Independent Strategy Diagnostics

Strategy Check

Is your strategy fundamentally sound?

Strategy Check is our foundation diagnostic. It tests whether the strategy is fundamentally sound: whether the direction is clear, the diagnosis is evidenced, the choices are genuine and the whole thing holds together.

Who it is for

When leaders commission this diagnostic

  • You want an independent second opinion before committing to the strategy.
  • The strategy reads well, but you suspect the underlying logic hasn't been tested.
  • You are preparing to take a strategy to a board or executive committee.
  • You want a fast, fixed-price challenge rather than a consulting engagement.
