We are a dynamic consulting firm, focused on delivering sustainable change. We make sure our clients succeed in their long-term goals by helping them turn their strategy into action through exceptional delivery and establishing a culture of change. We are a transformation consultancy, meaning we work with clients on projects to deliver change and improvement, such as in the way they operate, the services they provide or how they manage their people. We get out of the theory and into the detail working directly in client teams to deliver real impact. Our people are our greatest assets and are core to why our clients consistently work with us – our clients like who we are and how we work.

Our Life Sciences sector is a critical part of our business and has experienced double digit growth in recent years. It is an exciting place to work – we are constantly pushing our own boundaries in terms of the capabilities of our team, the nature of the projects we deliver and the impact we have for our clients. We work in corporate teams of Life Sciences organisations solving their most critical business problems, such as in responding to disruptive technology trends; implementing innovative products; delivering transformation programmes; upskilling and building capability; or defining operating models and accompanying organisational design. We have an ambitious strategy to continue growth of our revenue and capabilities.

Our Life Sciences expertise spans the value chain from R&D and clinical development through commercial and post-market support, as well as in support functions such as digital & technology and HR. Within this, we have four business functions that are core to our strategy and continued growth: Commercial, Medical Affairs, R&D and Global Health. As a sector, we have long-standing partnerships with a range of global pharmaceutical companies (e.g. GSK, AstraZeneca, ViiV, Bayer, Otsuka) and work on projects big and small – from large enterprise transformations to targeted change support within specific teams. Together, we enable Life Sciences organisations to maximise their business value and social impact to achieve the best outcomes for patients.
