Two senior partners in your room
Tim Lewko
Tim has spent 25+ years in the room with CEOs and business-unit leaders on four continents, working on one question: which decisions move EBITDA, and how do you make them faster. He built the MOVE® strategy decision and accountability system across 100+ engagements and has delivered more than $2B in incremental EBITDA for clients in North America, Latin America and Europe.
He is the author of MOVE: AI-Powered Strategy for a Fast World (Routledge, 2025) and Making Big Decisions Better (Routledge, 2014). His work on strategic decision-making has been featured by Thinkers50 and heard on CNBC, Fox Business and the Minter Dialogue podcast. Before founding the strategy practice he was with Deloitte.
Scott Newton
Scott leads the strategy and M&A practice across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. A Canadian based in Italy for more than two decades, he has advised 250+ CEOs, boards and private-equity sponsors — most of them industrial companies between €150M and €2B — and has delivered more than $2B in incremental EBITDA with them.
Alongside client work he holds non-executive director roles, takes selected equity positions in scale-ups and funds, and works with a number of organisations on circular business models. He holds an MBA from CIMBA (University of Iowa, Tippie) and works in English and Italian.

Thirty years of questions
The firm's roots are in the work of Dr. Charles Kepner — the RAND behavioural scientist whose decision methods NASA engineers used to bring Apollo 13 home.
Kepner co-founded Thinking Dimensions with Dr. Mat-thys Fourie in 1997 after watching companies like Dow, Disney and NASA destroy value through "jump-to-cause" problem solving and "shoot-from-the-hip" decisions. The answer was structured questions — a fixed sequence that forces evidence before conclusions.
MOVE applies the same discipline to strategy. Both systems are question sets. For 30 years humans supplied the processing power. Now AI does, and the questions matter more than ever — because they decide what gets analysed, and the judgement to act on the answer is still the scarce thing.
Strategic partnerships
Two bodies of proprietary decision IP, each proven across hundreds of companies. Open to licensing, embedding or acquisition by the right partner.
MOVE Strategy System®
Strategy decision and accountability system. One page of strategy, one page of execution, tied to EBITDA, free cash flow and earnings. Suited to advisory firms, PE operating groups and platforms that need a common strategic language across a portfolio.
