Trilations

What Trilations does

Trilations is a privately held Belgian management and technology consultancy founded in 2001 and headquartered in Kontich (Antwerp), operating from four offices across Belgium, the United States, Japan, and Australia with a bench of approximately 135 consultants serving clients in roughly 50 countries. The firm is organized around two practice areas. Healthcare Strategies supports pharmaceutical and life-sciences clients with competitive positioning, HCP engagement optimization, product launch excellence, patient centricity, and medical affairs strategy, applying AI and advanced analytics through proprietary frameworks such as the Medical Excellence & Impact Approach, supported by Power BI and Databricks. Organizational Transformation serves energy, utilities, water, public sector, and asset-intensive clients with digitization, information management, process and project management, asset management aligned with ISO 55000, and HR process management consulting, backed by proprietary tools including the Asset Management Maturity Scan and OTL Data Models.

The firm generates revenue exclusively through professional services, delivered via three engagement models — individual consultancy staffing, Team as a Service, and turnkey project delivery — priced on a quote basis rather than published rate cards. Named clients include Novartis and GSK in pharma, Luminus and Water-Link in utilities, and Port of Antwerp-Bruges in the public sector, and the firm cites 536 cumulative projects across 63+ case-study clients. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales augmented by content marketing, case studies, and the 'Mastering Competitiveness' podcast.
