Since the Company’s inception we have been working with business leaders in the Russian industry; we were growing together and passed every stage of the evolutionary development: active growth, improvement of the quality of management and the transfer of technologies, efficiency enhancement, the development of corporate culture, the quest for new ideas and the increase of the share of highly marginal products and services. We invented several non-public products for exploring the external environment. These products allow the Customer to see the entire costs structure and manufacturing expenses in comparison with the best companies in Russia and the global business practices within the sector.

While being deeply aware of business goals, having the benefit of competence in best practices, technical details and implemented projects and being in possession of a wide network of business contacts both in Russia and in the international markets, we are helping companies in building top teams and governance boards capable of and motivated to achieve the goals set by the Customer.
The teams built with our involvement have achieved outstanding results; among these are: successfully taking the Company to the IPO LSE crucial for the M&A sector, the achievement of the market leader position by the Company in terms of internal efficiency indicators (EBITDA margin), etc.

The economy, business and the competition grade have changed after 2008. The ability to quickly transform oneself so as to match the changing market became the key factor of success. Together with our Customers we became more intelligent and creative. This is the way in which our consulting practice emerged:

• The diagnostics and upgrading of corporate governance model in keeping with the best practices
• Development and perfection of long-term top team incentive programs that link the stimulation of management with the financial goals of shareholders.

As a result of the economic downturn in 2014 has formed an enormous amount of bad debts. Only 3 of the largest state bank accumulated corporate debt > 20 trillion rubles, of which bad > 7%. The growth of non-performing liabilities increases the need for the banks to have a good expertise related to these assets. Having a deep understanding of production, the macro-economic factors, the products and the market, we started successful cooperation with major banks in the strategic assessment of business assets, including: operational and technical due diligence, develop go-to-market strategy, the diagnosis and improvement of the business model and asset management model, and as the formation of the top teams of the operating asset.

Another important consequence of the financial and economic crises was the growth of the government’s share and regulatory influence in the Russian economy and, quite likely, this tendency will continue in the future.
Together with this there grows the importance of the business’s capacity to build efficient communication with the bodies of state and the relevant agencies and regulators.
While in possession of a strong analytical methodology, long-standing reputation and a stable network of business contacts, we are helping companies to build a systemic and efficient dialogue with the government within the framework of projects new to the Customer.
