About OC&C Strategy Consultants APAC
OC&C focuses on answering strategic questions facing clients from first principles, based on market, customer, and competitor realities, rather than operational status quo and constraints. That's a strategy, the firm says, that ensures clients benefit from truly custom-built solutions, rather than off-the-shelf methodologies.
Although OC&C doesn’t publicize its client list, it does claim to work not only with major corporations but also mid-sized companies that need strategic help in rapidly changing industries. Its practice areas include advanced analytics and AI, retail, leisure and hospitality, B2B services, consumer goods, technology, media and telecommunications, and private equity.
OC&C has expanded its footprint in core strategic markets and now serves clients on a global scale. Founded in Europe more than three decades ago, OC&C has offices in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, and Poland. In addition to maintaining its presence in these markets, OC&C has also leveraged its European market position in its core sectors to the US, Asia, and beyond—operating from offices in New York, Boston, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Sydney, and Melbourne.
One point of pride for OC&C is its expertise in consumer goods. Within this area, it offers insights and provides solutions in three key sections: growth stakes, profitability issues, and category management. Retail has also long been an OC&C focus. The firm claims to have been one of the original advocates for the importance of emerging value offers, private label goods, and battling category killers.
The firm has made a substantial effort to advise technology companies and media outlets since its founding. It offers strategy reviews, transformational performance improvement, profitable use of the digital arena, and go-to-market strategies for new services and products. OC&C also supports world-renowned private equity firms in such areas as potential investment scoping, vendor and buyer due diligence, and post-acquisition strategy.
OC&C is a Certified B Corp, meaning the firm has met high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability as defined by B Lab. This announcement, published on OC&C’s own website, describes the firm’s motivations (using the B Impact Assessment as a framework), its ongoing ESG commitments (including pro bono work aiming for 1.5 percent of global revenue and energy/carbon initiatives), and a commitment to recertify every three years.
