Capability on demand

Access specialist benches for research, analytics, AI and reusable IP exactly when needed.

Fast, predictable scale

Proposal bandwidth

Senior consultants spend 30–40% of their time on proposals instead of delivery.

Delivery bottlenecks

Research, PMO, execution and insight-generation capacity reaches its limit.

Specialist gaps

Experts are needed for selected mandates — but not always as permanent hires.

Utilisation variance

Fixed payroll during variable demand cycles erodes profitability.

Start small. Prove value. Scale with confidence.

You retain client relationships, IP and pricing control. We provide the delivery engine.

Fixed fee

Ad hoc projects with a defined scope and outcome.

Blended FTE

Reserved hours or capacity as demand becomes predictable.

In-house seats

Named people within IBC for consistent delivery.

Shared GCC

A dedicated centre outside the core IBC team.
