The Council Approach

Whether you are just entering a market or have been operating there for years, success in emerging markets today requires executives to elevate their strategies and execution to new levels. Given today’s realities of new local and global competitors, shifting regulatory environments, cost inflation, and a scarcity of local talent, the first-mover strategies and success metrics of the last decade will no longer cut it. Our membership-based Councils help senior executives in emerging markets and their organizations raise the bar on strategy and execution by enabling them to learn from the proven experiences and best practices of their peers who are getting it right in the face of new challenges.

What Makes Us Different:

• Experience-Based Insight and Learning
  from Peers -- Unlike the opinions of management consultancies, market research firms, and other advisory services, we offer senior executives fact and experience-based insight from the one source that matters – their peers. Our members are able to harness the insights and best practices of peer executives who have overcome similar challenges to their own and have gotten it right through private one on one phone consultations, peer cohorts around common issues, short-answer best practices research, and exclusive events.
• Un-metered Service -- Our members receive unmetered service throughout the year and can continuously tap into the insights and knowledge of peers on a range of strategic and tactical priorities without worrying about incurring additional costs.
• Emerging Markets Expertise and Asymmetric
  Insight -- Our deep expertise and thought leadership in emerging markets stems from past engagements, our eminent Advisory Board, and our on-the-ground relationships in new markets. This enables us to ask the right questions and identify leading best practice organizations before the broader market.
• Cost Effectiveness -- Because we are able to harness the collective insight and experience of our members, we provide our clients with high-quality, experience-based insights at the level of management consultancies but at a fraction of the cost. This enables our members to drastically reduce their spending on consulting engagements and other advisory services while saving time.
