The world we are living in is becoming increasingly complex. I remember, as a young man, I used to fix my car at the sidewalk outside my door. Today, I don’t even dare to open the hood.
Together with complexity increases our uncertainty, and, often, this impairs our vision and impacts our decisions. Uncertainty could even lead to decision paralysis, in view of the risks involved in a wrong decision.
Our sector, Maritime logistics, in other words the optimization of shipping, ports, marine terminals and logistics operations is no exception to all this. In addition, here we are dealing with a fairly practical sector where, often, decisions are made on a hunch, or because everyone else is doing so, without proper analysis of the ramifications of our decisions. Shipping investments is a notorious point in case in this respect.
Through our executive education, policy advice and contract research, the mission of H&A is to assist decision makers place their decisions in the right economic framework; understand the economic environment in which they operate; assess the risks and rewards of their decisions; understand competitive behavior; balance private profitability with the expectations of society; and last but not least formulate policies leading to sustainable development both privately and socially.
As you will no doubt see in this website, among us we share years of experience in high level advisory services while our executive teaching has taken us to the four corners of the earth. In this regard, flexible in-house education and training, from entry level to boardroom brainstorming is our unique specialty.
We hope to be able to interact with you at some point in time and, again, welcome to H&A.
