A management consulting firm that helps companies define their strategies, including companies that work in business services, consumer goods, food and beverage, leisure and hospitality, private equity and venture capital, manufacturing and industrial, retail, technology, media and telecom industries.
The client sought a seasoned management consultant to assist a 90-year-old luxury goods brand in combating industry dynamics so that the brand performs optimally and maintains its leadership position.
The client’s dedicated Graphite account executive leveraged Graphite’s proprietary technology to filter through over 160 highly vetted independent retail strategy consultants on Graphite to present a shortlist of five candidates who met the client’s specific requirements. Graphite's platform enabled seamless interactions between shortlisted independent experts and the client to schedule interviews, negotiate rates, and onboard the ideal expert for the project needs.
After a quick evaluation process, the consulting firm onboarded a former MBB consultant with extensive experience in corporate strategy, market research, and growth strategy for the 6-month project.
The independent consultant started off by leading a current state assessment to understand the myriad of existing challenges posing existential threat to the client’s global business model. This initial phase would be succeeded by the process of presenting the optimal solution to enable them to achieve their transformation objectives. The recommended transformation plan would include a financial and strategic business case for why the client should pursue our prioritized strategic option and a roadmap that the luxury goods brand can use to bring the strategic option to life.
Through the course of the project the consulting firm and the independent expert were able to seamlessly manage billable hours, invoices and payments all in one centralized location on the Graphite platform.
Based on the tremendous value delivered by the independent expert the consulting company was able to win a 5-month extension on the project with expanded scope.
