Indigo Mandarin works with CEOs and their executive teams to create enduring business value. We focus on both business and people – knowing that it is the people in organizations who ultimately bring to life strategies and plans.
Whether developing and executing business strategies, building capabilities or executing M&A transactions, we ensure organizations and individuals achieve significant and lasting improvements in performance outcomes.
strategy
We approach strategy as a journey. Our aim is to transform your strategic planning process into a continuous and fluid set of activities. This ensures your Organisation’s priorities are in alignment with external developments, contingencies and challenges that inevitably emerge.
We take a practical and systematic approach to developing strategy. Honed by 20+ years of experience as senior industry executives and former consultants in top-tier business consultancies, we understand the practical constraints of trying to implement theoretical solutions. Our recommendations are tailored to your organisation’s context.
We build capability, not dependency. Our approach addresses both the key questions and quality of your strategic decision making process, so that the organisation is equipped with new strategic and innovation skills and better decision-making capabilities.
change & transformation
We develop systematic and integrated implementation plans in partnership with our clients, with clear milestones and functional improvements to achieve visible results.
We will support and follow through – working with you and your team to deliver the transition while sharing our knowledge and building capabilities.
mergers & acquisitions
We provide the full range of M&A advisory services for both entrepreneurial and corporate business owners as well as the global financial services industry.
For every transaction we provide expert guidance and support throughout the process while working with our clients in identifying and securing the best strategic fit.
Our broad international experience coupled with our network of partners means we can support any transaction on either the buy or sell side, regardless of geography, sector or size.
