Specialist Business Units

We have designed our firm so it can do two things exceptionally well:

Create and sustain leading, world-class capabilities in the management disciplines essential to growth
Be able to bring those capabilities to bear in a pragmatic and customized way for our clients

In order to build leading edge methods and deep expertise in different aspects of growth, we invest heavily internally in specialist business units to drive knowledge development, and we periodically merge with other companies to augment our capabilities.

Monitor's specialist units focus on different aspects of corporate and competitive strategy; commercial strategy – marketing, sales, pricing; innovation; organization; economic development; capability building. These specialist business units bring their expertise to Monitor clients both as part of integrated client service teams and independently.
