Business Management Review: Speials Magazine
Startups chasing EU grants, public agencies going green, and SMEs eyeing their next big move aren’t hypotheticals but decision-makers trying to make ideas fundable, sustainable, and scalable. For them, a consulting partner is a critical part of execution. That is why many turn to Eurokonsultantai Group. Based in Lithuania, Eurokonsultantai is a boutique consulting firm that works side-by-side with clients on financial strategy, grant readiness, and long-term project success. The firm brings deep experience in R&D applications and excels at matching real client needs with the right public funding. What sets Eurokonsultantai apart is its ability to understand the real stakes of every funding decision. Funding Strategy That Works In The Real World The company’s core strength lies in its systematic and well-tested approach to guiding clients through successful funding acquisition. About 80 per cent of its clients seek fundraising services. From the first meeting, it identifies what a business needs, aligning those goals with the right local or international grant calls. A tailored questionnaire helps extract the information needed to prepare the application, which is written, assembled, and often submitted on behalf of the client.
Leadership Consulting Firm
In the dynamic business landscape, organisations often have to redefine their business approaches and target markets for harmonious growth. This necessitates the exploration of executive talent beyond their customary boundaries. However, the inherent unfamiliarity of the terrain presents a challenge for recruiters in precisely identifying the most fitting candidates. Giudicelli International Executive Solutions (GIES), a leadership consulting firm, plays a pivotal role in sourcing, vetting, and securing professionals equipped to thrive amidst this evolving landscape. It maintains close collaboration with clients and candidates, exhibiting proficiency domestically in France and internationally around the globe. With a deep understanding of global markets, client needs and candidate profiles, GIES helps recruiters secure ideal matches for clients and candidates. Its expertise in executive search transcends borders and guides clients to discover talents spread across countries and cultures. “We seek out executives and meet people with varied, enriching professional backgrounds while acting as the link between the recruiters and their future talent,” says Alain Giudicelli, managing partner at GIES. Proficient in executive search, assessment of managerial skills, and organisational development, Giudicelli perfectly blends best practices learned from both industry giants and nimble SMEs with his innovative strategies. This approach helps identify the right talent while offering insights into organisational restructuring and strategic development.
Headhunting Recruitment Firm
In the demanding field of headhunting and employee recruitment, where employers often face immense pressure to meet lofty hiring targets quickly, the pursuit of excellence and a commitment to quality often takes a backseat. This leads to a significant decline in attention to detail, with many companies unwittingly prioritising profit over people. However, amidst this landscape, a notable exception exists—Zolliway. The company’s ethical recruitment philosophy manifests in treating its employees, clients, and candidates with deep respect. Especially when working with potential candidates, their career, personal preferences, and educational background are treated with the utmost regard. If a job opportunity doesn’t align with a candidate’s best interests—perhaps due to strain on their family life or a relocation that could disrupt their personal life—Zolliway does not hesitate to halt the process. As such, Zolliway’s hiring approach aligns with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs— going beyond the basic transactional aspects of employment and delving into the more nuanced psychological and self-actualisation needs of both companies and candidates. By focusing on building enduring relationships and delivering this value over time, Zolliway’s services help companies and candidates unlock their full potential and embrace their extraordinary talents.

EDITORIAL
Driving Strategic Growth with Business Consulting
As Europe stands at the intersection of digital transformation, geopolitical shifts, and sustainability imperatives, the role of business consulting has never been more pivotal. Many organisations are already embracing digital disruption and sustainability initiatives, yet the challenge lies in scaling these efforts while meeting the ever-evolving expectations of shareholders and customers.
To bridge this gap, consulting firms are stepping in with strategic insight, operational expertise and innovative solutions that help businesses thrive. From guiding enterprise-wide digital transformations to advising on restructuring and developing end-to-end strategies, consulting leaders are equipping organisations to build resilience, unlock growth, and sustain competitiveness in a complex global environment.
Another defining strength lies in their sustainability leadership. With the EU’s Green Deal and tightening ESG reporting requirements, businesses face mounting pressure to align profitability with responsibility. Europe’s leading consulting services are stepping up, offering frameworks that merge environmental responsibility with competitive advantage. They enable clients to reduce emissions, integrate circular economy models, and meet regulatory standards without compromising growth.
What truly sets these consulting leaders apart is their ability to deliver holistic solutions that integrate strategy, technology, and culture. They are no longer just advisors but partners in execution, embedding themselves within client ecosystems to co-create value.
In this edition, we highlight organisations that are transforming the European business landscape through digital transformation initiatives, integrated advisory frameworks and enterprise-ready strategies that empower companies to grow and adapt.
This edition also features insights from consulting executives who are at the forefront of change. Giovanni Cataldi, Head of Legal, Tax Planning and International Taxation at Natuzzi, emphasises that legal departments must expand their knowledge beyond the legal realm, integrating IT, economics and big data to support business strategy. Rui Veríssimo, Business Transformation Office – Project Lead at Honda Motor, emphasises that strategic planning necessitates a shared understanding throughout the organisation to prevent it from becoming a merely task-driven exercise, while fostering engagement and empowerment to achieve genuine transformation.
As Europe navigates a new era of growth and competition, this edition offers fresh perspectives on the consulting landscape, showing how innovation, integration, and purposeful strategy are enabling businesses to achieve sustainable development and long-term success. We hope these valuable insights featured in this edition will assist you in making informed decisions for your businesses.
