Precision in Planning, Perfection in Execution. Our construction management practice is grounded in disciplined planning, data‑driven analysis, and cross‑functional coordination. The scheduling team applies deep expertise in procurement, trade sequencing, resource management, and systems integration to develop schedules that accurately represent project realities. Each schedule incorporates realistic crew productivity rates, labor availability, procurement lead times, regulatory requirements, utility coordination needs, and identifiable risks that may influence progress or continuity of work. We employ deterministic, probabilistic, and constraint‑based scheduling methodologies supported by advanced analytical tools. This integrated approach ensures that schedules demonstrate feasibility, constructability, and achievable timelines across all phases of project execution.

Effective schedule control depends on rigorous progress measurement. Throughout the construction lifecycle, we conduct structured assessments using field quantities, earned labor hours, and production‑rate tracking. These metrics enable the calculation of schedule performance indices, earned value, and deviations from the established baseline. We evaluate float erosion, critical path shifts, resource capacity constraints, and logic integrity to identify emerging risks early and support timely corrective action. When delays occur, we perform comprehensive schedule delay analyses—including Time Impact Analyses (TIA), impacted‑as‑planned evaluations, and contemporaneous critical path reviews—to objectively determine causation, responsibility, and the associated cost and schedule implications. These insights inform targeted mitigation and recovery strategies, including resource leveling, acceleration scenarios, and optimized resequencing.

We leverage industry‑standard platforms such as Oracle Primavera P6 for CPM development, Acumen Fuse for schedule quality assessment, and InEight for cost‑ and resource‑loaded planning. Our team also supports 4D BIM simulations using Synchro or Navisworks to enable spatial sequencing, clash‑driven optimization, and field‑ready visualization of construction workflows.

Combining economic and social development experience with our financial modeling expertise to develop cities and infrastructure. Supporting organizations looking to enter a partnership with another institution by helping clients assess the potential, design the structure, and ensure the long-term success of the new venture.

Strengthening Public Sector Planning and Execution. Investing in infrastructure is a critical tool to create jobs, drive economic recovery, and position our economies for sustainable growth. Advanced and emerging nations alike face major, albeit different, obstacles to stable and inclusive economic growth. Advanced economies strive for human-capital development, sustainable growth, and productivity improvement in the public sector. Developing economies must balance the benefits of economic progress against societal and individual costs. Much progress has been made in the past century in raising individuals and societies out of poverty. Continuing this progress will require a significant and sustained global focus on economic development. And unlocking economic growth will require smart strategies for overcoming growth obstacles such as natural disasters and the effects of climate change. We help governments and public-sector organizations design and implement large-scale strategies that promote economic development and inclusive growth. We are at the forefront of working with organizations to digitize their risk functions, helping them transform risk management to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness while enhancing the quality and speed of decision making. This strengthens not only risk management but also overall financial management, through better data governance and architecture, and improved processes and analytics. 

We work with organizations to plan and develop cities that support growth, without compromising environmental or social sustainability. We aim to resolve the critical issues faced when planning, financing, developing, constructing, and operating infrastructure projects to reduce cost and accelerate and optimize projects.

Collaborating with City Government. Economic opportunity is deeply rooted in neighborhood conditions. Where people reside has lasting impacts on how they live, from life earnings to life expectancy. Yet even with broad economic growth, many neighborhoods continue to struggle with concentrated poverty, disinvestment, unemployment and other challenges. Cities are essential to global economic growth and productivity. They are where most of the world’s population lives, works, and plays, and they are important to everyone. We work with organizations to plan and develop cities that support growth, without compromising environmental or social sustainability. We aim to resolve the critical issues faced when planning, financing, developing, constructing, and operating infrastructure projects to reduce cost and accelerate and optimize projects. We work with city leaders on protecting and improving the environment for city dwellers, workers, and visitors while pursuing economic growth and social progress.

We help city leaders to tackle sustainability challenges, improve the quality of life in cities, and pursue smart growth by integrating environmental thinking into everything they do. As trusted partners of city governments throughout the world, we help shape strategy, enable change, and support delivery in sustainable city initiatives. Sustainability is a part of every aspect of our work with city leaders, both in setting priorities and in delivering transformational impact on the ground. To support governments, the private sector, citizens and other stakeholders, we draw on the global resources of our firm, including capital productivity, economic development, technology design and delivery, and performance management expertise.

