Quality People CVA hires a select group of high calibre people to work as part of our team. Whether Partner or Consultant, the CVA team strive for excellence in every aspect of their work.
Value Flow CVA, as our name suggests, has always been focused on 'value' and management's ability to create 'value' for the business.
Sustainable Growth CVA understands that sustainability is not just a risk management issue, but also a potential source of value creation and strategic advantage.
Locations CVA has 16 offices around the globe to service our clients in every part of the world - Europe, Asia, Pacific, the Americas, Africa.
CVA was founded in 1987 with a unique proposition in management consulting - to help a select number of CEO's manage the "Value Flow" of their respective businesses and thereby realise maximum value for all stakeholders in both the long and short term.
Our success has stemmed from a differentiated approach in what we do and how we do it.
Whilst other consulting firms view businesses as assets to maximise, we have a Customer Centric approach where the focus is on maximising value to the customer and minimising the assets needed to do it.
Firstly, like our competitors, we recruit the highest Quality of People but at CVA we ensure each client receives the benefit of our Partners' experience through the High Level of Partner Involvement in each case.
Secondly, we view ourselves as not just providers of people (however bright they are) but Providers of Methodologies that are proven frameworks to address some of the most complex issues that face business today.
Thirdly we leverage these frameworks through a Joint Team Approach by involving and working with our client's own staff.
Finally, the size and international nature of CVA's business has produced a Global Mindset in how we work. Each office is constantly sharing the lessons they have learnt for the benefit of all in the network.

CVA Partners get their hands dirty and are an integral part of the consulting team on any assignment. Their hands-on approach and extensive front-line experience provides an invaluable foundation for delivering solutions to our clients, as well as providing consultants with the opportunity to work closely with the most senior people within the CVA network.
Providers of Methodologies
CVA has a toolbox of methodologies that are used as a framework to solve our clients difficult problems. They are not a "black-box" or pro-forma that will produce a "me-too" strategy, but rather a systematic approach that provides a structure from which creativity and new ideas can thrive. Many of our methodologies have been used across numerous industries and countries as the central tenets of framing the problem and working towards a solution are common across borders and industry boundaries.
Joint Team Approach
CVA prefers to work in a joint team approach, i.e. consultants and client staff working in collaboration on all aspects of the project. Experience shows this is the most productive environment to nurture and grow people in the client organisation and ensure that a full knowledge transfer occurs. It also provides a strong base to move a project from strategy and analysis through to implementation.
Global Mindset
Having a Global Mindset is actively promoted within the CVA network, with free movement of staff between international offices. This ensures that learning from one country is quickly disseminated to others and engenders a sense of identity throughout CVA. CVA clients benefit from this approach as best practice is observed not just between industries, but also across international boundaries.
