Strategy Grounded in Engineering Reality
We exist because the world needs strategic advisory that acknowledges physical reality.

Traditional consulting models assume resources are always available, geopolitical conditions remain stable, technology flows freely, and supply chains operate reliably. When these assumptions break—and they're breaking with increasing frequency—strategies built on them shatter.
This isn't a failure of analysis. It's a failure to account for reality.
PRISM was founded on a simple insight: strategy must account for the physical, geopolitical, technological, and operational realities that traditional consultants ignore.
We bring engineering discipline to boardroom strategy. While traditional consultants optimize spreadsheets, we stress-test plans against the constraints that actually determine whether your business survives. Our differentiation comes from our connection to Group-IPS—we understand what works when theory meets reality.
PRISM is a subsidiary of Group-IPS, backed by 30+ years building and operating industrial systems worth billions across three continents. Our advisors have direct experience with the physical, operational, and supply chain realities that most consultants only study in theory.
Important: We are independent strategic advisors—not an EPCM sales channel. But our view of reality comes from 30+ years of execution experience. That's what makes our advice grounded, not theoretical.
PRISM is a subsidiary of Group-IPS, one of Europe's leading industrial engineering and construction firms with 30+ years of execution experience.
Group-IPS has delivered billions of euros in industrial projects across chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and infrastructure. When PRISM advises on energy constraints or supply chain physics, it's grounded in 30+ years of real project experience—not academic theory.
Three continents of project delivery gives PRISM access to on-the-ground intelligence about regional capabilities, material availability, and logistics realities that desk research cannot capture.
When PRISM stress-tests an industrial strategy, we can bring in Group-IPS domain specialists who actually design and build these systems. This technical depth ensures our scenarios reflect engineering reality, not wishful thinking.
PRISM operates as an independent advisory firm. We are not a sales channel for Group-IPS engineering services. Our recommendations are driven by your strategic needs—if execution support is needed, Group-IPS is an option, not a requirement.
The Bottom Line: PRISM exists because Group-IPS recognized that clients need strategic advisory before they need execution services. Too many strategies fail because assumptions were never stress-tested against physical reality. We fix that gap.
Our principles for delivering reality-grounded strategic advisory
We start with physical constraints—energy, materials, logistics—because they're non-negotiable. Financial engineering can't overcome thermodynamics. Our scenarios respect the laws of physics first, economics second.
We don't just identify vulnerabilities—we quantify their financial impact. Boards need to know: if this disruption happens, how much shareholder value is at risk? Our models answer that question with rigor.
Traditional risk analysis treats domains in isolation. We model how disruptions cascade: geopolitical shocks trigger energy constraints, which expose cyber vulnerabilities, which break supply chains. Reality doesn't respect silos.
We help you find the optimal balance. Not every resilience investment makes sense. We identify which buffers and redundancies actually buy you operational continuity and which waste capital.
Strategy fails when leadership teams aren't aligned on priorities. Our workshops ensure executives share the same understanding of risks and trade-offs before capital gets committed.
We translate complex analysis into clear, actionable recommendations. No academic jargon. No black-box models. Just straightforward answers to the question: does this strategy work if conditions change?
