Founded in 1990, The Berkeley Partnership is an independent management consultancy. It has over 50 full-time consultants who work across the full business change lifecycle, from strategy to delivery. Reflecting recent growth in the sector, Berkeley's e-commerce consultants are increasingly helping leading FTSE 100 organisations to develop their e-commerce strategy.
Unlike many niche strategy consulting firms, Berkeley is well placed to help clients to understand both the technical and operational considerations that need to be taken into account when formulating an e-commerce strategy.
E-commerce strategy is high on the agenda for many organisations, whether they are new start-ups or established businesses. Berkeley's e-commerce consultants offer the "pure" business strategy services to e-commerce departments that strategy consulting firms traditionally specialise in e.g. market and competitor research and analysis, scenario and proposition development, financial modelling, portfolio development (including prioritisation), organisation design and resource assessment.
However, Berkeley's differentiator is the wealth of experience the firm has in shaping, mobilising and delivering e-commerce programmes and projects, including customer facing online propositions, online portals, and IT platform selection and deployment.

I recently completed my first retail assignment, an e-commerce project for M&S, which was also my first pure business strategy assignment. Although new territory for me, setting the project up with a small combined client and Berkeley team enabled us to build on our collective experiences and deliver an aggressive five year plan, signed off by the board. Two years ago I wouldn’t have envisaged working in such a high profile role, or even in this industry, with this level of project responsibility and client trust
