About

For a more sustainable world

We work towards economic, environmental, and societal sustainability in a variety of ways in the B2B industry sector. We conduct client projects that have concrete sustainability outcomes, or with clients whose solutions have a powerful influence on global sustainability. The segments we work in naturally have a big influence on global sustainability. Finally, we work with strategy implementation, sales, and delivery, as well as financing of industrial and infrastructural investments – these are the best ways to have an impact!

Industries we focus on

Our mission

We want to lead and implement industrial investments in uncertain and emergent business environments. In some cases, this means that we need to really drive industrial ecosystem change with our clients. It is almost inevitable to always base our assignments on advanced analytics, in order for us to create meaning from dispersed sets of disconnected data. We also want to stay true to our business model, which means to excel in implementing academic research, and we firmly believe we are one of the few management consultants who are truly able to do this and bring their clients along for the journey. Last but not least, we want to be an attractive employer, to create a great team of people whose combined skills and drive are more than the sum of its parts. 

What does it mean to be research-based?

Our consulting work is based on scientific research. We strive to create actionable knowledge and transfer research results to practical application.

We work closely with world-leading universities like Stanford University, Kellogg School of Management, and University College London, as well as the University of Agder in Norway, and in Finland Åbo Akademi University.

Governance

The PBI Foundation is our main owner. The foundation was established in 2001 in order to offer a multidisciplinary home for the research and consulting activities at PBI Research Institute.
