Our focus is on helping clients on where to go - strategy - and how to get there - operations, organisation, technology and mergers and acquisitions.

Our approach is to focus on fact, not opinion: we start by defining the right question, then we dig deep into the numbers as the basis for creating solutions.

Bain people in London have a wide range of experiences - with large corporates, private equity and venture capital firms and start-ups; this diverse experience and approach enables us to find solutions that others miss.

We look at a business from a Chief Executive's perspective, as an integrated coherent whole. We help management make the big decisions: on strategy, operations, mergers and acquisitions and organisation; if they want, we then help translate decisions into actions to get results - which may mean fundamentally changing the company.

How do we do it? We start by defining the right question; then we dig deep into the numbers, as the basis for creating solutions. Bain people work across a wide range of industries - with large corporates, private equity firms, and start-ups; we are pragmatic and open-minded; that's why we find solutions that others miss. But we realise that helping an organisation change requires more than just a recommendation, so we try to put ourselves in our clients' shoes and focus on practical actions.
