How to win in Strategy
The goal of strategy is to make optimal choices that best leverage your resources and capabilities, to create lasting value, and gain an advantage relative to the competition. Strategy involves an interconnected, non-linear, symbiotic process built on a firm understanding of: your current position and your available choices, and finally proceeds to steer your journey to your target destination.
Luxury - A Complex Sector
The luxury and high-end sector is highly complex and multi-dimensional; comprised of businesses pursuing the highest standards in quality, craftsmanship, exclusivity and distinctiveness. Incumbents customarily seek to deploy the most highly composite competitive strategies, often discounting the confinements of cost factors, to explore the boundless range of unique dimensions available under a given business model.
The 'TEN LEVERS of Luxury' Framework
We have developed the TEN LEVERS of Luxury framework, underpinned by our innovatory AI-powered strategy tool. The model is built on the ten specificities that characterise luxury goods and services, and translate synchronously into strategic 'levers' that define and strengthen competitive advantage. It provides the basis for our objective assessment and scoring mechanism, which identifies strengths and weaknesses, and highlights areas for improvement, to help position businesses for tangible and sustainable competitive advantage.

Reset and Reconfigure
In today’s highly competitive environment, successful businesses across every industry proactively seek to deliver their products and services in a way that outperforms others. In the luxury sector, this translates to a heightened demand for excellence in quality, innovation, artistry, and craftsmanship; in an increasingly complex and disruptive business climate.
A Great Awakening
For decades, large swathes of the luxury industry have resisted change and modernisation; in part, a tactical mechanism to preserve heritage and craftsmanship where relevant; and in part, a determined effort to avert commoditisation. Today however, many incumbents are awakening to a bilateral approach, which embraces modern advancements in some areas, whilst retaining the fundamental and irreplaceable aspects of their tradition and legacy. This presents new possibilities for competitive advantage. and immense potential for sustainable value.

We help you with your finances - how to lower your costs, generate higher profits, and use your money optimally.
Financing not for Frills
Finance considerations are some of the most important concerns for businesses. Yet surprisingly, the decisions around reporting, budgeting/investment, capital structure/financing, and working capital management, are often routinely ill-managed. The impacts of financial mismanagement are significantly amplified in high-end premium and luxury businesses which are typified by higher costs and higher margins.
Prudence vs Opulence
Businesses exist primarily to create value by making optimal financial decisions - whatever industry they are in - through investing in ‘projects’ or ‘products’ where the benefits outweigh the costs. Most business decisions however, relate to complex, future uncertainties. Hence, astute business leaders must seek to acquire the expert tools and knowledge for sound assessments to foster informed judgements and astute financial decisions.
