Our Services
Nuestros servicios de consultoría atienden los problemas y oportunidades más críticos de las empresas.
Strategy
We have worked with our clients in the development of Corporate Strategy, Business Strategy, and Functional Strategy.
We ensure the presence of the following elements:
Strategy is a deliberate search for a plan of action that will develop a business’s competitive advantage and compound it. For any company the search is an iterative process that begins with a recognition of where you are and what you have now.
— Bruce Henderson
Operational effectiveness (OE) means performing similar activities better than rivals perform them. In contrast, strategic positioning means performing different activities from rivals’ or performing similar activities in different ways
— Michael E. Porter
New Business Development
We have helped our clients explore, identify, and seize new business opportunities.
In order to develop a new business, it is imperative to understand and define:
- Business Strategy: The market’s potential, the firm’s value proposition, and the necessary resources

- Deal Structuring: Understanding the value that each partner contributes, valuing businesses and setting relevant milestones to complete each transaction.
- Entry Strategy: Analyzing alternatives to entering a given market alone, in partnership, or via acquisitions, evaluating candidates for acquisition.

Our Experience

Gerardo GuardadoPlanning Manager, Industrial Goods
A major strength is that they give great importance and offer direct assistance for the project and assign a team of people to work on the project full time so they can interact with our team. That is for me very important because the monitoring of the project was at the project level and at a more specialized level for managers.
