Our commitment to entrepreneurial innovation allows us to provide our clients with
professional services from consultants who have extensive SMEs experience. Our
delivery model is based upon a proprietary methodology that we call SUCCESS
design. This methodology is designed to ensure that we:
 involve all of our competencies in each phase of our engagements;
 leverage on the standards, benchmarks and approaches we have developed;
and
 comply detailed control procedures that are designed to ensure that we are
delivering high quality solutions.
Portfolio based approach includes:
When the matters are complex, we develop portfolio strategy. This can be a
roadmap by which solutions are arranged to achieve their respective goals with
intention to design optimal portfolios and its implication to achieve the company’s
values and profit in long term.
Multi-disciplinary approach coupled with strong capabilities and a holistic viewpoint
to help them build world-class, multi-billion dollar companies. This improves cash
flows, productivity, profits, and to fully grown organisations.
We design and manage the portfolio professionally and further broken down into
various programmes where the programmes are further broken down into respective
arranged projects to achieve various objectives in a sequence to maximize
profitability and shareholder value over the entire portfolio period.
Service based approach includes:
We render services for clients on professional tasks such as financial/ business
review, marketing strategies, problems solving, taxation, project audit, mentor,
coach, critical business advises, and other services.
These services are usually repeatable to help clients to achieve a specified outcome.
All services include consistent quality check to ensure minimum standards met.
Post-engagement
We strongly believe that the end is another beginning. The first seed is the wisdom
gain from the previous experiences. Without this seed, we need to rebuild such
wisdom before or during the next course of actions, which are both wasting of time
and resources. Not reviewing these experiences is equal to wasting invaluable
assets for future growth. We judge the outcomes of the engagement and learn how
to be better next time.
We conduct post-engagement review and insightful business review for clients to
learn how can be we better, understand the business better, and detect possible
danger ahead.
We conduct regular follow up with the intention to understand clients and help them
to grow smoothly.

before and during the course of serving the clients.

incremental, interactive work cadences.

ensure ONLY quality suggestions and decisions made. Our vast knowledge and skills
shaped us with the capabilities to make the best adjustments instantly to benefit the
clients most in term of agreed packages and solutions proposed while still focus on
the business goals.
We believe such approach serve our clients’ best as their companies grow as time
passes.

Every conscious moment is another decision. A decision can be a trivial yawn or
important $100 million investment. The cumulative impact of decisions (even though
each one of them individually is small) is what determines the overall quality of life
(personally and business), thus “don’t take decisions lightly”. We adopts a
