Ten practices. One accountable firm.
From writing a technically defensible specification to clearing the cargo it produced. From designing a results framework to independently verifying what it reported.
Expertise
Engage a single practice, or the chain that runs through several.
Each practice is a complete capability in its own right, with its own specialists and its own standards. Most substantial engagements draw on three or four of them, and one partner remains accountable for the whole of it.
Procurement & Sourcing
From specification to award to arrival, run to a standard that survives audit.
We write the specification, run the tender, screen the supplier and inspect the goods before they load. Where an institution wants the capability rather than the service, we rebuild the manuals, thresholds and delegations instead.
Supply Chain Management
Designing the network, then keeping stock where it needs to be.
We quantify demand into figures a funder will accept, site warehouses against real corridor behaviour, and build the pipeline visibility that turns a stock-out into a decision taken weeks earlier.
Logistics, Freight & Maritime
Moving cargo, including the cargo that will not fit in a container.
Sea, air and multimodal freight, customs clearance and duty exemption, port agency and stevedoring, and the movements that need engineering before they need a booking: heavy lift, break bulk and project cargo.
Research, Evidence & Evaluation
Independent evidence, generated where the programme actually operates.
MEAL system design, statistically powered surveys and evaluations against OECD-DAC criteria. Third-party monitoring and independent verification run on separate staffing, because the value of that work is entirely its independence.
Strategy, Governance & Institutional Advisory
Strategy that reaches the operating model, the budget and the organisation chart.
Capacity diagnostics, public financial management, governance reform and programme design, followed through into the budget lines, delegations and internal controls that decide whether a strategy can actually be executed.
Financial & Transaction Advisory
The numbers behind a decision, built to be interrogated.
Feasibility studies, financial models, value-for-money analysis and due diligence, built with the sensitivities and documentation that let a conclusion survive an audit or an investment committee.
Environment, Safety & Compliance
Consent, safety and certification treated as engineering rather than paperwork.
Impact assessment and the management plans that follow from it, climate and carbon exposure, and the health and safety, ISO, safeguarding and data protection systems that make a stated commitment verifiable.
ICT & Digital
Systems that carry procurement, data and decisions.
Enterprise architecture, ERP and procurement platform implementation, digital data collection built with validation at the point of entry, and the analytics layer that turns what was collected into something a manager can act on.
Human Capital
Finding the people, then building the capability to replace us.
Executive search for the scarce technical roles, the organisational design and grading that make those roles retainable, and the training, Training-of-Trainers and certification programmes that leave the capability behind.
Legal & Regulatory
The contracts, structures and permissions the work depends on.
Contract drafting and negotiation written against the corridor, the border and the inspection regime the agreement will actually meet, plus corporate structuring and licensing, and support once a dispute is already live.
Not sure which practice you need?
Describe the outcome and the constraint. We will tell you which of these it actually is, and if it is more than one, who leads.
