Four ways in.
One result.

Every engagement is shaped around the result you need. Most draw on more than one of these.

Mountain ridges emerging from low cloud

01

Advise

Strategic advice for leadership teams and boards.

Clear thinking for the decisions that shape the business, from people who know what it takes to carry them out. We support direction-setting, operating-model choices, acquisitions and integrations, and the business cases that have to hold up before you commit.

When to call us

  • A strategic choice that affects supply chain, procurement, operations and product management
  • An acquisition, merger or divestment where operations must be assessed or brought together
  • A business case that has to hold before you commit

What you get

  • An experienced view of the options and what each will demand of the organization
  • A decision basis that shows the value, the risks and the path to delivery
  • A sparring partner for the leadership team through the change that follows

How we know it worked

The decision is made, owned and translated into a plan the organization can deliver.

02

Improve

Management consulting where supply chain, procurement and the commercial plan meet.

We improve how the business plans, buys and serves its customers — with changes that show in service, cost and working capital, and that people can run without us.

Areas

  • Supply chain and planning

    S&OP and IBP, demand and supply planning, inventory and working capital, intercompany flows.

  • Procurement and sourcing

    Sourcing strategy, spend categories, supplier management and procurement operating models.

  • From category to shelf

    Category management, assortment management and space planning, connected to the supply chain that serves the shelf.

When to call us

  • Plans are made in separate functions and reconciled too late
  • Service, cost or capital are moving the wrong way, and the cause is unclear
  • Ways of working have not kept up with growth, new channels or a new structure

What you get

  • A clear picture of where value is lost today
  • New ways of working, roles and decision rights that people can run
  • Measures that show the improvement, and who owns it

How we know it worked

The new way of working runs without us, and the measures move.

03

Implement

The value behind the system.

We lead the business side of system implementations, alongside the vendor and the implementation partner, so the investment pays back. We are partners to several of the largest system vendors in supply chain and procurement, and work on any platform — planning, procurement, retail and ERP. That includes AI and automation: where it creates value, what it should decide on its own, and how people come to trust it.

When to call us

  • You are choosing a new system, or about to implement one
  • Go-live is approaching and the organization is not ready
  • The system is live, but the benefits are not showing

What you get

  • Value objectives and a baseline before go-live
  • New ways of working, clear roles and a change plan in your own change model
  • A readiness assessment before go-live, adoption support after it, and clear boundaries for what automation decides

How we know it worked

People use the system the way it was designed, and the business case shows up in the numbers.

04

Lead

Interim leadership and project management.

Senior people who step in, take responsibility and lead from day one — in a line role, a function that needs new direction, or a project that cannot afford to fail.

When to call us

  • A key role is vacant, or a function needs new direction
  • A critical project or programme needs an experienced leader
  • An integration, a reorganization or a recovery needs someone to hold it together

What you get

  • A leader who has done the job before, in a line role
  • Momentum from the first week, and decisions that stick
  • A clean handover to a permanent team when the time is right

How we know it worked

The function or project is in better shape than we found it, and ready to go on without us.
