Disciplines / Consulting & Mentoring

Industrial-development consulting and investment steering.

Before the blend, there is a decision: whether to build or expand a line at all, and how to fund it. We advise on agro-industrial development and steer the investment behind it — pairing food-industry technique with a business case, run to PMP® standards.

What this discipline covers

Two engagements, one development logic.

C-01

Industrial-development consulting

Counsel on building and scaling a food-manufacturing operation — process and capacity choices, make-or-buy, technology and equipment fit, and the development roadmap from a single line to a category. The technical judgement that sits underneath an industrial decision.

C-02

Investment steering

Framing and governing the spend behind the plan — sizing the investment, structuring the case for capital, and steering the project through its phases so the money tracks against milestones rather than optimism. Pilotage d'investissement, run as a managed project.

What you receive

Three deliverables, in sequence.

D-01

Strategic diagnostic

Where the operation or the opportunity actually stands — capacity, technical fit, cost structure and the constraints worth solving. The honest read before any money is committed.

D-02

Business case

The investment framed for a decision — capex and operating economics, scenarios, payback and the risks named — structured to stand up in front of a board or a lender.

D-03

Market study

The demand the line is being built for — category sizing, competitive terrain and channel reality across the African and Asian markets in scope, with the assumptions made explicit.

/ How engagements run

A standalone mandate, or a layer on a formulation project.

The consulting can stand alone — a diagnostic, a business case, a market study — or sit on top of a formulation engagement, so the recipe and the investment behind it are decided together. Every mandate is scoped and governed as a managed project to PMP® standards. Every conversation runs under NDA on request, and your strategy stays yours — we name neither our customers nor our producers.
