Strategic Consulting Services

About Carlos Bastida:

I am Carlos Bastida, a business strategist with a 20-year career in the corporate world. My professional experience spans diverse industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, dermocosmetics, sports apparel and footwear, as well as manufacturing—a journey that culminated in 2019 when I launched my own consultancy.

My passion is driving growth and innovation with a clear purpose: to create real value for my clients.

I view information as the ultimate strategic resource.

My approach is straightforward: I partner with my clients to implement strategies that enhance their growth. Every project is an opportunity to redefine the boundaries of what is possible in business, turning challenges into competitive advantages.

Beyond being a consultant, I consider myself a strategic partner, committed to the success of every organization that places its trust in my expertise.

My academic background is the result of a continuous pursuit of knowledge in areas such as international business, executive management, Lean & Six Sigma, supply chain design, negotiation techniques, leadership skills, project management, data analysis, and artificial intelligence.

Business Intelligence

Target Audience: Executives, Entrepreneurs, and Boards of Directors.

In an increasingly complex and dynamic business environment, with trillions of data points and information published daily, it's easy and very risky to get lost among false information and even more challenging to find accurate and important information. Business intelligence has become a key element for informed and strategic decision-making.

My methodology integrates strategies, processes, technologies, and tools designed to transform large volumes of complex data into clear, strategic, and meaningful information by employing artificial intelligence algorithms, rigorous data analysis, perspectives on geopolitical tensions, and operational considerations about supply chains. I convert this complex information into brief, simple, and precise strategic reports that I explain to my clients so they can make well-founded, data-driven decisions.

My main objective is to provide my clients with comprehensive information about trends, opportunities, and risks for their businesses.

Target Audience: Executives and Managers.

Supply Chain Design

Do you feel overwhelmed by the complexity and chaos of your daily operations? Are costs soaring, deliveries becoming complicated, and errors multiplying? Are customer and supplier complaints increasing, while lack of visibility and transparency in processes and information flows leaves you in chaos and stress?

My methodology focuses on understanding the specific needs and objectives of your business or company to design a supply chain that adapts to your requirements—a tailored solution.

Through comprehensive analysis and thorough mapping of each link in your chain, from supplier selection to final delivery, we identify strategic opportunities to optimize operational flows and eliminate any bottlenecks that hinder your efficiency. You will have a clear and detailed vision of the profile of each product you manage, and processes will be designed and implemented to meet your internal needs and customer expectations. This will result in a significant reduction in costs and operational times, allowing your physical inventories to align precisely with your system data in the near term.

Visibility and transparency throughout all processes and information flows, from suppliers to customers, are fundamental for informed decision-making!

Targeted at Executives and Managers.

Soft Skill Coaching

Is internal communication within your team often breaking down, leading to misunderstandings and frustration? Are you noticing missed opportunities due to a lack of effective collaboration or inspirational leadership? Are stress, chaos, and internal conflicts affecting your profits, productivity, and efficiency? Is conflict resolution becoming tense and prolonged, impacting your work environment?

The most successful companies in the world simultaneously develop both pillars: technological innovation and personnel development, integrating them into efficiency, quality, and continuous improvement.

My approach to soft skills training focuses on identifying and enhancing your team’s key competencies through customized, measurable programs designed to transform your organizational culture. Starting from a comprehensive diagnosis, we develop strategies that strengthen each essential skill, for example:

Teamwork and Synchronization:
We foster an environment where collaboration flows seamlessly and every team member understands their role, ensuring that individual efforts harmoniously align towards common goals.

Inspirational Leadership and Proactivity:
We cultivate leaders who not only guide but inspire their teams, promoting a proactive mindset that turns challenges into growth opportunities.

Negotiation and Active Listening:
By training your team in effective negotiation techniques and active listening, we enhance communication quality, facilitating inclusive and well-informed decision-making.

Commercial Expansion

For small and medium-sized businesses, expanding into international markets—or even into new regions within the country—can seem like an overwhelming task. Investing in physical infrastructure and establishing local teams poses significant challenges. This is where professional brand representation becomes your indispensable strategic ally, acting as a vital link between your company and potential clients, suppliers, or partners in these coveted markets, ultimately boosting your presence, networking, and sales.

My purpose is to offer you strategic functions such as:

• Promoting your brand, products, or services through diversified channels, including in-person events and digital platforms.

• Representing your brand at industry events, conferences, and key meetings, creating visibility opportunities and establishing valuable connections with influential professionals.

• Meticulously analyzing the market and competition, providing you with business intelligence that supports your strategic decisions and optimizes your positioning.

• Negotiating and strengthening lasting relationships with potential clients, suppliers, and partners, fostering trust, loyalty, and collaboration that drive your sustainable growth.

Targeted at Entrepreneurs and Executives.
