2 Bridging The Gaps Boxley Group consultants help to bridge the gaps that can exist between the four cornerstones of a business - Strategy, Operations, Commercial and Technology facilitating collaboration to achieve common goals. We add value by recognizing important differences in the functions and viewpoints of each cornerstone while continuously focusing on alignment to deliver the best result.

Our energy experts represent extensive experience in the full energy value chain: upstream, midstream and marketing, downstream, power and alternative energy. Our focus is working with clients as trusted advisors to identify and solve the dynamic challenges of the energy industry. We have a proven track record in a range of client needs: from strategic advisory services to identifying and correcting non-functional processes; from leading complex projects to recommending difficult decisions and leading sustainable change. We expertly and efficiently scope the challenge and execute an agreed plan to deliver exceptional value for our clients. Energy companies compete in a sector characterized by increasing environmental and regulatory challenges, volatile commodity prices, complex entity relationships, and unpredictable supply and demand dynamics. In this environment, many energy companies continue to struggle with obstacles that stifle efficiencies and enable change-resistant cultures. These obstacles can include the lack of clear business strategy, inadequate talent management, ineffective processes, and poor adoption and application of technology. Reward, however, is given to those that operate efficiently and respond decisively to the unexpected. If your company, business, or division lacks the resources to fully address these challenges, it is time to consider the value of engaging professional assistance.

4 BOXLEY GROUP: WHO WE ARE Engagement Perspective and Leadership Team Our Engagement Perspective FOCUS ON DELIVERING VALUE One of our core tenets is a client-centric focus on delivering value. We only enter engagements where we are confident that our work will produce tangible results with significant business value. Our understanding the nature and context of your business is paramount as we analyze problems and create innovative solutions. Without the right focus and energy on delivering value, even the best advice and plans can end up gathering dust. For us, delivery means tangible value and results, not evaluate and propose. We use a front-end loaded fit for purpose approach to plan and execute initiatives. This results-oriented method significantly improves the successful delivery and sustainability of expected outcomes. We expertly and efficiently scope the challenge and execute against an agreed plan to deliver exceptional value. We approach our work in phases and hold regular reviews with clients to ensure the supporting business case continues to hold true. Our focus on value means that there is no ambiguity about the results we are aiming to produce. CROSS-FUNCTIONAL TEAM WORK We work side-by-side with our clients. By working together as cross-functional teams, our engagements develop ownership at an early stage, and deliver solutions that are specific to each client s circumstances. We believe that this collaborative and flexible approach is the best way to make constructive change happen in large organizations and, more importantly, the only way to ensure sustainability. ORG ANIZATIONAL CHANGE AGENT Projects and initiatives create change by their very nature. Since change is unavoidable, organizations need to resolve how to successfully implement and sustain change; however, most organizations don t have an effective change management capability. As a result, over 50% of change initiatives fail. As outside advisors and experienced change practitioners with a track record of success, we bring energy and creativity to drive the discovery and planning process from an independent change management oriented perspective. As change agents, we work with our clients to assemble effective teams and deploy change strategies and tactics that deliver desired adoption and results
