Berkeley Research Group Adds Global Strategic Growth Advisory Firm Phronesis Group
EMERYVILLE, Calif., Feb. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Berkeley Research Group announced today that it has expanded its global strategy and advisory capabilities with the addition of Phronesis Group, LLC, a strategic growth advisory firm, whose team will conduct business as Phronesis BRG.
Phronesis BRG offers an integrated advisory solution to inform, guide, execute and measure global growth strategies, backed by a proven business-analytics formula and methodology for integrating across enterprise silos. Phronesis BRG's enterprise-wide approach addresses problems that often occur when partial solutions—provided by other consultative services, IT systems integrators, researchers and advertising agencies—become frozen at the execution phase due to the absence of an integration process and an effective stakeholder governance model.
The Phronesis BRG approach integrates these disparate avenues at the executive-branch level, ensuring better coordination to enhance business performance. Phronesis BRG offers analytics-based strategic advice and growth coaching to C-suite executives and government ministry clients.
"As we looked at the next phase of BRG's growth and evolution, we sought additional consulting partners that would help us provide 'start-to-finish' service, drawing on our big data capabilities. The Phronesis team is a perfect fit for BRG's platform and culture, as well as for our clients' multilayered needs," said BRG Chairman and Principal Executive Officer David J. Teece. "Phronesis BRG will provide clients with strategic growth guidance to drive global expansion and manage big data opportunities. Together, we can help clients find and mine the most valuable data, as well as translate and interpret data into insight. This enables us to better understand a client's forward growth opportunities."
Partnering with clients closely throughout key phases of strategy, implementation and execution, Phronesis BRG offers a market-tested and globally proven process that has given C-suites and governments the knowledge necessary to achieve growth and economic success within diverse competitive markets.
"We created Phronesis many years ago to answer and deliver against a market services gap, created by market demand, that wasn't being met," said Jeffrey Hupe, Global Head of Phronesis BRG. "Clients were asking, 'How can today's massive amount of data be captured to enable global growth for our businesses and drive economic guidance for our developing countries?' Clients desire strategy work to be completed with true execution guidance, coupled with the metrics to back up the work, and the world-renowned researchers and economists at BRG give us the scale and leading expertise to help our clients achieve greater shareholder value."
