Strategy

even successful companies can face steep obstacles to achieving it. Trusted business models run out of steam. Disruptive startups seem to come from nowhere. Opportunities are everywhere around us. Organizations good at doing what made them successful face the “innovator’s dilemma” – and become victims of their own success.

Leadership teams are too busy executing to think long-term, or just don’t have a process in which they feel confident. Traditional approaches to strategy look to the past to predict the future. They are facing the wrong way. We believe that when you take a “future back” approach to setting strategy, you can build new paths to growth that have not yet been imagined.

We work with leaders at both the enterprise and division level to align on a shared vision for the future: who do we strive to be, where to play, how to win.
