Growth Strategy Consulting
We specialize in growth strategy consulting to help organizations rethink their approaches and priorities and ultimately gain confidence that they have a strategy fit for an agile, digital, and purpose-driven future.
Traditional strategic planning approaches are designed to kill off innovative growth strategies. Our proprietary Outthinker Process® , IDEAS framework, and IN-OVATE model – offers the alternative. Rooted in over a decade of research, rigorously tested through more than 300 strategy efforts, our process differs in four important ways:
- We bring a future-oriented strategic viewpoint
- We apply “strategic patterns” to expand your options portfolio
- We create space to explore seemingly crazy ideas
- We view strategy as a conversation, not just a static document
- We believe great ideas come from hallways, not just board rooms
- We build the capacity to continually think strategically, turning innovation into a managed practice, not just an event
We deliver growth strategy consulting not through traditional dedicated consulting teams working through a workplan, but through:
Workshops – Our IDEAS workshop offers a repeatable process for generating disruptive growth ideas and innovation options. Our IN-OVATE workshop unlocks the potential of employee-led innovation. These can be customized and delivered live (in-person or virtual) or self-placed
Certification – We train and certify employees and business leaders to apply the Outthinker Process and toolkit
Communities – We manage peer communities of chief strategy officers and business consultants interested in supporting and inspiring each other to strategically shape the future
Ecosystem – We curate an ecosystem of carefully selected and vetted consulting firms that we consider to be leaders of their domain
