Our solutions

We offer targeted consulting services across the five areas where electrics and electronics decisions are most complex and most consequential.

Portfolio strategy

All major technology and portfolio decisions – from R&D investment prioritization and IP strategy to make-buy-partner modeling, outsourcing strategies, and business case development – require both engineering depth and commercial rigor. Our team challenges assumptions and stress-tests strategies at the level of the product, the platform, and the business model.

Operations support

Building resilient, cost-efficient operations in an environment defined by geopolitical risk, supply chain disruption, and rapid technology change is one of today’s defining challenges. Our work spans supply chain strategy and optimization, procurement, production strategy, cost reduction, localization, sustainability and circularity, and crisis management – including taskforce support during acute disruptions.

Market strategy

We provide market sizing, segmentation, application analysis, and go-to-market strategy for clients entering new segments or defending existing positions. Our team combines primary research with deep sector knowledge to deliver market strategies that are grounded in technical and commercial reality.

M&A and financing

We support strategic and financial clients across the full transaction lifecycle: target screening, synergy modelling, commercial and technical due diligence, vendor due diligence, post-merger integration, ecosystem and JV design, and IPO preparation. We have experience on both sides of the deal across all major E&E sub-sectors.

Digital transformation

Our work covers S/4HANA implementation, AI transformation, digital business design, SaaS pricing models, software-defined vehicles, and Industry 4.0 process transformation – all with a focus on making change stick at the operational level.

How we support clients

Our E&E consulting team covers the full technology and project lifecycle, from early investment decisions and engineering strategy through to execution, transformation, and exit. Our cross-functional approach, spanning technology, operations, market strategy, and transactions, means clients benefit from joined-up thinking across disciplines, not just isolated expertise in one area.

We combine technology insight and close connections to leading research institutions with the business acumen to deliver measurable results – and we stay involved until the job is done.
