All companies need him, only a few really do have him, many would love to have him on board, but don’t need him permanently and that’s why they don’t have him – but they miss him – the Chief Strategy Officer

How about a longer term relationship with a very experienced strategist as an external Chief-Strategy on demand?

A man, who knows your business and supports you in the main strategic topics, but only as per your request.

  • Jointly enhancing the longterm Corporate Strategy (e.g. in your strategy days / strategy process)
  • Developing the strategic roadmap together with you
  • Supporting and challenging you on scoping strategic projects
  • If applicable – preparing advisory board sessions
  • Acting as a sparringspartner for you and your leadership team on strategic topics

Many mistakes especially in the business surrounding simply happen because nobody, who is a specialist in the required topic took the time to structure the scope and requirements and strategically think the topic to the end with consequences and real potentials and benefits. Or probably such a specialist does not even get asked.

Probably you have also been in the situation, that projects made it on the agenda, which afterwards turn out to be an obvious or very expensive mistake.

Either because they earn much less than expected, are much more expensive than estimated or in worst case need to be cancelled after starting implementation, being not feasible.

We can’t avoid all mistakes as nobody can foresee future – and obviously mistakes are required to learn. 
As well of course it does not make sense to cross-check everything, consulting a specialist.

But the main strategic agenda?

Topics that make it to your strategic agenda usually are too important to fail.

By leveraging a Strategy Specialist, several big mistakes that happen in business, especially regarding Strategic Projects and Strategy Development can easily be avoided at a much lower price, than the cost or also image loss that happen as a result of the mistakes.

Attached some examples that frequently happen in real business, which very often should get challenged upfront e.g. by a Chief Strategy Officer

  • Implementation of new ERP System like SAP – which can easily take up to 1-2 years, costing several million Euros or Dollars without any real benefit afterwards or crashing your organization within implementation due to the required resource capacitites
  • Production relocation e.g. from high cost country to low cost country – which in many cases is much more expensive than expected, transfer efforts are underestimated and resulting in significant trouble with serving customers during transition
  • Production improvement, especially when not touching the overall OPS footprint – as very often the real bottleneck is not the most obvious one

That’s why we offer you highly experienced strategists in the role of the Chief Strategy to support you on strategy development, strategic decision making and project scoping.

We want to put you in the driver seat, enabling you as best as we can, that you can grow – because our world needs your success! Tell us about your needs, and we will do our best to make it happen.