We help our clients develop capabilities to build a strong foundation for performance excellence. We bring an “investor mind-set” to public-sector policies and support private investments needed to enable commercial opportunities that will create jobs and accelerate growth.

Unlocking the Benefits of Transit-Oriented Development. We create people-centered urban environments by integrating public spaces, vertical development, and complex infrastructure across every scale—from citywide systems to individual districts. Our work spans transit-oriented development, multimodal hubs, and revitalized urban centers anchored by sports, entertainment, retail, and education. Partnering with transit agencies, municipalities, and private organizations, we craft master plans and policy frameworks that drive regional growth, improve mobility, and translate community goals into actionable strategies. Our team applies a structured due‑diligence framework that quantifies technical, financial, regulatory, and schedule risks across the project lifecycle.

We advance smart, sustainable infrastructure by combining engineering innovation with data-driven planning, scheduling, and construction management. Our solutions—from intelligent traffic systems and smart grids to predictive maintenance and digital public safety—enhance connectivity, efficiency, and long-term resilience. Through public-private partnerships and deep expertise in transit infrastructure, we help municipalities accelerate essential projects, attract investment, and deliver high-performing, future-ready systems. Our multidisciplinary teams provide full-lifecycle support, including transit consulting, project controls, risk management, and quality assurance, ensuring that every investment maximizes public benefit and strengthens the foundations of thriving, adaptable communities.

We help national governments and development partners in emerging economies develop their agriculture sectors, and we work with donor agencies and foundations that support rural agriculture. We help consumer-packaged-goods and processing companies improve performance within their raw-agricultural-materials procurement and risk-management functions.

Economic Development Strategies for Rural Communities. We combine leading-edge investor insights honed by our private equity experts with agriculture-market insights and proprietary tools to help clients with their range of needs. We support all types of investors across the full investment cycle, including private equity funds, pension funds, venture capital funds, and sovereign wealth funds, on many topics including thesis development, due diligence, and operational improvement. We apply our expertise in agribusiness, supply-chain management, infrastructure, and large-scale transformations to create models for sustainable agricultural development that attract private, public, and social investment and can be scaled and delivered effectively. These models include regional “breadbaskets,” infrastructure and logistics corridors, and dedicated agricultural economic zones.

Building and sustaining resilience is more important than ever in an industry strongly linked to annual cycles, external factors like weather and volatility in commodity prices, and the uncertainty in today’s geopolitical and macroeconomic environment. Our approach combines proprietary tools and techniques with unmatched industry and functional knowledge to promote sustainable change. We work closely with governments, foundations, and businesses to design programs that transform the way agricultural systems operate. In addition to our work on strategy, design, and implementation, we help set up and accelerate public/private partnerships, support individual value-chain projects, and tackle questions on organizational and strategic topics for corporations and foundations.

Building, deploying, and accelerating ventures to scale and improve education and employment outcomes to deliver capabilities that enable our clients to repeat the process time and again, bringing together the world’s top educators, designers, constructors, and other experts across all sectors and geographies.

We Design to Create a Resilient Legacy. We work to improve educational and employment outcomes, helping create prosperous societies that provide equal opportunities. We help school systems to bring about rapid improvements in literacy and numeracy outcomes at the classroom level through our work across diagnostics, strategy, and implementation. We work with public and social institutions to apply innovative digital tools to revolutionize teaching and learning both inside and outside the classroom. We collaborate with employers, education providers, and governments to help students make a seamless transition from education to work. Our teams include former teachers, institutional leaders, researchers, and public policy makers. We engage with a wide variety of academic, cultural, and educational institutions, as well as other philanthropic foundations. We prioritize collaboration and value diversity, creating a culture that fosters inclusiveness, teamwork and an entrepreneurial mindset in the pursuit of professional excellence.

