| VALUE ENGINE
Delivering and sustaining long-term growth depends on a sound analysis of market conditions and meticulous planning as much as flair, vision and connections. In recognition of this, we have designed the modular ICA Value Engine to provide you with a route map through the development process which has been specifically tailored to the Middle East’s commercial environment. There are four key stages to this process that will help you decide your company’s future direction, how to get there – and how to unlock your hidden assets on the way. Those stages are: |
Competitive Intelligence
Competitive Intelligence entails the systematic gathering monitoring and analysis of:
- Market Intelligence: Sector-level information on trends, government regulations and geopolitical issues
- Partner Intelligence: The activities of your company’s major suppliers and strategic partners
- Competitor Intelligence: News on your key competitors and new entrants into your company’s market sector.
- Trend Analysis: Macro and micro industry trends and the development of advanced scenarios.

Islamic Finance
From a purely practical viewpoint, Islamic finance provides an opportunity to tap into the significant funds of those individuals and organizations seeking Shari’ah-compliant investment opportunities; but at ICA we are also firmly committed to the spirit as well as the letter of Sharia’ah law. While many of our competitors are increasingly giving greater priority to legal form over substance, ICA adopts a traditional understanding of Islam in the context of finance that is innovative but not controversial.
Our services in Islamic banking include advice on
- Shari’ah compliance
- Islamic financial product design
- Islamic corporate finance advice
- Islamic investment research
