What is HM Strategic Outcomes?
HM Strategic Outcomes (HMSO) is a Dubai-based cost-optimization consultancy offering Savings-as-a-Service: on-demand access to a global bench of senior experts who reduce your costs on a pure pay-per-savings model.
How does the pay-per-savings model work?
You pay only from the savings we deliver. Our fee is an agreed share of those realized savings, so the more we save you, the more we both gain, and if we deliver nothing, you pay nothing. There are no retainers.
What savings can we realistically expect?
Historically, we have delivered double-digit percentage savings on average to our clients. Actual savings vary by category, client, and market conditions. The first thing our experts do in any new engagement is assess your company's savings potential before making any commitment.
Which sectors and costs do you cover?
Any sector and any cost category, from telecom and technology to logistics, facility management, operational supplies, marketing, and more. If it shows up as a cost, it's in scope.
Where is HMSO based and who do you serve?
We are based in Dubai and serve clients across the UAE and the Middle East, drawing on a handpicked network of senior experts that spans the globe.
