The energy and natural resources industries face monumental global socio-economic, geopolitical, financial, and legal & regulatory changes, to name a few, the advent of BRICS and a BRICS currency and the demise of the US Dollar and Euro as trade and reserve currencies, a uni-polar versus a multi-polar world, the unprecedented western sanctions against Russian resources, rampant inflation, net-zero & energy transition, ESG reporting, and OECD BEPS anti-avoidance tax legislation.

Industry incumbents must decide on their unique multi-dimensional response to simultaneously navigate and exploit the complexities, uncertainties, threats and opportunities these changes pose.

In deciding on your response, we are here to help you make "good" rather than "good enough" decisions. Given these responses' strategic magnitude, analytical & organisational complexity and content challenge, all sorts of typical human biases are triggered in the decision-making process, causing humans to settle for satisficing responses (good-enough) instead of the best ones (good), leaving significant value on the table. To bridge that value gap, we assist in applying a decision quality framework (DQF) to the decision-making process aimed at identifying, minimising or eliminating the influence of these human biases on the decision.

In addition, we are an advisory boutique in international tax and legal structuring, business development, corporate finance, and accounting & reporting. Combined with our specific industry experience, skills, and in-depth knowledge of its value drivers gained over 30 years in advisory, managerial and principal roles, we can assist in generating sustainable, creative, pragmatic, unique, bespoke and value-added alternative solutions for the decision-making process. In developing these alternative solutions, when appropriate or necessary, we can strike out on new paths rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
