Clients, like some private entities, communes, cities, or authorities of functional areas, who have complex requirements, need a single, fundamental document, a strategy that will outline the ultimate vision of their development, a road map for reaching the desired objectives.

Well-structured strategies provide the basis for key developments and investment decisions that frequently involve very large financial outlays:  public, private or a combination of both.
A strategy may also be used as an element enhancing credibility, predictability and professionalism of a private or public body e.g. in the eyes of an investor or a business partner. Strategies may vary in terms of their character and thematic wideness. We design general development strategies, thematic strategies of different kinds as the result of which operational planning may be done, as well as other implementations. We also support our clients in building the innovation support system, concepts of clusters, science and technology transfer environment, industrial parks and incubators. The outcome of the strategy and innovation support we provide is a single, underlying document: the one that is driven by the client’s target vision and, at the same time, is multi-dimensional, well consulted, feasible and easy to be implemented. We do so, as we believe that the strategy must strongly tie to the operational planning. If required, we also support strategies with a promotional plan i.e. identification of target groups, analysis of touch points, communiques as well as supportive actions.

Living in constant change requires flexibility in a number of internal processes management. Many businesses continue to manage their brands and internal structures as a number of separated silos. Such approach may lead to the lack of understanding of business goals, mis-communication and, as a result lack of mutual support leading to creation of inefficiencies as well as growing barriers and costs of increased employees’ turnover.

We support organisations in the process of change, including internal structures development, communication procedures alignment and quality communication skills improvement.

We provide:

• Internal structures revision, optimisation and planning
• Internal communication strategy audits/revision, building, monitoring & delivery support
• Employer branding advisory
• Communication & presentation skills trainings

The issue of urban development and the need for land regeneration affect most of the cities. Advisory in this area should not only lead to stimulating the degraded parts of the city, former factories, train stations, retail centres and to giving them “the second life”, but also should improve the broadly understood quality of people’s life in general.

Projects should connect technical, environmental, RE aspects with socio-economic aspects of life, demographic changes and other aspects.

Another important area is attracting new, incoming investments, development of the existing ones and supporting internationalisation.  It is connected with constantly growing global and regional competition between public sector bodies and increasingly demanding business.

How to properly prepare an investment sites to unlock their hidden potential? Is our transportation system ready and effective enough to cover the needs of a city? Are we prepared to organise a huge, globally recognised trade exhibition? What services and funding should be proposed to investors? These are all sample clients’ questions that we can help to answer.

While working on these type of projects we concentrate on both, the public side, and private entities. The scope and scale of projects may differ in times, but in general, we work with hard infrastructure nad RE investments, but also with soft attributes important for investors.

Every organisation, no matter if public or private, to some extent faces dysfunctionalities in its operation. They may occur in a workflow or the ineffective use of resources; in processes and procedures and other issues  related to structures and systems.

Dysfunctionalities influence the ability of an organization to reach its business objectives. The role of consultants is to support the process of re-design, transforming the organisation to be better shaped to act in a competitive environment. Setting up a PMO, creating a step-by-step methodology and allocating advisory resources is a starting point of co-operation.

Our way of work includes: the design of the process phase, the diagnosis of the organisational dysfunctionalities and the final design of the whole organisation (or its part: business or process) architected in such a way as to better serve its goals.

As an outcome, our clients can observe improvements in the following areas:

• Better customer service
• Boost in profitability
• Reduced operating costs e.g. in technology, logistics, asset management etc.
• Better knowledge management
• Better HR i.e. lower rotation, cheaper recruitment

In today’s world cities, regions and corporations are facing the issue of growing needs on the one hand and keeping the environmental impact neutral, on the other. We understand this dilemma and offer our experience drawn from sustainable cities consulting projects. We want to reach out to corporate companies as well.

Nowadays, acceleration to change the world into the one having less negative effect on the environment is a key challenge. Transition to a low-carbon economy, lower consumption, with less resources available is difficult as the needs for growth still remain crucial for a significant portion of population. Sustainable development must create value, regardless of the client type. Proper use of technological changes and social behaviour trends should strengthen this process.

What we try to adopt is an honest, reliable, step-by-step approach to change the way we live. To this end we use our multi-sectoral experience and solutions: beginning with public sector and infrastructure, water/sewage and energy through strategy and investment planning, to operations.

However, we mainly concentrate on specific types of clients:

• Cities and regions – trying to achieve sustainable development goals
• Companies – trying to assess the impact of their actions on environment as well as wanting to prepare communication support for these activities. We assist them in creating a list of initiatives and going through the process of planning and implementation as well as communication of those honest actions that are truly impactful.

Ineffective project management system that does not allow full leveraging of existing potential and resources, poor coordination which decreases the effectiveness of one’s activities, are but a couple of examples of internal barriers that public sector and private entities can face. In practical terms, good governance relates potentially to all aspects of business life, regardless of a sector, a project or a portfolio of projects taken into consideration.

Advisors’ support may result in quick wins, like shorter implementation time, higher security of managed projects, less operational costs etc. Massive investments into roads, railways, ports, water and sewage, hospitals etc. still do not match the level of expectations. In many cases return on investment for private investors is lower than anticipated. It means that consensus on sharing investments and risks, as well as profits between public and private bodies is highly appreciated. This can also relate to knowledge sharing, data and information access, and in general, sharing the responsibility for the changing world.  There are still huge investments done without financial sharing between the public and the private sector, and with no operational links between these two sides while working on the projects.

We diagnose the issue, identify respective goals, assess the existing resources and prepare project management plan. Practically, there is no analysis without a risk and mitigation plan, a list of KPIs and a monitoring system to evaluate the outcome.
