Many years ago, when working with the Board of an ABB company, I recall the then CEO of ABB, Percy Barnevik, declaring that it was time to migrate the company’s core business from “metal bashing” to “know how”. In a more local Board Room back in Aberdeen, another CEO, Jeremy Daly, of ASCO, stated during a Board Meeting, that we sever our biceps from our cerebral cortex at our peril. Since returning from a thirty month assignment with SABIC in Riyadh, I have run Mustang Strategic Ventures in order to leverage a number of strands emerging from the learnings in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Now, building on experience gained through live “ventures” Mustang Advisory offers the knowledge and know how which has accrued during fifty years in positions ranging from “boots to board rooms”, and everything in-between. Mustang Advisory offers advice, support and hands on capability in each of the following areas: Localisation Joint Ventures Consulting Skills Internationalisation Structured Innovation Company Representation Top Team Assessments Resource Gap Analysis Interim Management Feasibility Studies Career Support Outplacement
