This structure allows for:
Direct strategic dialogue with ownership and boards
Clear lines of accountability
Disciplined scope definition
Continuity across multiyear initiatives
Controlled expansion of advisory breadth when required
The firm’s operating model favors focus over scale.
Prospective engagements are assessed based on:
Structural complexity and significance