We support owners planning construction projects by developing business cases aligned with their long-term strategic objectives, by ensuring rapid and effective decision making through our proprietary Construction Management System, and by performing key analyses to monitor the progress, economics, and risk associated with the project. During the construction phase, we take a hands-on approach to help select and manage contractors, optimize procurement strategies, and monitor the overall execution of the project. All the while, we ensure the client’s objective—delivering this project on time and within budget—remains the top priority.

By embracing ownership in both design and construction, we become stronger partners in delivering the outcomes our clients seek. We help deliver projects through a disciplined execution rhythm to accelerate schedules, improve safety, maintain quality, and reduce costs.

Preservation of Buildings of Architectural and Historical Significance. We support the preservation and adaptive reuse of architecturally and historically significant buildings through a structured, evidence‑based approach. The team integrates project‑development capability, financing expertise, stakeholder coordination, and proprietary analytical tools to establish viable and bankable projects for public- and private‑sector clients. This includes governments, private developers, and institutional investors. Our project‑development work focuses on reducing the gap between infrastructure needs and available capital. We convene the required decision‑makers, define project parameters, and structure delivery pathways that meet investor requirements for risk, return, and long‑term asset performance. All recommendations are grounded in verifiable data, regulatory constraints, and lifecycle cost considerations.

We apply architectural, engineering, and construction expertise to help clients design buildings and public spaces that meet functional, operational, and regulatory objectives. The team evaluates design options against capital budgets, operating expenditures, and long‑term stewardship requirements. To ensure asset relevance over extended lifecycles, we advise on material selection, expansion strategies, accessibility compliance, and sustainability measures. We also support clients in managing facility operations to control lifecycle costs while maintaining required performance standards. Project delivery is executed through a disciplined management rhythm designed to maintain schedule integrity, improve safety performance, uphold quality requirements, and reduce cost variability. We establish clear roles and responsibilities across all stakeholders and verify alignment at defined decision points. The team provides advisory support on risk identification, regulatory compliance, and mitigation planning.

We balance technical and commercial design considerations to enable project leaders to make informed trade‑offs. Our methodologies include design‑to‑cost and design‑to‑market frameworks, engineering trade‑off analyses, and construction cost benchmarking. We optimize procurement outcomes by consolidating categories, aligning supplier incentives, and conducting targeted capability training for subcontractors. Schedule performance is managed using Critical Path Method, Earned Value Management, and other quantitative tools to track progress, identify deviations, and implement corrective actions. Throughout the asset lifecycle, we evaluate both short‑ and long‑term cost implications to minimize maintenance burdens and ensure sustained operational performance.

Our commitment to fighting world hunger, poverty, and malnutrition can be seen in our support for governments, organizations, and civil society tackling complex challenges. We have proven experience in managing complex donor-funded programs and projects for multilateral development banks and bilateral donors.

Humanitarianism, Philanthropy, and Humanitarian Diplomacy. Our commitment to ending hunger, poverty, and malnutrition is more than a mission—it is a promise to humanity. This promise comes to life through our support for governments, organizations, and communities working tirelessly to confront the world’s most complex challenges. With deep experience managing donor‑funded programs for multilateral development banks and bilateral partners, we stand ready to turn compassion into measurable impact. Each of us carries a responsibility to help shape a world worthy of the next generation. We have been privileged to inherit a philanthropic tradition rooted in solidarity, social responsibility, and the pursuit of knowledge. Now it is our turn to honor that legacy. By nurturing emerging talent and championing bold, innovative solutions, the Burk Family Foundation strives each day to transform vision into lasting progress—across science, the environment, the arts, education, and social entrepreneurship. The initiatives we support reflect our belief in the power of generosity and our unwavering pursuit of excellence.

We partner with leading development agencies, governments, and private donors to strengthen their operations, sharpen their strategies, and bring transformative projects to life. Drawing on expertise across economic development, public health, environmental sustainability, infrastructure, education, and equity, we help philanthropic organizations rise to meet society’s greatest challenges. Together, we are building a future defined not by the obstacles we face, but by the hope, ingenuity, and shared humanity that guide us forward.

