The opportunity

Our clients are seeking and hiring a new type of Transformation Design expert – one who can integrate a background in energy with the delivery and success of their programs; someone who can talk both the language of consulting and of engineering.  Our client stakeholders expect a consultant with strong engineering or process industry experience.  Traditional consulting vendors often cannot provide the focused services that our energy clients now demand.

Our insights and capabilities across all portfolio levels in planning, analysis and delivery are integrated into our core offerings, differentiating our services from more traditional program management.
