FROM THE
CEO’s DESK
The advisory industry is largely modeled to benefit from a dependent client not an autonomous one. The drive for higher utilization and billables inherently conflicts with the client expectation for swift engagement closure. The basis and appetite for amorphous ‘blue sky’ engagements has significantly diminished in a time when knowledge, talent, technology, and execution wherewithal are no longer in the dominion of the few large firms. Therefore, engagements are expected to be well-defined and finite.
HEX Advisory Group, “HEX”, draws its ethos from the Hexagon – the most efficient and resilient shape in the universe. HEX takes pride in helping the executive leadership in global
corporations and Private Equity portcos optimize their human capital, operations, technology assets, services footprint, and vendor contracts in an expeditious manner. HEX is a coterie of senior advisors and former CxOs who can drive end-to-end program execution OR provide point solutions for expedited efficiency realization. All the benchmark
intelligence generated from these efficiency programs are curated on our proprietary cloud platform, HEX IndexTM.
HEX IndexTM delivers the most definitive source of Business and Technology intelligence, benchmark metrics, contractual positions, industry trends, and practical insights as a plug and play product platform. Both buy-side and sell-side corporations plug into the Index to manage their multimillion-dollar portfolios.
We are NOT drawn by client logos or budgets but by the desire to build client advocacy and long-lasting trust. We remain eternally thankful to our clients and alliance partners AND welcome those who are yet to experience a contemporary way of engaging advisors.
If not now, then when!
