Its work centres on strategic consulting projects for client organisations, including operational improvement, technology advancement and M\u0026amp;A questions. The supplied context also associates the business with technology alliances involving AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Salesforce, ServiceNow and Workday, alongside academic and research collaboration on areas such as AI, climate transition, education and talent development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pb-lead\"\u003eA project-led advisory model creates connected strategic questions: which capabilities deserve investment, how consulting value is delivered, and how external shifts reshape client demand.
