Corporate Strategy

The decisions you take today about which path your business will follow in pursuit of growth and profit will set in train a process that will fully unfold only in five, 10 or even 20 years’ time. How can you be confident of getting those decisions right and implementing them successfully?

Bringing together a team of experts, we ensure the strategic response you choose has a clear and rigorously validated economic rationale. We engage deeply and widely with your team to build the management commitment needed for a strategy to deliver exceptional results. And our experience of delivering world-class implementation means we are well positioned to assess strategic proposals for feasibility.

We have helped CEOs and other business leaders across many sectors to grow their organisations and create lasting impact. We support them in managing the major uncertainties they face, in rationalising their portfolios and in rejuvenating their businesses in the face of adverse competitive and market pressures – adding billions of value in the process.

We collaborate with our clients to support the critical initiatives that will drive superior performance.

We use rigorous fact-based analyses and pride ourselves on helping clients create pragmatic and actionable strategic plans that are focused on bottom-line results.

We believe that a great corporate strategy should be valuable, enduring, forward-looking and actionable:

  • Valuable:Corporate strategy needs to effectively allocate resources to the best investment opportunities, drive performance and raise expectations internally and externally, improve a company’s competitive position and add value beyond the sum of its parts.
  • Enduring:In developing a corporate strategy, companies should consider long cycles and macro-trends while ensuring their plan is resilient and adaptive in times of turbulence.
  • Forward-looking: A solid corporate strategy appropriately anticipates risk, uncertainty and optionality.

Actionable: Top-performing companies ensure their corporate strategy is both intuitive and realistic. It should be easy to communicate internally and externally and also provide for an approach that can be acted on by all business units at all levels.
