Most strategy fails in the eighteen months after the board approves it — not because the thinking was wrong, but because nobody designed the operating model that has to carry it. Our strategy work starts from the operational end: who runs this, with what team, measured how, funded from where.
Engagements typically pair one senior partner with a small client-side working team. We do not staff pyramids. The deliverable is a running operating rhythm — not a document — and we stay through the first two quarters of execution to prove it holds.
Three-to-seven-year direction setting, stress-tested against the operational and capital realities of the business.
Country and segment entry — regulatory pathway, partner selection, and the first-year operating plan.
Structure, governance, and decision rights rebuilt around how work actually flows.
Margin and throughput recovery programs with weekly operating cadence.
Start from the unit of economics the business actually runs on — a lane, a store, a license, a product line — and build the model from raw data before anyone argues about the answer. No recommendation enters the deck until the operating meeting that has to carry it has confirmed it survives.
Economics first, structure second, incentives third. Any regulatory or partner work that gates the plan runs in parallel from day one, and the operating plan is written backwards from the date that matters.
Margin in the P&L across the quarters after the change, not in the deck. The share of the portfolio repriced, exited or entered on schedule, and how much of the operating leadership is still in its seats at the end.
