Overview
Six questions, six answers
Our six areas of expertise are not catalogue lines: they are the six questions business leaders actually ask us. Where is the company going? How should it be organised? How should it be managed? With which tools? With what financing? And how do we get what was decided adopted?
These subjects are connected. An engagement that starts with a strategic diagnosis often continues with a reporting overhaul, because it becomes clear that the trade-offs cannot be tracked without proper instruments. Conversely, a request for tools sometimes reveals an organisational problem that no software will solve.
We say so at scoping, even if it means redirecting the initial request. Selling an engagement that does not address the real cause is the surest way to lose a client and, more importantly, to waste their time.
Each service has its own page: triggering situations, detailed approach, deliverables, week-by-week schedule, expected results and frequently asked questions. The durations shown correspond to a standard scope and are confirmed in the scoping note.
Issues rarely come alone. Engagements build on one another.

for the initial scoping
Diagnosis, then management
The most common path. An eight-week strategic diagnosis sets the priorities, then a performance management engagement puts in place the indicators needed to track their execution.
- Strategy consulting
- Performance management
Organisation, then change
A reorganisation only works if managers carry it. The two engagements are then run in parallel, two to three weeks apart.
- Organisation & processes
- Change management
Financing, then structuring
Preparing a debt raise often exposes reporting weaknesses. We first deal with the urgency of the file, then strengthen the instruments.
- Structuring & financing
- Performance management
Common core
Four steps, whatever the service
The content changes; the method does not. That is what makes it possible to start quickly and stay clear from the first day to the last.
Scoping
A first confidential conversation to qualify the real issue, the constraints and the expected result.
Diagnosis
Data analysis, interviews with key teams and a factual presentation of findings.
Recommendation
Costed scenarios, documented trade-offs and a prioritised roadmap.
Implementation
Hands-on support on the ground until the agreed indicators are reached.
Frequently asked questions
Fees, timing, scope
Mainly SMEs and mid-sized companies with 10 to 250 employees, as well as holding structures and family offices. Below ten people, a structured consulting engagement is rarely the right investment: we say so frankly in the first conversation.
As a fixed fee, set after the half-day scoping session on the basis of the agreed scope and timetable. The amount is announced before work starts and only changes through an amendment you have explicitly approved.
No. The initial thirty-minute conversation and the resulting scoping note are free and without commitment. They are as useful to us as to you: we turn down engagements for which we are not the right partner.
Yes, in the Greater Region (Belgium, France, Germany) for clients whose business or subsidiaries cross the border. Our base and our regulatory knowledge remain in Luxembourg.
French and English for all deliverables and exchanges. Interviews can be held in the country’s other usual languages depending on who is involved.
Success indicators are defined together at scoping and reviewed at every milestone. If the trajectory drifts, we flag it immediately rather than at the final presentation, and propose an adjustment. Every long engagement includes a quarterly exit clause.
Always. Accountant, lawyer, notary, banker: our job is to bring their input together, not to replace them. We even ask to be introduced to them from the scoping stage.
From four weeks for a targeted diagnosis to twelve months for transformation support. The duration is set at scoping, and we prefer a series of short engagements to a long contract without milestones.
