Challenge:
A family-owned conglomerate with interests in real estate and retail had a clear growth strategy but struggled to translate it into coordinated execution across subsidiaries. Each business unit ran its own initiatives, and the family board lacked a consolidated view of progress and risks.

Solution:
We helped establish a Group Strategy Execution Office. Together, we translated the strategy into a focused portfolio of initiatives, defined measurable targets, and agreed common templates for business cases and status reporting. We trained initiative owners from each business, introduced strategy review meetings, and set up a simple dashboard highlighting value, timelines, and risk.

Result:
The family board received a structured, comparable view of all strategic initiatives across the group for the first time. Overlapping projects were rationalized, investment decisions became more transparent, and subsidiary management teams had clearer direction and support in delivering their part of the strategy.

Challenge:
A company was running a portfolio of high priority infrastructure projects. Several flagship projects were delayed, contractors were disputing variations, and internal teams were struggling to coordinate engineering, procurement, and onsite execution.

Solution:
We were engaged to perform a rapid diagnostic of the program, reviewing schedules, contracts, governance and reporting. We redesigned the program governance, clarified decision rights, and introduced a realistic integrated master schedule.

Result:
Within months, the client had a credible, agreed recovery plan and a clear view of critical paths and risks. Key milestones were brought back on track, dispute volumes were reduced, and executive discussions shifted from firefighting individual delays to managing the program as a whole.

Challenge:
An insurance and reinsurance broker had grown rapidly through acquisitions. Business continuity arrangements were informal and inconsistent across offices, raising concerns from key international partners.

Solution:
We conducted a gap assessment against regulatory expectations and market best practice, mapped critical processes, and ran impact analyses with senior stakeholders. Based on this, we designed a group-wide Business Continuity Management framework, incident response playbooks, and possible recovery procedures. We also facilitated crisis simulation exercises for the executive team.

Result:
The client gained a clear, tested plan for managing operational disruptions, with defined roles and escalation paths. Queries on continuity were addressed proactively.

Challenge:
A commodities trading firm with trading desks in several regions of the world relied heavily on real-time pricing and logistics systems. Leadership was concerned that cyber threats could halt trading activity, but risk management around cyber was fragmented between IT and operations.

Solution:
We worked with the management to define cyber risk appetite, identify critical assets (trading platforms, messaging systems, terminal access, etc.), and map key threat scenarios. We then developed a cyber risk management strategy aligned with enterprise risk management, introduced a simple, board-level cyber risk dashboard, and suggested certain incident response procedures.

Result:
Cyber risk became a managed, visible category within the firm’s overall risk profile. The board received consistent reporting, cyber controls were prioritized in line with business impact, rather than driven solely by technology considerations.
