Platforms & Partnerships

Our Platforms & Partnerships team takes a strategic approach to the application of technology to solve our clients’ most pressing issues and accelerate how we turn our bias to action into bottom-line results.

Led by experienced technology industry leaders, our team drives innovation in the firm, working together with our consultants to augment our core skills, solutions, and services.

Their focus is underpinned by our characteristic pragmatism, and applying a 'best of need' approach to determine whether we buy an existing technology, build a bespoke platform, or partner with leading technology providers.

Our Technology Philosophy

Our core value to clients is our deep industry knowledge combined with our experience as operators. We are results-focused and take pride in our track record of working side-by-side with business leaders to preserve, reinforce, or enhance the value of their organizations.

Technology, digital capabilities, data, and AI are critical in the delivery of our work. We use these tools to enhance our core consultancy skills, test hypotheses and scenarios, accelerate our analysis, and, ultimately, get our clients to the right outcome quicker.

Our Partnerships

Building long-standing relationships with leading tech providers is critical. Their pace of innovation, ability to scale quickly, and pivot as the technology landscape shifts are second to none.
Combining their strengths with our deep functional expertise, industry knowledge, and commitment to bottom-line results makes for powerful partnerships.

We build these relationships at all levels of our firm. In some cases, they are highly tactical and focused on specific areas of impact. In others, they are strategic, multi-level alignments based on shared outcomes, mutual values, and a commitment to deliver meaningful value to clients.
