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.
