How we approach every engagement
Scoping Conversation
We listen carefully to understand the situation before proposing a scope or fee.
Observation & Data
Direct observation and structured data collection from your people and processes.
Analysis & Framing
We synthesise findings and frame recommendations with supporting evidence.
Delivery & Handover
Final presentation plus documentation your team can implement. 30-day follow-on support included.
Solution 01
Distribution Strategy Review
A structured four-week engagement that maps your current distribution channels, evaluates partner relationships, and assesses logistics arrangements. Consultants analyse distribution economics — cost-per-unit-moved, channel margin structures, fill rates, and partner dependency — to identify where restructuring would deliver the greatest operational or financial improvement.
Suited for consumer goods manufacturers, wholesale businesses, and industrial distributors operating in Hong Kong and accessing markets across the Pearl River Delta or broader Southeast Asia.
- Channel performance mapping — cost, margin, service level by channel
- Partner relationship assessment and dependency risk review
- Logistics cost and structure analysis
- Restructured distribution model recommendations with implementation guidance
Solution 02
Family Office Advisory
Strategic counsel for families in Hong Kong and Singapore transitioning from informal asset management toward structured family office operations. Engagements address governance design, investment mandate development, next-generation preparation, and operational structuring — typically delivered as an ongoing retainer with quarterly review milestones.
Initial scoping and diagnostic work takes four weeks. Ongoing retainers are structured around quarterly reviews, with ad hoc availability between sessions for time-sensitive decisions.
- Governance framework and charter development
- Investment mandate design and oversight structuring
- Next-generation preparation and involvement planning
- Operational structuring for administrative functions
Solution 03
Lean Operations Workshop
A three-day facilitated workshop that introduces lean thinking disciplines to your operations team — waste identification, value stream mapping, and the foundations of continuous improvement. The workshop is preceded by direct observation visits to your operation, ensuring the content is grounded in what your team actually does rather than generic examples.
Post-workshop, the gantwellm team remains available for four weeks of implementation support as your team applies the framework to a selected process area. Suited for manufacturing, logistics, and service operations seeking to build an internal improvement capability.
- Pre-workshop observation visits to your operation
- Three-day facilitated workshop (waste ID, value stream mapping, CI disciplines)
- Workshop documentation and toolkits for internal reference
- Four-week implementation support post-workshop
