Perspectives
Analysis from our practice on the strategic and organizational questions that matter to leadership teams in the Middle East.
Portfolio clarity in a diversification era
Diversification is not a strategy unless the corporate center can allocate capital, govern performance, and make exit decisions with discipline.
What gets lost in succession
Succession in family enterprises is too often treated as a handover event. In reality it is a multi-year design problem involving governance, capability, incentives, and authority.
The cost of premature AI investment
AI spending before data quality, process discipline, and management ownership are in place tends to create activity instead of value.
Board composition as competitive advantage
Boards assembled for representation alone rarely improve judgment. Composition should reflect capability, challenge quality, and the actual risk profile of the institution.
Why cost programs fail the second year
Year-one savings fade when management systems, accountability, and operating habits do not change.
