Why WP&C

Companies need fresh perspective to navigate today’s complex world

Co-founded by experienced consultants and bestselling authors Stephen Wilson and Andrei Perumal, Wilson Perumal & Company was launched specifically to help companies compete in a complex world.

Measurable results

We are laser-focused on client value and results, and have a track record to match. Read about our typical client results and review some of our case studies, which reflect some of our work across different industries. Complexity leads to profit concentration—in other words, for many organizations, a significant potential opportunity. WP&C brings the experience and methodology to unlock this opportunity, often yielding a 20  40% improvement in EBITDA.

Mountain Range

Complexity specialists

For a decade, WP&C has been helping companies tackle issues of profitability, risk and growth in a complex environment—this is our focus. Co-founded by renowned experts Stephen Wilson and Andrei Perumal, WP&C is not only a practitioner but also a thought-leader. We have published two books on the topic: Waging War on Complexity Costs and Growth in the Age of Complexity. Given our focus on complexity, we have the most cycles of experience per employee of any consultancy out there on this topic. This translates into faster insights, the foresight to avoid the ‘rookie’ pitfalls, and ultimately better results.

Proprietary toolbox

No other firm has spent more time developing tools and frameworks for addressing complexity than WP&C. As we partner with clients, we uncover new customer needs and challenges which feed our R&D pipeline. This has yielded powerful—and unique—methodologies such as Square Root Costing, which helps companies account for complexity costs and understand the true profitability of the products, services, customers, and so on; Profit Scaling Curves, a tool for assessing the opportunity for scale in a given segment; and yardstyck® Cultural Assessment, a methodology for measuring organizational culture.

Easy to work with

This is what our clients will tell you when you talk with them. Consensus is that no one likes working with consultants! We are changing that. We recognize that serving our clients is a privilege and responsibility, and our values permeate all we do. It takes a collaborative effort to win in a complex environment, and this spirit of partnership is common to all our engagements. No surprise, then, that more than 80% of our clients choose to work with us again.
