Why we are different

At Strategy.Inc, we pioneer a nontraditional approach to strategy. Our approach is human centered, collaborative, inclusive, facilitative, practical.

We bring our unique understanding of strategy and implementation together with our own frameworks and process.

Our purpose

We founded Strategy.Inc for a reason. While there is no shortage of strategy consultancy companies and training programs, we see a big gap between what is offered and what is needed to make strategy really work in practice.

Rather than a traditional approach for the few large corporates on this planet, we therefore offer a nontraditional human-centered approach for the many mid-sized organizations out there. Our purpose in all of this is:

To guide people and organizations toward strategy that inspires and moves by promoting and propelling a deeply human-centered view of strategy through three main pillars:

We do so through three types of services:

Certification: through building, training, and empowering a global network of highly skilled and engaged strategy and implementation consultants
Consulting: through advising and facilitating organizations in strategy design and implementation, bringing alignment, clarity and cohesion
Competency: through assessing and educating professionals and leaders at all organizational levels to develop tomorrow's essential strategic competencies

Our principles

We're a nontraditional organization following a nontraditional approach. We need to, because the traditional approach that we've known for so many decades doesn't work. Decades of extremely high failure rates in strategy are the clearest indicator of this.

Our unique approach can be summarized through the following five principles:

01

We prioritize strategy & implementation over analysis and planning

Traditional strategy is heavy on analysis and planning and light on strategy and implementation. This results in over-analysis and over-reliance on everchanging forecasts and plans.

To turn the tides, we focus on actual strategy and implementation activities and reduce on analysis and planning. We emphasize creative and integrative strategy design, as well as individual and team-based implementation coaching to develop high-performing teams, continuous alignment, and leadership accountability.
02

We provide developmental consulting and educate our clients on strategy

03

We bring together both the explicit and the implicit parts of strategy

The traditional expert consultant focuses on strategy content, while the process consultant focuses on process. While both are important, they are not enough for effective strategy development and implementation. The content and process-side of strategy is what meets the eye.

Below the surface, there is an entire implicit layer that is too often ignored. Through our developmental consulting and coaching we directly address people's mindsets and behaviors, thereby empowering your organization to achieve real and lasting change.
04

We adopt a participative approach engaging entire organizations

Traditional strategy is made by the top and then communicated to the rest of the organization. Decades of research shows that a participative approach is far more effective.

It leads to: better strategy because more perspectives are integrated, smoother execution because people co-own the strategy from day 1, team alignment through continuous open dialogue, and competence development through learning-by-doing. In the light of these evident advantages, we wholeheartedly adopt a participative approach—in every culture.
05

We pioneer and propel a human-centered approach to strategy

Traditional strategy is analysis, economics, and finance-centered. It relies on the idea of organizations as machines, efficiently turning resources into goods and services to create profits.

Human-centered strategy approaches organizations as social networks, as places where people join and collaborate to make a difference. This means that human skills, human relationships, human values, human needs, and human conditions are center-stage as foundation for our overall philosophy and approach.

Our people

We are a globally born company. With a team spanning most continents from day 1, we're on a mission to change the strategy landscape across the globe—and dramatically improve it.

Our driving force is shaped by our attributes:

Experienced. We bring deep expertise from diverse careers and knowledge in various fields.
Caring. Our commitment to improvement stems from a genuine concern for people and the world.
Driven. We're ambitious, always aiming to exceed expectations and embrace challenges.
Straightforward. We value transparency and honesty, preferring to under-promise and over-deliver.
Balanced. We prioritize effectiveness over mere effort, leveraging life experience to harmonize time and resources.
