Strategy
We work with organisations to develop and deliver strategies that give them a winning edge.
How is your organization going to win now and into the future? Without a strategy, your organization risks being left behind by rivals that anticipate future trends and position themselves for success.
Effective strategy cuts through complexity. It reveals the market opportunities to be pursued and the capabilities needed to win. It unifies and inspires people and clarifies what they need to do to deliver value for your organization, its stakeholders, customers and the community.
We work with businesses, government agencies and not-for-profit organizations to analyze their operating environment, identify strategies for the future and to cascade the strategy into plans.
We listen, ask questions and create strategies that help your team to perform and achieve a bigger idea of success.
Our consulting services include
Business and growth strategy
Boards and executives must decide where to focus their organization’s efforts and resources to achieve sustained high performance. We work with private sector clients to identify the customers, services and markets you should focus on and then draw out what will be required to achieve real impact. We work with government organizations to identify the right initiatives to meet the needs of citizens. And we work with clients across sectors to design the right business model.
Cost reduction and productivity
Whether the driver is margin growth for businesses or greater efficiency for public sector agencies, cost reduction must be sustainable, otherwise organizational performance drops. We start by focusing on what customers and stakeholders most value, and then reduce expenditures that least support the organization’s strategy and future success. We work with you to identify and implement savings.
Mergers, integration and alliances
Major structural changes in organizations often fail to balance the technical and people considerations. When managed poorly, the adverse effects impact people performance, including reduced motivation and productivity, departure of key employees and lack of role clarity. We work with clients to bring strategic, cultural and operational alignment between organizations during and after these major changes.

Reducing your carbon footprint? Start with shifting your culture.