A Luxury Rooted In Tradition

Vibrant, Inspiring, and Cosmopolitan. Driven by competition and consolidation, large, retail enterprises operate across countries, channels, categories, and formats. As the role of the brick-and-mortar store evolves, retailers will continually have to refine how they use their infrastructure. Over the course of the next decade, the face of the consumer industry will change dramatically. Retailers need more than a good deal to make a sale and keep loyal customers coming back. We pair extensive real estate and functional expertise with deep tenant knowledge across sectors to help organizations reimagine the role they play in space acquisition, development, and use. Our approach to construction provides us an opportunity to control costs and accelerate schedules before shovels hit the ground.

We craft a tailored package of talent, resources and processes — under the right delivery method — to deliver a solution that’s a perfect fit for your specific needs. We believe in a fully-integrated design-build approach that combines design, engineering, construction, and business strategy as the core of any group. These functions should work together to make decisions, ensure that the designed journey aligns with the business strategy and delivers value, and keep the client experience at the forefront. We systematically apply design-to-engineering and design-to-market principles. Our clients range from medium-size companies to industry leaders—spanning across producers and brands, vertical fashion retailers, apparel multi-brand retailers, department stores, and luxury-goods companies.

Our experienced team partners with institutions large and small, including historical societies, libraries, universities and art museums—both encyclopedic and niche in scope. We help individuals, philanthropists, businesses, social entrepreneurs and investors to drive change by becoming more strategic and effective.

Celebrating Cultural Expression Through the Arts. A community’s history is the heartbeat of its identity. By safeguarding the places, stories, and artistic expressions that define a region, we preserve the character that makes each community truly its own. Historic preservation is not simply the act of restoring old buildings—it is a commitment to honoring cultural memory, strengthening local pride, and supporting a vibrant, livable future. Beyond its emotional value, preservation generates economic vitality, nurtures cultural continuity, enriches educational experiences, and strengthens environmental stewardship. These dimensions are intertwined, each contributing to the living legacy of the communities we serve. With an unparalleled, end-to-end perspective on risk management—powered by advanced digital delivery, market-leading data methodologies, and deep operational expertise—we help our clients navigate complexity with clarity and confidence. Our experience spans multiple industries and is supported by cutting-edge financial and regulatory technologies. Together, these capabilities make us a trusted, forward-thinking partner dedicated to helping organizations grow, innovate, and thrive.

We embrace and enable cultural connections, spanning the visual and performing arts, music, literature, theatre and film, play a crucial role in making a more creative, equitable, and empathetic society.

Digital Engagement in Culture, Heritage and the Performing Arts. At the heart of our mission is a powerful belief: that creativity—guided by dedication and discipline—can awaken the spirit of a community and set lasting change in motion. The Burk Family Foundation stands as a steadfast champion for neighborhoods in transition, investing in cultural institutions that help communities reclaim their identity, their pride, and their future. Our performing arts initiatives open pathways for young people to discover their own voices. Each instrument placed in their hands, each stage that welcomes their talent, becomes a spark—igniting confidence, imagination, and possibility. Creativity becomes more than expression; it becomes a lifeline, a tool that strengthens communities from within and fuels economic renewal.

By uplifting emerging artists, musicians, and cultural organizations, we help cities grow richer not just in art, but in connection. These creative forces bring people together, heal divides, and remind neighborhoods of their inherent worth. When art enters the workplace, it inspires teams to think boldly, to collaborate deeply, and to lead with vision—qualities that strengthen both organizations and the communities they serve. And in our work with clients, we bring this same community‑first spirit to the world of data, risk, and financial management. We help organizations harness information with clarity and purpose, building systems, governance, and technology that support not only business goals, but the people and communities behind them. Together, we strive to create neighborhoods where creativity is nurtured, opportunity is shared, and progress is felt—block by block, family by family, generation by generation.

Organizations face growing threats due to non-financial risks—from compliance and misconduct to technology failures and operational errors. We provide enterprise-wide tactical solutions to manage these risks. Our unique end-to-end approach combines robust data management, innovative technology solutions, advanced analytics, and a deep understanding of broad architecture disciplines.

