Strategic sparring

• How do you keep your company on the right track?
• How do you stay focused on making an impact?
• When a change is needed, how do you get everyone on board?
• How do you manage to stay adaptable in this rapidly changing world?
• Up for some impromptu strategic sparring while putting your strategy into action?

Strategising isn’t your run-of-the-mill endeavour. Neither is running an impact-driven organisation. This leaves you with quite the challenge, and being in charge can get lonely at times.

At S&L, we see it every day: there’s a strong demand for strategic sparring among impact-focused entrepreneurs. It might not be the right time for an extensive strategic trajectory, or it simply isn’t the right approach. In that case, spending no more than three hours focusing on your impact strategy might be exactly what you need. Just you and us, one-on-one.

Together, we face your challenges and sort out the essential from the non-essential. We take a look at your organisation’s ecosystem, thinking outside the box and staying focused on the impact you want to make. We discern and prioritise various strategic options, swiftly and tangibly. Goodbye tunnel vision, hello fresh perspective.

Want to crank it up a notch?

Is your organisation growing rapidly, are you heading for a major transformation, or is the execution of your existing strategy hitting a few bumps? A permanent sounding board could be just the ticket. At S&L, we refer to this as Strategy-as-a-Service, or simply StrAAS.

To keep things moving and on track, we schedule regular, brief sparring sessions—short and sweet. At crucial moments or when things get tricky, we serve as a steady sounding board. We’re here to offer an honest perspective, right at the perfect time.

Then, we guide you (and, potentially, parts of your team) through a series of in-depth sessions. Three to five sessions over the span of a year, to be more precise. During these sessions, we focus on reviewing your strategy, taking a close look at your value proposition and customer needs, comprehensively analysing your organisation’s inner workings, zooming out to consider your ecosystem, and assessing your shifting innovation strategy or positioning.
