Strategic Planning
We assist our clients in developing meaningful strategic plans at all levels of their organizations – corporate, divisions, business units, and functional areas. We employ a flexible and powerful approach to strategic planning – FOCUS – that enables clients’ management teams to apply leading edge strategy development principles and techniques to their own unique strategic issues. The resulting strategies are aggressive, yet pragmatic plans articulating the strategic direction the entire management team has built consensus around and commitment to.
FOCUS enables a management team to identify and build distinctive core competencies with out ignoring the need to apply resources to achieving operational excellence. Our clients have captured the key to effective strategy – creating real, sustainable differences that enable the company to win consistently in the competitive marketplace.
Strategy Development and Implementation
Our clients often have strategy development and implementation needs that reach beyond our focus strategic planning process. We are able to adjust our services to virtually any process or methodology. For instance, we have assisted large business units in multi-national corporations conduct effective strategic planning within the context of their corporate mandated methodologies. Also, we have helped companies "jump start" their methodologies and develop effective strategic plans within the constraints of a variety of methodologies.
Strategic Market Research
We conduct proprietary research designed specifically to address clients’ strategic issues. Our research is generally not commodity level market research (e.g., consumer surveys, simple online research, etc.). Rather, we help clients resolve critical open questions through research that drives strategic decision-making – assessing new product and service opportunities, analyzing complex competitive environments, and informing the merger and acquisition process. We are particularly strong in qualitative research techniques, interviewing “hard to reach” decision-makers, and structuring research results so as to enable informed strategic decisions.
Strategic Alliance Development
Strategic alliances continue to grow in importance to many clients’ strategies. We help in a variety of ways – helping to define objectives and criteria for alliances and potential partners, identifying and evaluating potential allies, and structuring alliance plans and strategies – ensuring that alliances focus on partners’ shared objectives and recognize and mitigate potentially conflicting objectives.