Asset Management and Private Sector Participation. Many activities are influenced by various types of pressure. Some are external, such as compliance or regulatory changes, for example. Sometimes, unfortunate events in one’s own company or in the industry prompt internal soul searching regarding whether existing risk-management approaches are adequate. In more and more cases, however, business leaders take a more proactive stance, as their goal is to further develop risk-management capabilities (proactively based on their strategic and economic priorities and growing aspiration levels) into a competitive advantage—ultimately improving business decisions and increasing the value of the company in a risk-conscious way. We apply deep technical expertise, extensive industry insights, and innovative analytical approaches to help organizations go beyond just managing risk to enhancing their resilience, creating value, and building risk skills and assets. We have completed more than seven-hundred schedule and risk-management projects for clients for industries as diverse as energy and materials, pharmaceutical, automotive and assembly, and public-sector entities. We combine our expertise in risk with deep experience and understanding of our clients’ business context, developed through decades of experience counseling our clients. This allows us to integrate our risk programs with our clients’ overall strategy.

We approach procurement and contracts as the basis for the relationship between parties, and therefore as a valuable management tool to influence behavior and align incentives throughout project execution. We help our clients design contracts that support project success by establishing terms that inform and direct the project execution, rather than narrowly focusing on purely legal requirements. We also advise clients on settling claims and help them find opportunities to retain value during contract closeout. Well-structured claim and counter-claim strategies have helped our clients achieve average claim settlement rates significantly below the original claimed value. Our focus on protecting clients’ assets is reflected in our business model, our process and our people.

We help clients manage project risk by engaging effectively with governments, regulators, and other external stakeholders. We support both financial and nonfinancial institutions in solving the most complex analytical problems across all nonfinancial risk types.

Deep Understanding of the Value at Risk. New regulation can put value at risk, but it also creates new opportunities (such as stimulus packages) and unlocks new growth levers. A rigorous, quantified assessment of the value at stake from these risks and opportunities—over both the short and the long term—is critical to prioritize an organization's outreach efforts. We help our clients quickly anticipate, identify, and understand the key regulatory issues that may affect their industries, leveraging an in-depth understanding of industry risk, as well as unique insights into the levers that governments and regulators might consider implementing in their sectors. We have an unparalleled end-to-end view of risk management processes, combined with a proven digital delivery capability and market-leading expertise and methodologies in data management and analytics. These capabilities, along with deep operational expertise across a range of sectors, leading-edge technology experience, and a finger on the pulse of emerging innovations in financial technology and regulatory technology, make us an invaluable partner for our clients.

Successful mega-projects are rooted and guided by a strong business case. Unfortunately, in our experience, design and construction issues can quickly hijack projects. We help clients get projects that are running behind schedule and over-budget back on track.

Driving Value from Operational Risk Management. Companies should choose what types and levels of risk to take and what to avoid and mitigate (“risk ownership”). We help clients gauge their strategic, financial, and operational circumstances (“risk bearing capacity”) in order to ensure that their risk choices are aligned with their strategy and with their financial and operational risk-taking capabilities (“risk strategy and risk appetite”), so that they can optimize the risk-return trade-off. We take a global, cross-sector, functional view of risk management issues, combining our deep industry insight and strategic skills with a structured enterprise-management approach, proven methodologies focused on true transformation, analytical tools, and practical implementation. We partner with businesses, communities, nonprofit organizations, and government leaders to achieve high life-cycle returns for their capital projects, in less time and with greater predictability, by moving from traditional activity-focused schedule management to a project management approach for end-to-end delivery strategy. We emphasize growth and sustainable returns for long-term performance.

Our independent perspective is grounded in the trends, disruptions, and dynamics affecting our clients’ industries. We conduct thorough evaluations of the operational changes required to realize value. By utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methodologies—including data analysis, benchmarking, interviews, field observations, and expert reviews—we accurately assess project status and identify areas for improvement. These insights are integrated into ongoing risk-management processes to help clients develop sustainable capabilities.

Our project-restructuring team works with companies facing significant financial and operational challenges, including rapidly deteriorating performance trends, excessive leverage, liquidity concerns, loss of key management, and refinancing risk.

