Automobile & Assembly
For drivers, the automobile industry has never looked this good. Cars are better and cheaper (relatively) than they’ve never ever been. But for manufacturers, under relentless cost pressures and facing rising demands, the outlook is less rosy.

Financial and insurance
For an industry that's about managing risk, many business leaders in the insurance and financial sector have not addressed the main risk they face: sinking into mediocrity. Increasingly, investors are rewarding only distinctive players who provide high levels of transactional excellence. avanzalis' insurances and banking practice serves a wide variety of clients in commercial banking, investment banking / brokerage, asset management, consumer finance, securities, insurance, and diversified financial services. We work on the key challenges our clients face today: from growth and industry consolidation to operational efficiency.

Telecomunications
Tremendous competition and overcapacity are pushing down prices for carriers. To overcome industry pressures, telecom leaders need to focus on core performance, understand customer segments, and develop strategies around the five forces shaping the industry.

Retail
Retailers and their suppliers comprise the world's largest industry and perhaps it’s most unpredictable: successful retailers have to learn to constantly adjust to people's buying habits, even in a recession. Yet retailing remains a fragmented business, based on millions of transactions in thousands of local outlets. Even with the consolidation of recent years, the industry is ripe for transformation.

 High Tech
In a time of rapid commoditization and a nearly infinite supply of low-cost attackers, where do High Tech executives look for competitive advantage? Innovation is key, but so too are gaining the highest levels of capital productivity while getting the most from operations and sales & marketing.

 Pharmaceutical
An era of continuous transformation for pharmaceutical and medical products companies is forcing business leaders to evolve more quickly. Issues such as consolidation, licensing, tapping the biotech pipeline, and evolving the sales force and distribution model will define which companies succeed and which won't.
