Client Feedback

“The idea was to identify the differentiators across each of our businesses, which will transform their Technology Capabilities.  We engaged BasilTree Consulting to partner us in our journey.  They engaged with Business Leaders and Technology Evangelists to help us identify the technology focus areas and capabilities across several divisions.  We are now ready to roll out our Technology Leadership Programme across several businesses in L&T. BasilTree team’s contribution in sculpting the framework and handling orthogonal moments during long discussions have been priceless!”
