Brandoos ingredients
We help our clients grow their business, brands and people by delivering fact based and actionable strategies and recommendations. As you may work with consulting firms this probably sounds familiar. However, we believe that there are certain Brandoos ingredients that make us a fairly unique consulting boutique and allow us to make a difference:
An art & science approach
We follow a thorough insights and hypotheses driven consulting approach that is commonly applied by leading consulting firms. However, it’s our belief that a strong solution is always a combination of art and science that is informed by our consulting experience and your industry knowledge. To uncover new business opportunities or tackle your challenges we adapt processes and techniques to fit your internal reality.
We think ahead
There are key aspects we always keep in mind on the project journey to ensure actionability and impact: Make sure we link the goal of the initiative to the overarching business priorities. Align the project with other important initiatives in the organization. Consider internal dynamics to gain required buy-in. Understand strategic and tactical implications the project has on your organization to ensure feasibility.
We work with you
We strongly believe that a collaborative approach is a key ingredient for a strong outcome. That’s why we prefer to work with and not for clients. This means two things: we leverage your internal knowledge and experiences as much as we can and are accessible allies on our development journey of a strategy or recommendation. Our work should be measured against two criteria: your project success but also the experience you get while working with us.
A smart investment
As we are a very lean firm you invest the money in our time & thinking and not in overheads or processes that don’t add value to you. As owners of this small consulting firm your satisfaction is our most important asset, thus we are fully committed to make most out of your investment. Given our background, we know and apply proven strategic consulting tools and processes that big and renowned management consultancies are using.
