Turn complexity
into clarity.
ALTWHIZ helps organizations solve complex business, technology, scientific and operational challenges—from strategy and digital products to laboratory systems, advanced engineering and R&D.
Led by Sanjeev Kumar, PhD. Based in France, working internationally.
The ALTWHIZ approach
- 01Complexity
- 02Structure
- 03Decision
- 04Execution
From connected thinking to practical progress.
Our point of view
Hard problems rarely stay inside one discipline.
A product decision often depends on how operations run. A laboratory workflow is often, at heart, a software problem. ALTWHIZ works across those lines, from the first analysis through to implementation.
Capabilities
Four core capabilities
Strategy and operations, technology and digital products, advanced engineering, and research and documentation. An engagement can draw on more than one.
Strategy, Business & Operations
Business analysis, process design, operating models, transformation, requirements and execution planning.
Explore capabilityTechnology & Digital Products
SaaS, software platforms, product architecture, integrations, automation, AI-enabled workflows and delivery.
Explore capabilityAdvanced Engineering & R&D
Fluid mechanics, CFD, heat transfer, microfluidics, numerical modelling, experimentation and engineering design.
Explore capabilityResearch, Analysis & Documentation
Technical research, requirements, specifications, SOPs, reports and decision-support material.
Explore capabilitySpecialist depth
For the harder technical questions
ALTWHIZ combines broad consulting capability with specialist technical disciplines that can be brought into an engagement when required.

Read case studyHow we work
How an engagement runs
Four stages: define the problem, find what matters, design the way forward, then carry it out.
- 01 / Understand
Define the real problem.
Objectives, constraints, stakeholders, systems, data and operating context.
- 02 / Analyse
Find what matters.
Priorities, requirements, risks, opportunities and evidence.
- 03 / Design
Create the path forward.
Strategy, architecture, workflow, product, model or execution framework.
- 04 / Execute
Turn decisions into progress.
Implementation, documentation, coordination, iteration and improvement.

The founder
Sanjeev Kumar, PhD
Founder & Principal Consultant
A multidisciplinary trajectory spanning scientific engineering research, industrial problem solving, healthcare and laboratory technology, software products, business systems and entrepreneurship.
The PhD and advanced engineering background provide technical depth; ALTWHIZ itself is broader—connecting strategy, technology, operations and engineering around difficult problems.
