Strategy

A combination of intensified globalization brought on by recent turbulence in the global economy and the acceleration of new information technologies is driving companies and governments to look for new business models to meet increased demands for efficiency, competitiveness, short-term agility and long-term growth.

Good strategy drives the profitability, sustainability and the very existence of any organization, making it essential to the success of any business. As Strategy Consultants, we work closely with our clients to develop tailor-made strategies to help them achieve leadership status in their industries.

Marketing and Market Entry Strategies

The forces of globalization and economic volatility are transforming the dynamics of customer interaction, presenting even the most successful organizations with new challenges and opportunities.
Globalization is spurring competition and transforming market economics. New sources of competition—from virtually every part of the world—are eroding already weakened bonds of customer loyalty.
Rapid commoditization and extreme price pressure are undermining traditional sources of differentiation. Changing consumer values—in addition to entirely new consumer segments emerging in the world’s developing economies—present new sources of growth, along with new challenges to delivering satisfying, profitable customer experiences.
We are also the preferred consultants for many clients entering the Middle Eastern markets, with new products, brands or services. Our deep-rooted presence in the Middle East along with strong market knowledge and connections make us an ideal partner for new market entry strategies and business plan formation and evaluations.
