Vantage Strategic Peer Assist Service

Delivering Access to Centuries of Collective Industry Experience

TECHNICALLY GROUNDED STRATEGIC ADVICE

Savvy industry veterans that understand the importance of critical technical issues when evaluating new opportunities to build long-term growth in the commercial value of the business.
 

For many companies the luxury of having a team of in-house experts to draw on to deliver sage advice on the validity of key technical data being used to support commercial decisions is becoming increasingly difficult due to reduced head counts and natural attrition as the great crew change leads to loss of expertise across the industry. 

The VANTAGE strategic peer assist service offers the opportunity to leverage highly experienced, technically proficient, experts to advise on risks, opportunities and alternatives, deliver an independent circuit breaker to the echo-chamber effect and ultimately help clients reach decisions that limit regret and land better deals to generate more long-term value.

The standard Vantage service covers three days, one to review meeting pre-read, a day to attend the meeting, and a day to write up feedback and recommendations using a consistent format that allows clients to benchmark meeting effectiveness and quality over time.

The Strategic service leverages experience from SMEs with considerable engagement at senior management and C-Suite levels to strengthen choices made to drive business growth.

Our team delivers world-class capability, each member of the strategic advice service rising from being an expert technical practitioner to play key commercial roles in major companies or through consulting to start-ups and small to medium sized enterprises.

Supported by an extensive group of technical experts within the Vantage network, our strategic advisory group is well-placed to help clients that recognise the value derived from informed, well considered decisions.

With our combined global experience and exposure to extensive international new venture opportunities we recognise how technical attractiveness must meet favourable fiscal requirements and expectations of local regulators to produce the sweet spot where all good deals converge.  

We welcome you to try our service risk free by offering a no-nonsense service guarantee for your first use of the fixed price strategic review service. If you don’t believe we added value, we wont send you an invoice for the advisory service. Some terms and conditions apply to this offer.
