Global Advisors

Strategy consulting built on quantified analysis is the offer of a Johannesburg firm that calls itself AI-native. Global Advisors works on analytical recommendations for clients whose decisions carry significant uncertainty, aiming to reduce that uncertainty, improve decisions and achieve results that can be measured. The firm frames its work around clearly prioritised choices that a client can act on. It holds that clients need analytical answers rather than general advice when the outcome is hard to predict.

The firm says it uses advanced predictive analytics to build strategies that let clients make calculated decisions, and that it also helps clients turn strategy into adaptive capability and capacity.

Portfolio, growth and deal work

The firm's client work covers defining optimal business portfolios in line with investor expectations, and deciding how a company can win against its competitors. It helps companies understand their core business, reach full potential and grow into adjacent markets. Deal work includes mergers and acquisitions, due diligence, deal structuring and balance sheet optimisation.

Data science behind the strategy

Its digital data analytics unit is described as bringing twenty years of quantitative and data science experience. The unit supports strategy delivery and faster implementation through large data processing, analytics, data visualisation and digital skills. It builds digital proofs of concept, which the firm says act as an accelerator for its own consultants and for clients.

How the firm works

The firm says it aims to improve strategic decision-making measurably by setting clearly prioritised choices, reducing uncertainty, winning support across an organisation and partnering with clients to deliver. Its site also publishes strategy content, including a podcast on rethinking SWOT analysis in the context of AI and a note on why strong returns are not always enough. It says consultants join on the basis of fit with its values, culture and vision.
