Nov22526 Management Consulting Awards 2023 | Wealth & Finance Aug23619 Best Mobility Consultancy 2023 - Portugal Operating from its headquarters in Braga throughout the country since 2018, Prismaat is comprised of a professional, experienced, and multidisciplinary team which can handle the entire relocation process to Portugal. Boasting more than 390 client accounts from across 60 nationalities, Prismaat keeps its clients 100% satisfied. With a staggering average user score of 4.9/5 from almost 150 reviews, the company has unlocked the key to industry success and providing the highest calibre of customer experience. Portugal is a beautiful country, possessing almost 900 years of rich history and culture, with a bright future ahead of it. It is an incredibly inviting space, and with more than 800km boasting some of the most popular beaches in all of Europe and a mild climate all year round, it is perfect for those looking for a change of pace and breathtaking scenery. The country is not just limited to its coastline, and in winter, thrill seekers can enjoy the ski resorts in Serra de Estrela, this in addition to a host of castles, natural parks, and protected landscapes. In addition to this, Portugal boasts infrastructure that is up there with some of the best in Europe, particularly the roads and airports. Health care and public education is also on par with the rest of Europe, providing an attractive prospect for those looking to settle in the country. Many citizens also speak English, and with Portugal providing one of the best quality of life rates in Europe and being just as highly ranked on lists of the safest countries globally, people are drawn in by the friendly, available, and affable nature of its citizens. For those looking to start a new life in Portugal, it is Prismaat’s mission through its mobility consultancy to reach out and shine a light in order to guide the way for its clients, assisting in either the process of opening of a business in a new country, relocating a family, or partaking in any kind of fruitful investments. What guides Prismaat to help clients achieve their goals is a series of core values, which the company holds dear and is constantly striving to not only meet but exceed, providing the best service for clientele and fabricating an internal culture of happiness, teamwork, and success. The first of these is trust, it is important for clients to remain constantly assured that their process is being handled in a professional and trustworthy manner. This links with multi-tasking, with the firm determined to offer a complete package in order to handle the needs of all clients, these services are of course all provided by trained and experienced professionals in their respective fields. Organisation is also key, and there is a determined sense to provide proper, true, and clear information along every stage of the process. Finally, a choice combination of empowerment and hope leads the company to champion success and look to the future bright-eyed, having the courage to work towards prosperity for all. Prismaat adopts a three-point strategy to its management consultancy for mobile services, with the first of these being the offering of investment mobility services (real estate, business, and golden visas), which are designed to directly benefit investors who are looking to broaden their income and improve their portfolio in the area of European Union trading. The second area of focus is entrepreneurship mobility (business creation and development, inclusive of all legal aspects and covering a host of avenues from branding and marketing through to business advice), which is applicable for entrepreneurs and digital nomads who are aiming to either establish, or further develop, their business across the European Union through a base in Portugal. Finally, the company also specialises in the area of individual mobility (support for visa applications across all aspects of the relocation process), which is a service perfect for individuals or families who are looking to relocate to Portugal, perhaps settling down to enjoy retirement, progress into further study, advance a career, or start anew in a different part of the world. In order to remain at the forefront of the industry, the team always stays atop of market trends and monitors updates in the sector. With mobility being highly regulated in Portugal, including how it is allowed to be advertised, it is important for the team to follow the rules and keep in line with the changing paths that are settled by the government. This is achieved by following up daily with any new laws and researching the competition, as well as establishing partnerships which further cover the business’ scope and support its clients. One key example of success is the fact that the company is current leading in the Digital Nomad Visa market, having fully embraced this system and prepared for its implementation for almost a year ahead of time. By providing the upmost transparency to clientele regarding the company’s process and industry updates, Prismaat has secured its status as a different service provider in the sector, refusing to gloss over the details and present dealings as easy and immutable, like many other companies who are just focused on securing a deal. While it may be true that sometimes clients just want to hear good news that is beneficial and pleasing to them, Prismaat believes in an honest approach where truth conquers all, and ultimately this will lead to an increased sense of trust and loyalty from customers in the long run, who will demonstrably be able to see that the business has their best interests at heart. For a while now, Prismaat has been planning on having its own digital platform/app in order to further streamline its processes, Prismaat S.A. is a Portugal-based consulting for mobility company, offering a complete package of services from an array of professionals, with the purpose of allowing people to move to Portugal as smoothly as possible. The company services clients who are in search of visas and residence permits for business purposes, investments, and schools, among others. It is the vision of Prismaat to nurture a multicultural, free, truthful, and just world, helping it to grow and prosper on a planet that is seemingly becoming increasingly divided. We catch up with COO/CMO Bruno Viana, to find out more about how the business strives to create a better world for its clients.

