Location strategies are multi-dimensional and complex, have profound effects on organizations, and require expertise on a large number of internal and external factors. KLG ensures success by providing a multidisciplinary team, applying an objective approach founded on sophisticated quantitative and analytical methods, customizing our process to the unique needs of every client, and optimizing the decision making process.

Multidisciplinary Team
Because of the complexity inherent to strategies for geographic change, KLG utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach that relies on a team of professionals with diverse but complementary expertise:

• Business and Industry Strategy
• Corporate Finance and Accounting
• Macro- and Micro-Economics
• Demographics and Sociology
• Geography
• Talent/Resource Strategy and Management
• Organizational Science

By applying these diverse talents, KLG ensures that our clients have access to all of the expertise necessary to creating, evaluating, and implementing world-class solutions.

Quantitative and Objective Approach
At the heart of this approach is a focus on utilizing quantitative and highly objective methodologies. All of our consultants are experts in statistics, mathematics, and finance. Our strategy options are all modeled and tested prior to clients making major commitments; the economic and operational impacts are all projected using sophisticated modeling tools. Location options are identified and evaluated using objective analytical methods – not just “gut” instinct and surface-level factors. Implementation plans and policy options are all tested using quantitative models. Negotiating strategies are developed based on thorough economic analyses that project what a client’s commitment would mean financially for a community; allowing us to derive maximum value from public sector incentives.

Customized Processes
Process is critical. Because of this, KLG emphasizes the need to provide every client with a customized approach. However, time is always of the essence, and KLG’s years of experience developing strategies in virtually every industry and geographic area ensures that our clients aren’t starting out having to wait for us to “reinvent the wheel.” For example, KLG has developed a number of general process frameworks that often works as conceptual process models in many situations and can provide a useful starting point. However, there are times that a specific client’s needs are so unique that an entirely new approach is necessary. KLG has always been able to “start from scratch” and quickly develop a totally original approach optimally suited to these challenging assignments.

Sophisticated Decision Making
Finally, strategies can’t translate into action without the ability to effectively support the decision-making process with facts and sophisticated analysis … KLG’s strategies consistently pass review at the highest levels of executive leadership and corporate boards. This is a result of being able to ensure that our clients have all of the decision-making tools required at their disposal.
