Who we are:

At BIP, we are trusted by the world’s leading organisations to design and deliver next generation business models that deliver increased volume and quality.

The world is changing faster than ever. Shifting demands, business models, competition, inflation and supply chains are just some of the challenges facing business today. All of this means organisations need to choose their partners with more care than ever before. Partners with a common purpose to create a sustainable legacy.

We are problem solvers, market makers, creative disruptors, and future proofers. We are listeners, learners and collaborators, committed to working with our clients and partners to create maximum value for the long-term.

Design to deliver:

We’re doers, we are makers, we are not Power Point writers... Everything we do is aimed at affecting a material change within a defined timeline, and we combine thoughts and actions to ensure it has the greatest impact in the real world.

Ideate, test and learn:

We are open. We work alongside our clients, their partners and everyone else needed to achieve the intended outcome. Working with us is exciting, frenetic and occasionally demanding, but it is never lonely.

Knowledge transfer:

We aim to make our clients independent. All our projects have a dual objective: to deliver against an outcome, and to equip our clients to keep the activity running on their own. It offers them greater value, and it allows us to focus on where we can make the greatest difference next.