9. making day-to-day operations leaner, clearer and faster. Although the company already uses third party providers to this end, it aims to have an all-in-one solution that will bring everything together, including licensing to other companies that work in the same area of business. Regarding future development, Prismaat aims to expand its services to include three more countries in addition to Portugal, providing more opportunities for expansion among existing clients and developing relationships with prospective clients who are interested in either just Portugal, or combined solutions. Also, despite the firm already developing successful real estate actions, it aims to further expand this to reflect a bigger percentage in the future portfolio of the business. Moreover, specifically within the marketing area of Prismaat’s services, there is also a drive to continue with the development of a new, unique partnership focusing on research and analysis. Even as Prismaat continues to grow and develop, its honest, client-centric approach causes it to remain grounded in its values, delivering exceptional services and providing fantastic customer support. The company remains humble in its successes, as Bruno details, “We’d like to thank our partners and clients for being part of this adventure and pushing us to grow every day.” Contact Details Contact: Bruno Viana Company: Prismaat S.A.

Nov22526 Management Consulting Awards 2023 | Wealth & Finance Sep23004 Most Client-Focused Leadership Development Coaching Business 2023 CEO & Founder, Anders BE Eklund says, “We are mentoring and coaching leaders to harness and utilise their personal and unique talents; their IP, EI and valuable life and work experience to propel them forward towards their professional best. Leaders need to be able to inspire and motivate their workforce with confidence successfully, but also in a sustainable manner. “There was a moment, years ago, when it dawned on me that, really, that is the only key to a more organised, more responsible and thus more efficient and better world. Today’s leaders face complex and multifaceted difficulties, from navigating the intricacies of global crises to addressing evolving societal expectations. The demand for excellent leadership has never been greater.” A study conducted by “Global Leadership Forecast 2018” tells us that many leadership training programs fail to create actual or desired results despite ploughing down multi-digits of billions yearly. Geneswiss Consultancy has recognised a critical need for a genuinely tailor-made 1-to-1 mentoring & coaching approach to address this worldwide dilemma. A strategy and systems were born, tools that incorporate neuroscientific insights and approach. With their client-focused way of working, Geneswiss Consultancy transforms and empowers the leaders of our future already today. STRONG AND AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP IS THE KEY During his 25-year-long international corporate career, Anders had witnessed first-hand how damaging broken and limping leadership chains can be. Somehow, very widely, it had been forgotten that behind a successful business, there has to be a thriving and engaged workforce. Truly, the employees are the lifeblood and bones of any company. Anders elaborates, “It was obvious that the leaders are not asked the deepgoing difficult, but oh! so important questions: “Who are you, really? What is your purpose? What are your values?” To be an excellent and effective leader, one needs to be capable of leading oneself first before successfully leading someone else.” This realisation of his many years ago led to the birth of Geneswiss Consultancy. Today, Geneswiss Consultancy helps leaders worldwide to find that enlightenment - to become these so desperately and widely needed excellent leaders. Geneswiss Consultancy is an International Leadership Development firm located in Switzerland. By utilising their selfdeveloped and unique “Leadership2success” programs, their purpose is to transform leaders, teams, and their organisations into world-class legacy-makers. Executive Leadership Mentor & Coach Anders BE Eklund has made it his personal life purpose to polish, empower and guide leaders (on different levels) worldwide to succeed in their respective roles and lives sustainably. Anders harnesses his broad engineering and leadership experience and impressive corporate career for this purpose. There is no doubt that this truly is his calling and purpose in life. He lights up when he says, “It gives me immense pleasure and gratitude to know that what I am now doing will remarkably elevate not only my direct clients, but also their management teams, and so, whole companies. It is also hugely important to me to create even larger cause-consequence scenarios when such positive ripple effects seep also into those people’s families, friends and through them, into wider communities. We all are connected.” “PRIMUS MOTOR” - WORKFORCE HAS TO BE RUN LIKE AN ENGINE With his engineering background, Anders knows that a big engine needs a good mechanic. Someone who understands what this engine is supposed/expected to produce and why. A mechanic who knows the purpose and function of every part and piece. To whom it is clear what this engine needs in order to work smoothly and with optimal efficiency, and who has a sensitive ear to every abnormal sound or behaviour of the engine and has the capacity to readily and in a timely manner spring into action for required adjustments. Anders is using this metaphor to explain that, in the same way, every successful company needs a devoted “mechanic.” Aka. a CEO, a leader, who is capable of building and nursing his/her company every day with care, with sensitivity and authenticity, but also with a strong yet fair hand. To be the drive an “primus motor” and the front figure of the company. Geneswiss Consultancy creates such excellent leaders. Anders shares, “Our sole purpose and – I want to add – immense honour, is to work with clients who are eager to grow, eradicate bottlenecks, and convert obstacles and hardships into useful As a leader, you will have lot of weight on your shoulders and it can be tricky to find the help you truly need. Geneswiss Consultancy mentors and coaches leaders so that they can succeed even more than ever before, delivering a brighter future for themselves and their teams. We learn more from CEO & Founder Anders BE Eklund as Geneswiss Consultancy wins a title in the Management Consulting Awards 2023. “Understanding the people who you lead is wisdom. Understanding yourself as a leader is enlightenment ” – Anders BE Eklund

