“ We have a broad range of consulting capabilities but there are always areas we don ’ t want to invest in or dive deep into . It ’ s a symbiotic ecosystem really , for example we have a network of software partners that provide the enabling , empowering technologies below some of our core capabilities . In the end , we want to authentically do what ’ s best for our clients so it ’ s critical to know which partners to work with and how best to leverage each other ’ s skills .”
