We don't publish client names. We publish what they faced, what we did, and what changed.

A distribution partner in East Africa

Sector
Food
Region
Africa
  1. The challenge

    A food company was about to sign an exclusive distribution agreement with a large local firm.

  2. What we did

    We traced the partner's ownership through three layers, reviewed local press and court records, and made discreet field enquiries.

  3. The outcome

    An undisclosed tie to an official at the licensing authority came to light. The client redrafted the agreement with a disclosure clause and a termination right, and went ahead.

Choosing between two markets in Southeast Asia

Sector
Manufacturing
Region
South and East Asia
  1. The challenge

    A manufacturer was comparing two countries for a regional plant.

  2. What we did

    We compared all five risk dimensions in both, studied the licensing path in three industrial zones, and interviewed investors who had gone before.

  3. The outcome

    The client chose the country with fewer incentives but steadier rules, and entered in two phases instead of one.

A crisis playbook for an infrastructure project in North Africa

Sector
Infrastructure
Region
Middle East and North Africa
  1. The challenge

    A forty-person engineering team at a site far from the capital, with no clear emergency plan.

  2. What we did

    We built realistic scenarios for the site with management, wrote a playbook setting out who decides and what happens in the first hours, then tested it in a simulation exercise.

  3. The outcome

    When protests closed the main roads, the decision was taken within hours by the playbook, and the team returned safely with no injuries.
