Performance and Competition
How you stack up and how to stay ahead
This one’s all about how you’re doing, and how you stack up. We compare your performance to others in your space, highlight what’s working (and what’s not), and point out areas where you can stand out even more. It’s like a check-up but for your strategy.
Questions we can answer
- How does our firm’s performance (e.g., project win rates, profitability) compare to competitors in priority sectors or regions?
- What differentiators (e.g., technology adoption, sustainability credentials) are driving competitor success in high-growth markets?
- Where are gaps in service offerings, client relationships, or operational efficiency limiting competitive positioning?
Actionable results
- Strengthen market share in underpenetrated sectors by aligning service bundles with emerging client needs (e.g., climate resilience, smart infrastructure).
- Improve bid competitiveness through targeted investments in niche expertise or partnerships to address gaps in technical capabilities.
- Mitigate risks from pricing pressures or talent shortages by diversifying client portfolios and optimizing resource allocation.
