    Planning Support

    Business travel is undergoing some permanent changes, and we are anticipating and planning for the implications for how business objectives are accomplished in the future.

    We are in constant dialogue with our clients and have rescheduled several projects due to the current health crisis. Some of our assignments are being performed remotely, if appropriate.

    Sustainability

    Sustainability

    Sustainability considerations are becoming increasingly important for the long term development of all businesses.

    There are responsible choices to be made before project investment decisions are made, and also during the lifecycle of a committed project. We believe our involvement should be part of minimizing negative environmental impacts while maximizing business and community benefits.

    Clients may work with us to specifically tailor an audit program to perform a dedicated sustainability audit, which may range from site visits with other specialists, to audit and review of Annual Sustainability Reporting.

    The skills we have, and the tools we use, can be part of the benchmarking and measurement of progress.

    We are part of the intellectual debate too, and participate in discussions and blogs. We joined Future Earth, and the knowledge action network for Finance and Economics.

“Mike is a reservoir of rich IT & Business M&A Transition experience. We worked together as a team to deliver the Stanlow Transition Implementation this year (2011). His ability to see things much ahead in the future because of his extensive years of experience and depth of knowledge helped us prepare for many eventualities. Besides his techno-commercial prowess he is a great team builder and motivator. He has a great sense of humour which he uses very deftly and intelligently to overcome the pitfalls of communication in a multi-cultural team scenario. His sincere efforts with noble intentions to nurture, coach and mentor the youngsters is commendable. I wish him continued success, happiness, joy and prosperity forever. Will be extremely delighted to work with him again in any future engagement.”
