has helped businesses around the world respond quickly and
decisively to their most critical challenges – circumstances as
diverse as urgent performance improvement, accelerated
transformation, complex restructuring and risk mitigation.
These are the moments when everything is on the line – a sudden shift
in the market, an unexpected performance decline, a
time-sensitive deal, a fork-in-the-road decision. But it’s not
what they do that makes a difference, it’s how they do it.
Tackling situations when time is of the essence is part of their DNA
– so they adopt an action-oriented approach at all times. They
work in small, highly qualified teams with specific industry and
functional expertise, and they operate at pace, moving quickly
