Independent strategic advice in water
Before you make the call, understand the full commitment.
BlueVector Strategy advises senior leaders making consequential water and wastewater decisions. We examine the technical, financial, organizational and governance implications together, so you understand what approval will require and whether your organization is ready to deliver.
Senior-led advisory. Rahim Kanji and Rienk de Vries lead BlueVector’s advisory work, supported by executive advisor Mohsen Mortada.
Where we help
Recognize the decision you are facing.
Changing how water services are delivered
Regionalization, shared services, a municipal service corporation or governance reform. Understand the responsibilities a new model creates and what it will take to operate it.
Deciding how water capacity supports growth
Housing, industry and major new users can compete for limited capacity. Bring allocation, investment timing and decision authority into the same conversation.
Committing to major investment or technology
Test strategic fit, operating implications and organizational readiness before a capital project, digital platform or new technology creates lasting obligations.
Our services

Start with a defined question or mandate. We agree the scope, responsibilities and deliverables with you, then provide the senior advice or leadership capacity needed.

Advice alongside the team you already have.
We use the technical, financial, legal and operational work already in hand. Our role is to examine what the advice means for the whole commitment, including the organization that must carry it through.
BlueVector does not provide engineering design, sell technology or deliver construction. We do not accept success fees.
