Operating
Policy:
Close workingelationships with multi-lateral financial
institutions enable the firm to offer strategies, develop
solutions, conceptualize policy and provide technical support
that is in line with institutional and project sponsor objectives.
Often, the firm, institutional investors and project sponsors
work jointly in defining problem sets or to conceptualize
areas requiring policy support or policy redressal; such
an approach enables the firm to evolve consulting responses
that fully reflect institutional and project expectations.
In carrying out assignments, the firm pursues
a transparent style of functioning; this ensures the firm's
recommendations are synchronous with client expectations;
for example, documented research and analysis supports recommendations
/ technical inputs. Likewise, in offering an opinion, alternatives
are analyzed along with the recommended option. Where necessary,
historical perspectives are invoked, practices of other
countries examined, and technical inputs configured, to
ensure that a project incorporates a high level of efficiency
and that capital flows maximize ROI, Sponsor and Institutional
objectives. In formulating a course of action, a primary
goal is to marshal the organizational strengths of a client.
