The difference between good companies and great companies is their ability to execute strategy and deliver on their key initiatives. The pace of change for our clients has never been greater and Skarbek helps them to stay ahead of the game. Skarbek is an international strategy implementation and advisory firm, with a track record in value creation. We help clients to grow and compete successfully and sustainably by seeing and seizing strategic initiatives.

Working with businesses each step of the way, we bring a unique combination of remarkable people with original perspectives and deep sector experience, along with the tools and techniques to get the job done. High performance teamwork, clarity of purpose and mastering the human dynamics characterise our approach as we bring real confidence to the tackling of business-critical projects.

Our core skills include: 

• Project & Portfolio Management

• Innovation Fitness 
• Capability Building

Whether it’s planning and managing a complex cross-functional project, new product development and launch, business transformation, or growth from innovation, we help you to simplify the complex to build a plan to deliver your objectives with clarity and confidence. 

Skarbek primarily works in strategy implementation in the life sciences, FMCG and luxury / beauty sectors, though we handle other sectors as well. We look at problems from first principles and therefore we do not deliver templated solutions. Our deliverables are not slides, but strategy turned into outcomes.

We take our inspiration and our name from Krystyna Skarbek -  arguably one of Britain’s most valuable Special Operations Agents in World War II. Krystyna exemplifies elements of the firm’s ethos, proving that through commitment and creativity, one person can have a disproportionate impact on events.
