Corporate strategy

The role of corporate strategy is to assure that the value of the enterprise as a whole is more than the sum of its parts.

Developing a winning corporate strategy requires a determined focus on value creation and attention to four important areas:

First is a clear, shared and long-term vision that inspire the team and engages investors.
Then a strategy should be defined to realize the vision.
The third (but not on the third place) is developing corporate culture.

And finally, establish the corporate policies and processes that reflect linkage of strategy, culture to value creation.

We collaborate with our clients to support the initiatives that will drive high performance. We use different analyses and pride ourselves on helping clients create pragmatic and actionable strategic plans that are focused on top results.

Strategic planning

Traditionally strategic planning was perceived as an annual budget and five-year plan. These traditional planning approaches work well in stable and relatively predictable markets and sectors, but nowadays we have fast changing markets, which demand more nimble approaches.

Such different approaches that match the clock speed of planning to that of the market are:

Addressing the long-term vision, medium-term strategy, and short-term plans precisely
Establish a clear link from strategy to implementation
Grasp new thinking methods to boost creativity

When done right, these approaches yield not only better plans but also a leadership team better prepared to react to disruptions, a stronger strategy team, and greater organizational engagement and alignment around the strategy.

We can support clients not only in preparing the strategic planning but also in how execute it.

In today’s taught competitive market many business ideas often remain as just that, an idea.

Feasibility studies are crucial during the early development stages of any project and form a vital component in the business development process. Feasibility studies enable organizations to assess the viability, cost and benefits of projects before financial resources are allocated. They also provide sovereign project assessment and improve project credibility.
