Strategy | Recruitment | Change | Training | Our Credentials
Strategy can be hatched in the bath, the bar or the boardroom, but only the world's most natural leaders can carry their teams with them without some kind of more formalised approach. Success and competitive advantage comes from achieving a tight match between corporate goals and the leader's ability to mobilise the financial, physical and human resources of the organisation.
Strategy is all about direction, capacity and action, giving the organisation a strong mandate to succeed. It requires a combination of hard analysis and out-of-the-box creative thinking, coupled with inputs from both external and internal stakeholders. It's not an academic exercise nor an excuse for a retreat at a luxury lodge. It's all about translating a vision of the future into present day reality.
In the private sector, a key issue is competitiveness. In the public sector, it's effectiveness and accountability. For NGOs, it's impact that counts.

The Balanced Scorecard provides a valuable framework for institutional change and capacity building. It is widely used to ensure a direct linkage between strategic plans and departmental and individual activity and achievement. It focuses attention and resources under four key areas. These act as headings for cascading goals, objectives, initiatives and measures from the organisation's mission, vision and values. >more
Scenario
and Contingency Planning
Recent events in Kenya have brought many business
activities to a standstill. While the suddenness of these impacts took everyone
by surprise, the signs were there for those who chose to see them. Most of us
chose to ignore them. Can you afford not to plan for an uncertain future? Best
case and worst case scenarios are a fundamental tool in risk management to enable
you to plan intelligently for 'circumstances beyond our control' such as political
instability and climate change.
Talk to us now while the threat is obvious. It won't go away!
