-making at all levels, increasing funding and decreasing costs while building trust and a supportive environment of continual improvement. It is a collaborative, human approach mixed with digital efficiency. Through extraordinary relationships we have achieved extraordinary results, and our confidence in our work means we frequently offer to share risk and reward with our clients. Our relationships are built to last; many stretch back over a decade.
