Strategy clarification sessions
Very often, you were busy catching opportunities here and there - which is good - but your strategy no longer appears as clear as it should be if you want to attract partners, investors or even clients and employees. It's time to clarify it and make it even stronger. To achieve this, we follow the structure of the investor pitch to do a full strategy review and to realign your strategy and business parameters. All along this process, we will challenge you about your quest for a durable competitive advantage, which is the essence of a sustainable strategy. Teaching strategy, we also have a theoretical background and we have a sense for what can be applied in practice to small and medium size companies. We have run this approach with many start-ups and are very confident to bring value to clarify your strategy.

  • From your initial ideas when launching the company, you had to change, adjust, modify things permanently and take new directions.

  • It's time to take all the new orientations into account and to formulate the new strategy in a consistent and updated manner.

  • We split the pitch structure in three to four sections and review all the parameters, in order to come up with a fresh re-adjusted strategy, from value proposition to go to market

  • Work with founders and some key people.

  • Typically 3 to 4 half-day sessions 

  • These sessions can also be part of the "Road to financing" as an initial phase prior to meeting investors 

  • Ask us for more information about these sessions here
