For its post trade clients, Silphium Consulting’s particular focus is on policy and strategic thinking in the face of industry change. This involves, in particular, analysis of post-trade change proposals and their impacts on clients, including project planning and execution, and cost-analysis. In addition to hands-on work on specific client project, Silphium can deliver skilfully written consultation responses and drafting amendments, manage discussions with policy makers, and provide sound advice to senior management on constructive approaches to lobbying and external communication. These skills are also applied to supplier reviews and negotiations, where a neutral, external perspective may be required.