Guiding Projects from Crisis to Success. Our distressed project turnaround service is designed to integrate with a project owner’s team when a project is at risk or is already facing challenges. Our teams have helped business and government leaders manage many serious crises. We are uniquely placed to help clients foresee the impact of their crisis-response decisions, which allows us to help senior leaders make better, faster decisions. We provide the experience, and integrated point of view required to be true counselors to business and government leaders. We apply deep technical expertise, extensive industry insights, and innovative analytical approaches to help organizations go beyond just managing risk to enhancing their resilience, creating value, and building risk skills and assets. We combine our expertise in risk with deep experience and understanding of our clients’ business context, developed through decades of experience counseling our clients. Our support includes design and implementation of business capabilities and processes—ranging from claims to rebuild performance and stakeholder trust.

Our specialists integrate seamlessly with your team, bringing decades of experience in rescuing distressed projects. We rapidly diagnose root causes, stabilize adverse situations, and implement solutions that restore confidence and control. We conduct a rigorous review of project documentation, stakeholder interests, and regulatory requirements. Our recovery plans are designed to realign all parties, mitigate risks, and accelerate progress. Our team is equipped to act as both advisors and interim managers, ensuring unbiased, best-in-class solutions. We facilitate transparent communication and collaboration among owners, contractors, and key stakeholders. By rebuilding trust and focusing on common goals, we help resolve deteriorated relationships and drive collective action.

Supported by experts in technology development, fuel markets, and clean tech, our consulting teams work closely with clients to develop and interpret scenarios, benchmark performance against industry peers, and strengthen internal capabilities for managing market uncertainty. We bring deep expertise in simulating the evolution of power markets and assessing the implications for long-term portfolio planning, asset valuation, and investment. We help generators, energy companies, end users, investors, and regulators to understand shifts in the fuel mix and wholesale market structures and capture opportunities while mitigating risks.

Our approach to due diligence is flexible and analytics-driven, incorporating extensive proprietary knowledge and deep industry experience. We have developed extensive knowledge and expertise that enable us to conduct due diligence and portfolio work that delivers substantial financial impact.

Aligning Strategies with the Priorities of Stakeholders. Change in business is constant. Regulatory environments, globalization, industry boundaries, and cost pressures are all in perpetual motion, and idleness is never an option. The complexity of managing acquisitions and divestitures, though, can be challenging for even the most experienced corporate leaders. Our work with clients in pre-diligence investment screening is varied and tailored to their specific needs. We help identify and qualify investment opportunities by leveraging a systematic process to screen and reveal potential targets and provide proactive, investable insights and ideas. Our approach to due diligence is flexible and analytics-driven, incorporating extensive proprietary knowledge and deep industry experience. Our flexible model allows for a wide range of potential configurations, from targeted analysis to fully-integrated due diligence. We support all types of investors across the full investment cycle, including private equity funds, pension funds, venture capital funds, and sovereign wealth funds, on many topics including development, due diligence, and operational improvement.

We help clients develop risk-management capabilities to support their strategic priorities, so they can protect the value of the company while growing the business profitably. Our strategic investing approach is driven by independent thinking and guided by thoughtful research.

Developing Durable Funding and Financing Approaches. We help institutional investors—particularly large public pension plans, sovereign-wealth funds, and endowments—better understand the risk and return potential of their portfolios. We help clients analyze risk factors, model asset and liability matching, and enhance their asset-allocation methodologies. We also help them disaggregate the sources of investment performance and costs to get a fuller view of their risk-adjusted returns. Increasingly, we help institutional investors use insights from big data and machine learning to stay at the cutting edge of their disciplines. We believe that relationships matter; and our partnership approach allows us to engage and collaborate with management teams to align on a collective long-term vision and goals. We operate with integrity, honesty, mutual respect, and an analytical, truth-seeking mindset in all our interactions.

We help investors to finance projects, businesses, and infrastructure in a way that supports sustainability goals, drawing on our unique ability to combine investment expertise with deep insight into environmental and social issues. We advise clients on crafting investment strategies to meet national or corporate carbon-abatement targets, identifying attractive investment opportunities and developing appropriate financing mechanisms, and analyzing risk exposure across a portfolio of investments. To support our client work, we undertake research and develop cutting-edge tools to measure and manage sustainability performance.

We have a deep and longstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion in business, society, and within our firm. We believe that bold problem-solving and lasting performance improvements stem from bringing together individuals with diverse experiences and perspectives.

