About Roland Berger & Partners

We are one of the world’s largest strategy consulting firms, founded in 1967.

The firm’s success and ambition lies in devising creative strategies that work; innovative yet pragmatic answers for today’s business leaders, governments and public institutions.

Roland Berger’s consultants, spread over 35 offices in 24 countries, work with blue-chip clients across all major business sectors, providing support in achieving sustainable competitive edge – leading to superior growth, returns and shareholder value.

The London office’s main practice areas are oil and gas, utilities, telecoms, transportation and engineered products, but we also cover financial services and consumer goods and retail, and more.

Example of projects for clients include:

• Designing and running a scenario-based 'war game' for a client to explore distribution issues in the UK commercial insurance market.
• Assisting an international oil company in determining whether and how to develop its business in Japan.
• Evaluation of international new market opportunities for a UK transport company by considering the political, market, business and competitive context of various country markets to identify the attractiveness of each.
• Validation of financial model, business plan and Gulf region rollout plan for a Kuwaiti retailer.
• Due diligence project on a UK-based chemicals distribution company. The objective was to identify the critical issues and potential 'red flags' in the company's business plan, growth strategy and market environment.
