Corporate Strategy Consulting
Corporate strategy consulting is crucial to corporate governance as the Board’s role is oversight of corporate strategy and performance of the CEO. Our corporate strategy consulting services focus on strategy development, validation and oversight. Strategy is a key element of effective governance. Like governance, we believe that strategy development and oversight effectiveness is maximized when those involved share a consistent definition of strategy and their role in the development and oversight processes. We work with Boards, CEO’s and Senior Leadership Teams on strategy effectiveness.
Our strategy consulting services include:
