Our journey
Building a firm of the future
By harnessing the incredible potential of technology and the unique spark of human ingenuity, we are building a consulting platform to produce unparalleled client impact.
2004
The genesis of the idea
The idea of a new type of consulting firm takes shape in London, triggered by the gaps in the traditional consulting approach. In particular, we are driven by three key beliefs:
1. Strategy and execution are two sides of the same coin and cannot be addressed in isolation.
2. Diversity of talent is instrumental in achieving well-rounded answers to strategic questions.
3. To produce results collaboration with the client is key.
