OFC was designed with the Associate Consultant model in mind to give us access to as wide a range of expertise as possible. In addition to this we are open to strategic partnerships. For example, we have joined forces with HR ValueCurve, a very successful boutique consultancy focusing on reward & performance which is owned and run by Desirée Klein-Wagner
