Strategy

Developing impact and ESG strategies to create social value and achieve your purpose

We use a structured and question-led approach to help our clients articulate their vision and turn it into actionable strategic and operational plans. We provide insight to stimulate thinking, generate new ideas and guide our clients towards making the right strategic choices.

We assist our clients across their functional areas from organisational, sustainability to income generation strategies. We help them inform their ambition and choices by providing specific insights, assessments and diagnostics.

We use a structured approach to help our clients turn their vision into actionable plans

Our Approach

  • Through interviews and workshops, we will help you translate your vision, mission and purpose into specific objectives and targets over an agreed period of time. We want to describe what success looks like and ensure that your leadership has a shared ambition.

  • We then conduct a review of your external environment and your own operations to identify opportunities for improvement. We will leverage our expertise in performance and impact reviews, bringing proprietary tools and methodologies to ensure a rapid and effective process. Our approach is collaborative and will include a mix of quantitative and qualitative analysis, surveys, interviews and focus groups.

  • Guided by your ambition and the results from the external and internal reviews, we will draw a list of value drivers. After agreeing on selection criteria, we will prioritise value drivers and start drafting strategic initiatives for review. At the end of this phase, you will have reviewed and agreed on a set of strategic priorities and associated initiatives.

  • The final step is to develop the implementation roadmap supported by a financial model, risk analysis and a governance framework. The plan will have clear milestones, activities and targets for each strategic initiative.

  • We help communicate your purpose and strategy clearly and effectively to all stakeholders, including employees, customers, shareholders, and partners.
