Tools

Our tools are fact-grounded, future-focused, team-centered, fast and efficient

Examples include:

Strategic Audit - Defines the firm’s strategic strengths/assets, competitive disadvantages/liabilities, critical assets that make the business hard to imitate. Defines areas of focus for resource deployment – to leverage key assets and manage/eliminate liabilities.

Trend Mining - Identifies 125-150 trends impacting the industry and distills these to the 4-6 forces of change that will impact your business. The final phase interprets these 4-6 forces of change, identifies the implications of these forces and generates new ideas for specific products or services.

Accelerated Strategic Assessment Process (ASAP) - Our process identifies and weights strategic value drivers, scores for value creation/dilution and identifies potential opportunities and risks. Ensures a disciplined, strategic assessment of the existing portfolio of businesses or acquisition candidates.

Growth Platform Development - A disciplined process for identification and evaluation of alternative strategic growth initiative areas, including business case development. Can also include concept development and implementation planning.

Strategic Insight Panels ("SIP Sessions") - A qualitative research tool designed to bring valuable strategic insights on a particular subject through interactive "expert panel" discussions.
