What We Do?

Strategy Development
All companies have a natural Business Life Cycle that follow a standard set of phases: Launch, Growth, Maturity and finally Decline/Renewal. Those companies that survive manage to reinvent or renew themselves in line with changes in the business environment, competition, customer preference, technology, and social norms. Those companies that manage to grow from small to medium to large need the ability to rapidly scale but most never do, either because they choose not to or because they lack the skills and/or resources. Understandably, most organizations focus on their clients or customers with little time spent reinventing themselves. Irrespective of an organizations size or purpose,...

Urban Planning and Regeneration
With almost 60% of Indonesia’s population living in cities, managing the allocation of urban land between various land uses is a critical issue. Urban populations tend to be more productive and sustainable but, the speed and scale of urbanization brings challenges, including meeting accelerated demand for infrastructure, affordable housing, transport systems, as well as jobs and services. The national and regional governments play a critical role in preparing spatial plans but their interaction with economic development is what usually influences their success. As Indonesia retrofits public transit into urban areas, it creates opportunities for transforming economies, increased...

Economic Development and Social Impact
Economic Development is a suite of tools such as policies, programs, projects/activities that seek to improve the economic well-being and quality of life of a community. Economies are not static entities; they are influenced by local, national and international events or conditions, competitiveness, legal and regulatory environment, available infrastructure, resources and skills, investments and incentives, entrepreneurship and available assets. Proactive government action is usually required to reverse serious economic decline. Responsibility for economic development does not rest with a single entity. National and regional governments play a critical role in creating a...

Transport / Mobility and Infrastructure
Good quality transport/mobility, infrastructure and utilities are critical enablers of any successful economy. They offer points of differentiation and competitiveness. Unlike real estate which can be quickly rebuilt or adapted, these infrastructures/services can take 10 years or more to plan and build and can have a lifespan of 25 to 100 years and are a critical for sustainable development. They require long term planning and are the backbone on which all other services are built such as housing, real estate development, jobs, education and health and wider community facilities. We are able to offer advice on strategy, planning and implementation of individual services...

Corporate and Institutional Advocacy
Laws, policies, regulations and administrative arrangements are some of the key instruments that government use to deliver change and shape societies. The pressure to “get things done” quickly can lead to unintended consequences and also these arrangements can become ineffective or inappropriate because of changes to the economy, society, and technology amongst others. It is important that organizations such as the private sector, state owned enterprises and the not-for-profit sector can make representation to governments to help shape the future economy or wider society. Corporate and Institutional advocacy is a powerful tool to communicate important perspectives to...

Organizational and Business Transformation
Today organizations are having to cope with rapid changes because of increased competition, regulatory or legal changes, economic, political or technological cycles, leadership transition, environmental and climate change, natural disasters, and many more. Many organizations find it difficult to reinvent themselves without external assistance. This is particularly true of more mature organizations where they are often more risk averse, less agile and find it more difficult to innovate and grow. Leaders are facing the unenviable challenge of providing stability whilst at the same time radically transforming their business models and growth trajectory. We are able to...

Energy and Climate Change
According to the United Nations “Coal, oil and gas are by far the largest contributor to global climate change, accounting for over 75 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90 per cent of all carbon dioxide emissions”. The resulting warmer climates are disrupting the Earth’s natural systems, posing big risks, that need to be mitigated or managed multilaterally, but also by combinations of countries, cities, organizations and communities. Countries have made voluntary and/or binding commitments, the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to meet these goals and governments and organizations will be required to operate differently going forward. For organizations...

Real Estate Advisory and Portfolio Management
The real estate sector is integral to economic and social development, encompassing a diverse range of property types, from residential and commercial spaces to large-scale mixed-use developments. It influences urban planning, investment strategies, and sustainability initiatives, impacting both the private and public sectors. Real estate ownership varies from corporations focused on delivering goods and services to specialized investment firms. Regardless of ownership type, optimizing asset and portfolio performance is essential. In Indonesia, many state-owned enterprises hold legacy assets that no longer align with their strategic needs. These assets require...
