Independent Strategy Diagnostics
Strategy Stress Test
Will your strategy stand up to challenge?
Strategy Stress Test takes the strategy outside the room it was written in. We test it against the external environment, the organisation it must live in and the value it claims to create — then challenge the assumptions holding it up.

Who it is for
When leaders commission this diagnostic
- The strategy is heading for board, investor or shareholder scrutiny.
- You need independent external research rather than internal opinion.
- You want the assumptions behind the plan surfaced and rated before you commit.
- You want a challenge session with the findings, not just a document.
