PONTARLIER.

ACCELERATION, NOT RESUSCITATION.

Pontarlier works with organisations that already have momentum, exceptional people and ambition.

What they have already built could be worth substantially more.

Seoul, 2000, “I do not shift. I add.”

In Seoul in 2000, I asked Chairman Lee of Kolon Group, 44 years old at the time, whether he was shifting his brick-and-mortar conglomerate into e-business.

He kept silent for a while, then laughed. “I do not shift. I add.” We both laughed. The ice was broken.

Twenty-six years later, I still think about that answer. The strongest organisations don't necessarily need to become something else. Sometimes they need to discover what they can add.

GROWTH THAT REINFORCES GROWTH.

New engines of growth should accelerate existing momentum.

Strengthen competitive advantage. Increase strategic control.

Greater shareholder value.

MUTUAL AMBITION.

Your vision. Our acceleration.

More valuable together than apart.

Open the right doors.
Close the wrong ones early.

Prove the opportunity locally. Then organise, mobilise and incentivise the teams and ecosystems to generalise it globally.
