Growth Strategy
Companies are targeting aggressive growth strategies in response to structural shifts caused by new technologies, changing regulations, evolving customer needs and sector convergence. We help clients to seize and implement growth opportunities that match their financial ambitions.
Operating Strategy and Costs
Ever-increasing customer expectations, rapid market and technological change, disruptions from new entrants, increasing levels of regulation and reputational risk, and growing shareholder scrutiny on performance are common features of today's business landscape. As such leaders are being forced to continually re-evaluate their operational strategy, balancing short term cost improvements with long term change.
Deal Strategy
While organic growth takes time and often requires development of new capabilities, M&A enables faster realisation of growth through access to new markets, sales and distribution channels, new capabilities or by simplifying and optimising infrastructure, operations and costs. We help clients create value by challenging conventional thinking, bringing real industry insights and ‘investor-grade’ rigour, alongside on-the-ground support.
Enterprise-wide Transformation
Transformation is not about incremental change, it requires fundamental shifts in an organisation’s value proposition, how they compete and their core operations. Transformation is rarely straightforward and can encounter significant organisational resistance. KPMG’s Global Strategy Group helps clients determine whether or not and to what extent transformation is genuinely required.
