Deep and broad expertise
Our client capabilities experts cover all of EC’s global industries, core business disciplines, and geographies. We have in-depth understanding of these industries, functions, and geographies and continuously strengthen our expertise by working with many leading companies in each sector, business function, and region. Where relevant, we bring in the right global external partners with market-leading software and data sets. Our clients and consulting teams rely on the Client Capabilities Network to identify and help them respond to and be ahead of market dynamics, emerging trends, advances in technology, and other critical forces that shape an industry.
Asset-backed, rapid analyses
Our Client Capabilities Network teams often develop and deploy proprietary models and benchmarking databases to quantify a client’s position relative to competitors. For example, the network’s purchasing and supply management team works with consulting teams to analyze a client’s spending data, conduct interviews, and identify opportunities for potential savings via more effective purchasing processes. Our asset-backed capabilities are prebuilt and frequently refreshed to guarantee agile and rapid client-ready insights. The biggest value results from pairing the analyses’ output with the industry-, function- and geographic-specific expertise of our professionals
Specialized competencies and skills
Our professionals help and enable our consulting teams to provide clients with well-founded and analysis-backed recommendations addressing complex business problems across industries and functions. This includes in-depth primary and secondary research, modeling, and data analyses involving advanced statistics, econometric modeling, and optimization. In addition, some of our professionals can support consulting teams in the areas of simulation, database management, programming, and prototyping while leveraging advanced tools (e.g., SAS, R) and techniques (e.g., cluster analysis, Y Box simulations) to derive insights from raw data. Our client capabilities professionals offer personal perspectives rooted in their expertise and experience. They have access to one of the world’s most robust portfolios of external information and data sources.
Innovation for Change that Matters
