Owls Consulting Group is a partner to all organizations moving forward with their mission.

With the global situation going under significant changes, the definition of “value” is shifting in both global business and our lives and the global competition based on GDP (Gross Domestic Product) or Q (Quality) C (Cost) D (Delivery) is no longer applicable nor desirable for us.

Even when we have already realised that raising our standard of living does not necessary lead to our wellbeing and happiness, “economic rationality” still is crucial for the business and civil sectors.

Corporations, governments, academic institutions, and the social sector (NPO/NGO) must come together to generate collective value and mutually enhance each other in order to solve societal issues and build significant businesses. This will be the way to redesign a new “economic rationality.”

In these unpredictable, unprecedented times, Owls Consulting Group will continue to stand as a professional group that leverages intelligence, takes a panoramic view to structurally understand challenges with the deep understanding of rules and technology, and embodies competitive strategies when necessary.

Owls Consulting Group will always stand alongside our clients.