11. information and consequent progress. Sometimes, it means digging really deep into personal traits, or even going down to the existential constructions of the company. Situations that are best cleared out either on 1-to-1 sessions or together with keypersons of the management.” Anders continues, “In our leadership programs, neuroscientific insights and understanding, and emotional intelligence are the backbone. We help our clients and their organisations create holistically brain-charged environments. Environments that elevate engagement, performance, work satisfaction and ultimately the overall productivity, results and well-being. He continues, “Leaders are not born, nor does a manager title equip one with leadership skills. All leaders are made. It is important for us all to remember, despite whatever new technology is created, that we people are not machines. We are humans with our basic needs.” Anders continues, “We encourage all leaders to remember that leadership is hard work and word “simple” in my quote, means treating others as you want to be treated. Everything is connected. One thing always affects another. “One-Company”- thinking is the umbrella and everything, every person and system under it will directly or indirectly affect the results. Whether seen as money in or out, or general well-being of the company.” USP - A CLIENT-FOCUSED LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS Anders says, “Every client relationship is different. We believe that the only way to conduct leadership development effectively is to be utterly clientfocused. It is our niche and our USP as a small and very agile company to offer tailor-made mentoring and coaching. The first step is to clarify the status quo and the client’s current needs. Together with the client, we build a package consisting of suitable and desired elements fitted to an agreed timeline.” Geneswiss Consultancy fully focuses on addressing real needs and adding true value, and thereby, they want to create content and happy and very successful clients. Never forgetting those positive ripple effects! PURPOSE, VISION, AND CORE VALUES OF GENESWISS CONSULTANCY Anders has a solid, honest first-hand insight into most occurring scenarios in working in different corners of the world. He has witnessed excellent, but also less successful leadership. Eventually, he wanted to put into good use everything that he had learned, tested, experienced and had come to elevate. So, seven years ago, Anders came to find his true calling and purpose professionally, as he set out on a journey to change the world for the better and Geneswiss Consultancy was born. Anders explains, “Our company vision and aim is to influence and impact positively the lives of 10 million people by creating better leaders. It is always about the ripple effect. Water always finds its way forward, so do improvements. The foundation on which Geneswiss Consultancy stands is built of its Core Values: Transparency, Trust, and Respect. “And exactly in that order”, Anders adds, “Being a trusted client-focused leadership development business is our calling and passion.” Anders finalises, “I can honestly say that today, I love my job. I feel that now I actually can make a difference – and that, on a bigger scale than I ever had dreamt of.” Contact: Anders BE Eklund Company: Geneswiss Consultancy Web Address: geneswissconsultancy.com or leadership2success.com Photo credit: MarjaK “Great Leadership is Simple but Hard Work. ” – Anders BE Eklund

Nov22526 Management Consulting Awards 2023 | Wealth & Finance Best International Change Management Consultancy Firm 2023 - Canada Having dedicated her career to learning about the influence and impact of behaviour on overall business performance, Christine Bergeron established C3B in 2017 to provide businesses with valuable consulting and training services through which she could share her extensive expertise and experience. Alongside her role at C3B, she is also a lecturer in change management for the MBA of Management Consulting at the University of Quebec’s Business School. Since its inception, C3B has worked with a variety of organisations, ranging from start-ups to non-profits to large corporations, helping them reach their full potential. The firm collaborates closely with its clients, driving them to achieve their business goals. Based on the belief that a company’s performance and profit are determined by its people, C3B focuses on the human elements of organisations. C3B believes that change management is necessary for change of all kinds, not just for big projects. Every day, organisations make choices that affect their team in some way, whether it be a procedural change or something that impacts the work environment. C3B strives to help organisations understand the effects that poorly communicated decisions can have on people and their performance, then it equips them with the tools they need to mitigate these effects. Change management is multidimensional and impacts the evolving company ecosystem at all levels. C3B helps organisations develop the ability to better address the challenges they face and leverage the opportunities they encounter. Every client has different needs and goals, so it offers a complete range of services and expertise, encompassing everything from diagnostics to personalised accompaniment to training.

