Strategy

How is your organisation going to win now and into the future?

The answer is strategy. Without a strategy, your organisation risks being left behind. Without it, it is nearly impossible to effectively position yourself for success.

Effective strategy cuts through complexity. It reveals 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 organisation, stakeholders, customers, and community.

We work with businesses, government agencies and not-for-profit organisations to analyse their operating environments, identify strategies for the future, and cascade these into actionable plans. We combine market and business analytics with industry expertise and devise strategies that help teams 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 organisation’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 organisations 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 organisational performance drops. We start by focusing on what customers and stakeholders most value, and then reduce expenditures that least support the organisation’s strategy and future success. We work with you to identify and implement savings.

  • Mergers, integration and alliances

    Major structural changes in organisations 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 organisations during and after these major changes.
