We combine traditional consulting model
Fact-based management consulting
We use methodologies and approaches of the traditional consulting toolkit, with a focus on analytical rigor and fact-based problem-solving. Our prior consulting experience in over 10 000 projects and extensive network allows us to make use of the best industry and functional practices.
Experienced team
Our management team combines alumni of Big 3 and Big 4 consulting firms, leading market research agencies, public policy institutes and entrepreneurs. To complement our Partner group, we employ talent that wants to grow and contribute to their geographies. Among us there are graduates from Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, London Business School, Bocconi, INSEAD and HEC and leading universities from our home markets. Each of us is an expert in different industries, functions and policy areas.
Practical and impact-oriented
We want to make sure that our work gives real results to our clients. We don't want to write theoretical exposes or reports that collect dust on shelves. Our primary focus is on serving clients who understand that they can benefit from external help and who are ready to implement solutions and drive change in their organizations. On our side, we help these clients by suggesting pragmatic solutions that take client specifics including capabilities of the internal team to implement.
Challenger Mindset
Bold and innovative
Our independence allows us to say what we truly believe to our clients. We are not afraid to challenge the status quo, and we encourage our clients to think out of the box and challenge their industries or institutions towards positive change. This means asking difficult questions, making uncomfortable observations, and bringing bold new ideas and innovative solutions to the table.
Flexible and efficient model
We are focused on what our clients really need - excellent teams delivering results on projects. Our advantage comes from the following business model: low overheads due to low internal bureaucracy, limited expenditures on marketing and fancy sales materials, high utilization of our consulting staff on paid client projects, proprietary collaboration tool for consultants (TimeBase), flexible and efficient team structures tailored to customer needs, cutting out non-value added components from project scope and applying success fees where it is warranted.
CIVITTA - The Challengeʳ Advisory
We started our journey in Estonia — home of the world’s most digitally advanced society (e-Estonia) and a world-class start-up ecosystem. We noticed that in small countries it’s not easy to access competitive and high-quality management consulting services: local companies are too small to offer everything clients need, while international companies are not easy to access, either lacking a local presence or asking for higher prices to cover their high overhead costs. As our company grew, we understood that our approach is fit not only for small countries but for bigger countries as well.
Taking advantage of our unique origin and experience, we took a Challenger approach in the management consulting sector to bridge that gap. We decided to mix smart people with lean processes and structures, thus creating the leading company in Central and Eastern Europe.
Until today, we have exported our business model to Emerging Europe as well as to the Nordics, and now we are present in 18 European countries. We have been developing our company based on the “one company” principle — so that even our smaller local offices are able to serve big projects in multiple areas.
Our main tenets for success:
- We challenge our competitors — we deliver more value, at scale.
- We challenge our clients — we are not afraid to ask the tough questions and help clients to challenge themselves or their own industries.
- We challenge ourselves — we like unconventional projects.
