At OC&C Strategy Consultants, we've tackled intricate business challenges with uncommon sense for over 35 years. We're an international consulting firm that prioritizes expertise over sheer size, focusing on core specialisms where we can truly make a difference. Our work at OC&C is centred on the Consumer, Retail, TMT, and Business Services industries. We offer consulting services for corporate business strategy and transaction support. Importantly, our dedication to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles is embedded within our internal operations and extends to our client work. Our team is a diverse group of agile thinkers united by a shared curiosity and a commitment to problem-solving. We're not advocates of one-size-fits-all solutions because we recognize the uniqueness of each client challenge. Our approach involves a deep exploration of the issue, seeking out its root causes and crafting robust strategies as solutions. Since our inception in 1987, we've expanded our footprint to 12 offices worldwide, providing tailored consulting services to meet your specific needs. If you're seeking a consulting partner adept at deciphering complexity, devising meaningful strategies, and embracing ESG principles, OC&C may be the right partner to support your journey.
