The challenge: A team needed a defensible view of which regional manufacturers could enter defence supply chains, in time for a senior meeting.
What we did: Screened the list and placed every firm on one chart of opportunity against readiness, with the case for each, within a day.
The result: The work opened defence conversations with senior leaders, and the approach was repeated for another region.