Trusted Advice for Effective Leadership. We focus on cultivating and sustaining a diverse work environment and workforce, which is critical to meeting the needs of our clients and communities. At every step of our employees’ careers we invest in them, and ensure their interests remain focused on the long term and closely aligned with those of our clients and shareholders.

We publish our findings extensively, and we engage with leading thinkers on the most pressing issues facing our clients and society.

Strategy is the integrated set of actions an organization takes to create competitive advantage. It is a complex journey of large and small decisions made in a rapidly evolving external business environment that must take into account a company’s operating rhythm and leadership dynamics.

Regulatory Advice, Compliance and Crisis Management. Creating strategy in today’s environment of complexity, ever-changing priorities, and conflicting agendas is a daunting task. Yet when senior executives invest the time and effort to develop a more thorough, thoughtful approach to strategy, they not only increase the odds of building a winning business but also enjoy a positive spin-off: the gifts of simplicity and focus, as well as the conviction to get things done. Regulatory environments, globalization, industry boundaries, and cost pressures are all in perpetual motion, and idleness is never an option. The complexity of managing acquisitions and divestitures, though, can be challenging for even the most experienced corporate leaders. Our approach to transformational change is holistic and focused on execution. We address all the factors that create value for an organization, including top line, bottom line, capital expenditures, and working capital. The results we achieve are exceptional across industries and geographies. Our clients regularly see dramatic increases in the value of their businesses and improvements in other key metrics of success.

Few events unleash as much opportunity to create value as a well-conceived—and well-executed—transaction. Our work is driven by the collaboration of partners, advisors, and specialists with a deep understanding of private equity and the intricacies of the investment lifecycle.

Making Infrastructure Investment More Attractive to Private Capital. Facing extreme volatility in financial and commodity markets, more and more of our clients are realizing that effective, risk-informed strategy can offer a major source of competitive advantage. Companies face a multitude of challenges when designing strategies. Senior executives, in particular, have pointed to the need to better manage uncertainty in strategy development through flexible and adaptive strategic management practices. This requires on-going dialogue, and the ability to execute a strategic plan. From strategy and capital planning all the way through the final steps of integration execution, we help clients identify the best path to shareholder value. Our integrations solution solves these problems by acting as the central location for integration planning, decision tracking, and monitoring value capture.

We serve both private and public entities on financing, origination, development, operations, and shareholder management.

We accompany our clients through all the fund raising process, from the preparation of the presentation documents and the review of the business plan to contacts with investors and throughout negotiations. To ensure the long-term health of the portfolio, we measure opportunities against investor capabilities, risk appetite, and existing portfolio contents. We support clients in assessing possible partners and developing market-entry strategies. By applying a systematic approach, we help assess the full range of private and public options for funding infrastructure assets. Our proprietary models enable us to identify risk, advise on pricing, and assess risk mitigation approaches and their implications on financing strategy. We also help clients directly link their corporate and business unit strategies to their various financing strategies.

Managing Multiple Funding Sources on Public Projects. We collaborate with owners and investors to pair capital with commercially viable infrastructure projects. Our team provides a unique combination of project development and financing expertise, relationships with key shareholders, and proprietary tools that enable us to serve as trusted partners to governments, private developers, and investors. Our project-development work focuses on helping bridge the current gap between infrastructure investment and needs by convening the right parties and collaborating to establish viable, infrastructure projects in which investors can be confident. We help project owners identify the optimal strategy to raise financing for their project by drawing on our knowledge of the range of available tools and instruments, in-depth expertise on the assets under development, and insights into the project owner’s needs.

We provide a wide range of support throughout the project-development phase. Our activities during this period include performing due diligence, developing and managing the business plan, establishing a project-management-office function to support the development and management of third-party contractors, and conducting risk assessments. We evaluate five dimensions of a project—technical issues, execution requirements, market factors, political and regulatory concerns, and organizational capabilities—against five readiness criteria—degree of project definition, degree of project optimization, quality of risk assessment, maturity of planning, and adequacy of resources—to ensure readiness for funding the next stage of development. We embed these insights and techniques into ongoing investment and risk-management processes to help clients build lasting capabilities.
