Strategy development and implementation

Strategy development and implementation

Successful public organizations continuously maintain a solid understanding of their strategic position and opportunity space. Clarity in strategic foundations and effective strategy implementation provide shared direction, responsiveness to change, and operational capacity for both leaders and employees.

We support our clients with the following services:

• Assessment of the current strategic situation – and, if needed, supplementary strategic analysis
• Scenario development and exploration of strategic options
• Formulation or “stress-testing” of the organization’s strategic foundations – vision, mission, and values
• Development of overall or partial strategies, including goals and initiatives, presented in a communicative format such as strategy maps, transformation maps, or theories of change
• Advisory and sparring on choices and trade-offs – because strategy is also about daring to prioritize and focus
• Preparation of action plans and allocation of resources
• Implementation and communication planning
• Establishment of a governance and monitoring model to support execution

Our working method is based on active involvement of the client in both strategy development and implementation. Our consultants’ role is to facilitate, challenge, structure, and document the dialogue and decisions made by the organization’s leaders and employees.

We tailor and scale the strategy work to match the client’s needs – including the level of ambition, size, and available resources.
