Providing guidance to executives


Access to unlimited information leads to a muddled vision of today's world and a confused picture of what the future holds.

However, in order to make the right decisions and manage economic risks, decision-makers need key information regarding future economic developments.

For forty years, BIPE, one of the leading European providers of forward-looking economic analyses and consulting services, has provided executives with relevant advice to guide their actions.

Our mission: helping executives to better orient their strategy

BIPE's consultants communicate their understanding and knowledge of economic mechanisms, the interactions between various entities, the challenges they face and the strategies they are likely to adopt. BIPE's mission is to help executives identify opportunities and control risks to better direct their strategic actions.

Our commitment: providing clear messages on tomorrow's developments

To that end, BIPE analyses how and to what extent decisions and regulatory changes impact future market developments, clients and competitors. BIPE favours dialogue between diverse individuals and/or structures in order to promote clarity and relevance.

Our vocation: providing objective and independent guidance

Objectivity as regards analysing the strategy and the potential development of an organisation. BIPE's outward looking approach helps decision-makers stand back from internal opinions which are often tinged with or influenced by corporate culture.
Independence: BIPE is autonomous vis-à-vis lobbyists or public authorities.


BIPE's expertise

Our actions include :

  • decision support and advice on business strategy: definition of strategies, products, prices, activities and markets; forward-looking analysis of the business and competitive environments;
  • sector trends and forecasts;
  • assistance in elaborating, defining and assessing public policies;

By providing them with forward-looking guidance on their environment, we help businesses to:

  • anticipate and respond to market disturbances;
  • reinforce their competitive position;
  • base the company's budget on realistic assumptions;
  • prepare their marketing strategy with a better understanding of their customers and their growth potential;
  • elaborate and/or support the definition and the implementation of strategic projects, including investment, employment and training aspects;
  • understand relationships between companies within a given sector and/or cluster and the way these relationships must evolve;
  • gauge the consequences of regulatory or fiscal changes on the company and/or sectors.

In addition, we help public authorities to:

  • understand the roles of the different actors and the trends thereof (for example, what is the future dominant organisational model in a sector, or the likely response of businesses to regulatory or other proposed changes);
  • anticipate short, medium and long-term market trends and identify the factors underlying these changes;
  • interact with the private sector, understand the needs of businesses and develop jointly suitable strategies;
  • define what regulatory or fiscal changes are necessary and measure their consequences;
  • develop economic regulatory instruments, pilot and evaluate public actions in the economy.
