CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO At BRG, we are not afraid to be different. We’re leaders, not followers, and continuously look for better ways to approach complex problems.

BRG – EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA • ALL SIDES OF THE ANSWER • 7

But how do we make sure that our answers have impact? At the simplest level, we start with better questions. Questions that probe and provoke. We think creatively, reframe issues and harness the power of our many perspectives, talents and cultures, to consider all angles and craft a compelling story.

Most importantly, our questions are asked by people that respect the situation, think in terms of value and appreciate what’s at stake. At BRG, we believe in having frank, open and honest conversations from the outset. We bring objectivity and a fresh viewpoint and we’re not afraid to challenge.

COMBINE ACADEMIC EXPERTISE WITH PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

We integrate academic expertise with practical experience to help us see further and form richer opinions. Without hands-on experience of what makes an industry work—and the unique challenges it faces—theoretical expertise has limited impact. Our carefully crafted combination of expertise and experience, the strategic and the tactical, sets us apart.

Our team consists of a unique combination of seasoned consultants, experienced industry leaders, renowned academics and former senior government officials. Clients benefit from our intellectual rigour, industry expertise and track record in navigating dynamic business environments.
