A report is a snapshot of time and place.

The pace of change in the global economy can render a report obsolete before it’s finished printing.

Likewise, a strategy deck is based on premises and assumptions that can be overtaken by events before a consultant has finished their presentation.

At FrontLine Advisory, our principal deliverable is to change how your organization thinks about the non-technical aspects of your work.

To alter your view of the world around you.

  • Managing Locality: Strategy & Operations Consulting

    We advise clients from an array of industries on the strategic and operational challenges posed by complex frontier markets.

    We begin by conducting holistic, integrated assessments of our clients’ place in the market in question. What are our clients’ strategic objectives? How will their operations affect – and be affected by – the local environment? How can strategic plans and operational practices be tailored to maximize profitability and minimize risk?

    We then deliver customized consulting and training solutions that enable our clients to “go local” effectively and efficiently – adapting to local realities while maintaining corporate standards and identities.

  • Bilateral Impact Assessment

    Global corporates face mounting pressure to manage their local impacts and secure a “social license to operate.”

    But this is only half of the story: local communities exert agency as well, and can shape corporate operations.

    How can corporates understand the give-and-take between their operations and local dynamics? The Bilateral Impact Assessment maps this dynamic relationship, and enables informed, responsible decision-making.

  • Local Content Labor Advisory

    How can businesses “go local”, and understand the social, economic, and cultural nuances of foreign labor markets?

    How to optimize recruitment, leadership, and personnel development to achieve long-term success?

    How to go “beyond compliance” and develop a holistic local labor strategy that optimizes loyalty, productivity, continuity, and performance?

  • Ethnographic Market Analysis

    Grassroots trends in social, economic, and political instability create risks and opportunities across the developing world.
