A warm welcome to Bauer Aviation Advisory (BAA), your new trusted and sparring partner for the aviation industry in the post-pandemic era!
Launching a new boutique consulting firm at the height of the pandemic did not faze me – despite solid headwinds and challenges. With the coronavirus pandemic resulting in a deep recession, the entire consulting landscape is ultimately no more immune to the forces of disruption than any other industry. Industries with higher complexity, like aviation, need new trusted partners during these challenging times.
While major consulting firms have historically thrived in the consulting landscape, advisory work needs to be more industry-specific and trusted than ever before. The current COVID-19 crisis has laid the foundation for boutique consulting firms like BAA to become the new trusted and sparring partners for industries like aviation in the post-pandemic era.
we are forced to adapt our services, structure, and operations quickly to remain competitive on the post-pandemic landscape. Being nimble, flexible, and agile has arguably never been more apparent than during this unprecedented global crisis. Many businesses in the aviation industry now face a unique set of challenging pressures, and they are turning back to experts.
However, the consulting industry, in other words, has become inefficient, stagnant, and slow to adapt – even if we have weathered existential crises before. If we dig deeper into the portfolio of services offered by various consulting firms to clients today, a tectonic disruption is hitting the whole consulting industry just as it has hit the aviation industry before.
They are using off-the-shelve solutions, which have been tried and tested before but are not explicitly tailored to the needs of the clients in the aviation industry. They increasingly fail to meet the requirements of specific clients. From my point of view, the so-called one-size-fits-all model can be described as a diminishing business model in the post-pandemic era.
Nowadays, it is much easier for aviation companies and large consulting firms to access subject-matter experts with industry know-how through boutique consulting firms like BAA. They are expected to know the operational reality of clients and offer tailored services that meet methodological, functional, industry, and client demands. This, in turn, enables us at BAA to add more value to clients and partners.
In times of shifting client demands and expectations for tailored services, our growing global network of 35+ subject-matter experts and consultants help us and our partners to be able to deliver better value-added and tailor-made solutions for the clients. Throughout the pandemic, we have developed tailor-made health check packages with various themes for aviation companies to drive substantial operational and cost efficiencies, enhancing cost optimization and revenue generation to increase profits among airlines.
At a time when our beloved aviation industry is facing its most profound crisis in history, we are fully committed to helping our clients and partners overcome the associated challenges of the current pandemic. Underlying our capabilities and services is to secure a sustainable and profitable future for the aviation industry by forging sustainable business with a transformed position for a better future.
We look forward to helping you to tackle your most challenging commercial, operational and financial issues in the aviation industry!