The firm believes that it is essential for the client and their team to own the process, from start to finish, since they are the ones who will live with the changes in the long run.

Over the years, C3B has received a multitude of positive feedback for its services. For example, Lionel Castellvi, Creator of Digital Experiences at Auguste+Louis, comments, “Through workshops and a personalised programme, we were able to clarify our needs and establish an adequate strategic plan for our business.

Nov22526 Management Consulting Awards 2023 | Wealth & Finance Aug23349 Leading Innovator in Social Impact Consulting 2023 - UK At Athari, there is a keen emphasis on creating client partnerships, with highly tailored support services and capacity development being provided across the board to nurture these relationships. The company aims for more than just the provision of services; instead, it fosters understanding and empowers clients to ensure impactful and sustainable changes are made. This approach is one rooted in collaboration, with the team fully aware of every client’s unique needs and the necessity for a bespoke approach to make a true difference. In addition to its consultancy services, the organisation is launching the Athari Academy in 2024, a resource hub which offers guides, courses, and toolkits to act as support for those beginning or making changes on their social impact journeys, from helping them with project design, through to implementation and measuring initiatives. The clientele that Athari works with comprises a range of non-profit organisations, social enterprises, and companies, with the common thread they possess being the drive to make key, meaningful changes on a global scale. The team works closely with its clients to fully understand their needs and challenges. It always provides personalised guidance and consultancy support services to help them reach their goals and achieve the desired impact. As an example of the stellar work the company does, earlier this year, the team collaborated with the non-profit organisation Health Water Life, helping them with the deployment of a successful pilot project on the Haitian border of the Dominican Republic. By assisting in operations navigation in a notoriously complex setting, LifeStraw water filtration bottles are now available to 1,500 people who otherwise would be without clean water. Athari also works with major non-profits such as CARE International UK on programme development processes, and the Clinton Development Initiative on operations related to the organisation’s transition from an initiative of the Clinton Foundation into a network of autonomous local nonprofits in East Africa. It is the aim of Athari to forever change the management consulting sector, a project which is currently underway as a result of the company transforming impact consulting. The approach the team adopts to social impact and charitable endeavours is one of systems thinking, which empowers organisations and individuals to create sustainable and impactful changes. Through a combination of tailored consultancy services and the use of ready resources straight from the upcoming Athari Academy, clients are provided with the ultimate guide for their impact journey, covering all the bases from ideation and implementation to evaluation. Traditionally, this sector is one dominated by non-profits, charities, and altruistic individuals, but the landscape is evolving. An increasing number of entities, such as those who work in the private sector, are eager to make positive contributions to the cause, either directly through their work or through CSR and ESG initiatives. Despite this desire, these entities often lack the required knowledge to get started, which is where Athari comes in. The company bridges the gap by taking the business world’s strategic mindset and implementing it within the humanitarian sector. Athari also recognises that while small charities and non-profit organisations lack the necessary resources to access the social impact teams available at large consulting firms, the need to support them is greater now than ever before. Driven by impact, not profit, the team are equally committed to assisting organisations large and small and further extending their reach to those unable to access services through the array of resources the Academy has to offer. Through its work, Athari yields demonstrable positive outcomes for clients and significantly contributes to advancements in the wider industry. As Gemma explains, “We are living proof that social impact consultancy is not just a viable market, but a thriving one that can stand independently, rather than being a supplementary stream within traditional consulting.” As a direct result of its successes, the company has been able to showcase the immense potential of Athari is a boutique social impact consultancy possessing a clear mission to drive positive change through the application of systematic and transformative thinking to a host of global challenges. With teams based in the UK and Colombia, staff members possess an array of diverse technical expertise in crucial fields, such as sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, women’s economic empowerment, and health & well-being, to name just a few.

It is this ethos which undoubtedly contributes to the award-worthy characteristic of Athari’s comprehensive and bespoke approach to client service.
