Driven by excellence. Led by empathy.
We are a global growth consultancy built on human values.
What we do
Growth strategy experts
CIL is a growth strategy consultancy. We help our clients identify opportunities, solve problems and build strategies for long-term success.
Why we’re different
People you want on your side
Rigorous but not rigid. Smart without the ego. An ambitious business powered by principled people. In a sector filled with jargon and jostling, this is what sets us apart.
We call it strategic empathy – combining sharp thinking with a desire to listen and understand.
Working with us
Listening harder, working smarter
We listen first, ask questions second, and dig deeper to uncover the details that make a difference.
That means every project is bespoke, shaped by an in-depth understanding of our clients and their worlds.
And our work cuts to the chase – no waffle – because it’s our job to make complex things clearer.
A culture that (actually) cares
When we say we want to be the best consultancy to work for, we mean it. Our culture is smart, supportive and social. We listen to each other and we have each other’s backs, from Intern to Partner. And we invest in our people properly, with learning and development programs that drive long-term careers.
“What impressed me most about CIL is the genuine culture of collaboration. It’s a place where people are driven by collective success, not individual agendas.
Better business, for good
We’re proud to be a certified B-Corp®. It shows we believe in doing the right thing – for our people, our clients and the world we operate in. But more than that, it proves our ongoing commitment to follow our words with action.
Environmental, social and governance
Diversity, equity and inclusion
Our offices
Local roots, global reach
CIL was founded in London, in 1986. Today, we have offices across Europe and the US. We’ll continue to expand. But we’ll never outgrow our values.
Senior team
Our experts stay close to the work
Our leaders drive our work and values. They bring deep sector knowledge and sharp technical skills to every project. And they don’t just oversee the work, they’re in it.
