How is Scipio different and “next-gen”

Built around what
clients actually need.

Senior attention

More senior attention for your project.

Senior advisors work directly on your project, with time dedicated to your priorities.

Up to 100% of your senior advisor’s week

Senior expertise at work
Why this works

The familiar friction

In a partner-led sales model, revenue targets can divide a partner’s attention across engagements while junior teams do much of the day-to-day work.

The Scipio model

At Scipio, you agree on a named senior lead and their time commitment upfront, up to their full workweek. Senior expertise is part of delivery, not only the pitch.

Your named senior lead works on the problem with you, alongside the operators and specialists the work needs.

More value from your fees

Pay for expertise, not excess overhead.

A broad permanent cost base sits behind the fees you pay.

What you fund at Scipio

80% of our advisors work independently.

Your project activates the team; a lean core handles project admin.

Experienced people join for your mandate, without a large permanent bench.

Your control

Keep control every week.

Review progress together and choose whether to continue, adjust or stop.

Weekly fees with the option to stop each week

The next step is yours.
Why this works

The familiar friction

A large, multi-phase commitment can make it harder to change course when priorities shift or the work is not delivering what you need.

The Scipio model

We agree on weekly team rates and the option to stop each week under the agreed terms. You can see the next commitment before making it, and we have to keep earning your confidence.

Review progress against the agreed outcome before committing to the next week.

¹ Compared with major strategy consulting firms; scope and team composition affect the comparison. Senior allocation and weekly terms are agreed for your engagement.

Before we begin

Know what stands
behind your team.

Meet the people, understand the setup and agree on what delivery means.

Quality

Will I get the same standard of thinking?

You can meet the proposed lead and discuss relevant work before committing. We select for strategic judgment, industry depth and delivery experience, as well as a tier-1 background.

The team draws on a shared knowledge base, benchmarks, research and expert networks. AI tools support the analysis; senior advisors own the recommendation.

One firm

Is this a firm or a network of freelancers?

You engage Scipio & Partners as one firm, with a named lead and one coordinated project team. We select and bring the advisors together around your mandate.

The team works in a shared project environment with research, benchmarks, expert-network access and AI tools. The firm’s infrastructure supports the whole engagement.

Confidentiality

How is sensitive information handled?

Confidentiality, access and data-handling requirements are agreed before the work begins. Your requirements also determine which AI tools and data can be used.

We work discreetly with top management. Client names and engagement details are not published without permission.

Expertise

Do you have people who understand my industry?

We start with your mandate and identify the industry, functional and technical experience it requires.

Our curated network brings together alumni from leading strategy firms, experienced operators and technical specialists across industries. We discuss comparable experience with you before proposing the team.

Delivery

Who turns the recommendation into results?

Strategy advisors work alongside operators and engineers when the mandate requires it. Implementation responsibilities are explicit from the start.

Agree on the outcome, accountable owners and the work your own team will take forward.

Collaboration

Work with existing advisors

We lead Scipio mandates and take defined roles within wider programs, coordinating with your existing advisors.

Advisors in our network also contribute to assignments led by McKinsey, BCG and Bain, with referrals flowing in both directions.
