Our intelligence, strategy and influence solutions provide answers to a crucial and recurring question:
What do abuse of power by a foreign government, hostile activism, unfair competition or any other attack on business integrity have in common with an M&A transaction, a public tender or the hiring of a senior manager?
Just one thing: people.
Adversaries, competitors, customers, employees, counterparties, investors, senior officials, regulators and other actors whose decisions can benefit or harm the reputation and wealth of a company and its management team.
Knowing their true motivations, intentions, bonds of trust and fears is an essential objective of intelligence work and the key to success in the face of any challenge.
Our clients appreciate our support throughout the business lifecycle and at any stage of the relationship with their stakeholders, offering bespoke solutions tailored to meet the specific requirements of each circumstance.
