What Does a Strategy Consultant Actually Do? And What Value Does a Strategy Consultant Bring to Their Clients?

Strategy consultants are professionals who help businesses and organizations make smart decisions to achieve their goals. They act as problem solvers, advisors, and experts in guiding companies toward success.

 

Here are ten ways how strategy consultants bring value to their clients:

 

1. Understanding the Business:

The first thing a strategy consultant does is thoroughly understand the client's business. They analyze its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to understand the company's current situation clearly.

 

2. Identifying Challenges and Opportunities:

Once they understand the business, strategy consultants identify the main challenges the company is facing and the potential opportunities it can explore. They look for areas that can be improved or expanded to help the company grow.

 

3. Data Analysis:

Strategy consultants are data-driven. They collect and analyze data about the market, customers, competitors, and industry trends to make informed recommendations for their clients.

 

4. Creating Action Plans:

Based on their analysis, strategy consultants develop action plans. These plans outline the steps the company should take to overcome challenges and take advantage of opportunities. They provide a clear roadmap for the client to follow.

 

5. Problem-Solving and Decision-Making:

Strategy consultants excel at problem-solving. They help clients tackle complex issues by breaking them into manageable parts and finding innovative solutions. They also assist in decision-making, helping clients make choices that align with their long-term goals.

 

6. Implementing Changes:

It's not enough to have a plan; it needs to be implemented. Strategy consultants work with their clients to implement the proposed changes and monitor progress to ensure the strategies are successful.

 

7. Providing Expertise:

As experts in their field, strategy consultants bring valuable knowledge and experience to their clients. They keep up with the latest industry trends and best practices, sharing insights that can benefit the business.

 

8. Objective Perspective:

Being external advisors, strategy consultants offer an objective perspective. They are not tied to internal politics or biases, which allows them to give honest feedback and recommendations.

 

9. Supporting Growth and Innovation:

Strategy consultants help companies find new opportunities for growth and innovation. They assist in exploring new markets, developing new products or services, and staying ahead of competitors.

 

10. Continuous Improvement:

Strategy consultants encourage a culture of continuous improvement within the organization. They foster learning and adaptability, enabling the company to thrive in a rapidly changing business environment.

In summary, strategy consultants play a vital role in helping businesses make informed decisions and achieve their goals. They provide valuable insights, data analysis, and action plans to address challenges and seize opportunities. By working closely with their clients, they support growth and innovation while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

How Can 1-Hour Be Enough for Strategy Consultation?

The answer lies in the approach taken.

 

In the world of art, there are significant differences between painting, sketching, and outlining.

 

For example, a painting entails meticulous attention to detail, capturing every nuance, and takes considerable effort to complete.

 

On the other hand, an outline focuses on the big picture, providing a clear direction with fewer details, making it much easier to finish.

 

Sketching is somewhere in the middle, with more attention to detail, but not as meticulous as painting.

Painting vs Outlining.jpg

Similarly, in the realm of strategy, our 1-hour 1-on-1 consultancy session adopts the outlining approach. We understand that the heart of effective strategy lies in grasping the high-level direction, and setting the foundation for success without getting bogged down in excessive intricacies.

If you are interested in the sketching approach, please check my Rapid Strategy Deployment course.

 

Therefore, this 1-on-1 consultation has a vastly different nature:

 

1. Emphasizing the Big Picture:

During our session, we concentrate on the key aspects that shape your business's future, painting a strategic landscape that guides your decisions and actions.

 

2. Nimble and Agile:

Just as an outline allows artists to adjust and refine their vision swiftly, our 1-hour session enables nimble decision-making, empowering you to respond swiftly to market changes.

 

3. Efficient and Effective:

By focusing on the essential elements, we optimize your time and resources, ensuring every minute of our session contributes to transformative insights and strategies.

 

4. Personalized Direction:

Similar to how an outline highlights the unique contours of an artwork, our consultancy session tailors the direction to your specific business needs, providing a roadmap for growth.

 

5. Empowering Decision-Makers:

Like artists envisioning their creations, we empower you with actionable strategies, so you can take charge and bring your vision to life.

 

6. Pathway to Progress:

Just as outlines pave the way for detailed paintings, our session lays the groundwork for ongoing strategic development and implementation.

What will Happen in the 1-on-1 Strategy Consultation Session?

Here are what will happen during your call (this approach is called the GOSPEL approach as outlined in my best-selling book, the GOSPEL of Winning Strategy):

 

Step 0: Understanding the Problem:

The process starts with you explaining your challenges and concerns in-depth with us. We listen carefully to gain a comprehensive understanding of the issues faced by the client.

 

Step 1: Setting Clear Goals:

Together, you and us define a clear and achievable goal. This goal serves as the guiding direction for the entire consulting process.

 

Step 2: Analyzing and Assessing Options:

We then thoroughly analyze together your business, market dynamics, and available resources, so that we can properly assess various options and opportunities that align with the defined goal.

 

Step 3: Formulating the Strategy:

Based on the analysis, we formulate a well-defined strategy. This strategy outlines the best way to overcome challenges and achieve goals.

 

Step 4: Building Concrete Action Plans:

With the strategy in place, we create high-level action plans alongside you. These plans outline key steps, timelines, and responsibilities to implement the strategy effectively.

 

Step 5: Setting-up for Implementation:

Without adequate financial and human resources, action plans are susceptible to failure. Therefore, we clarify the resource requirements, paving the way for successful plan implementation.

To track the strategy's success, we help you establish a monitoring mechanism. This allows you to measure progress, identify early signs of issues, and make necessary adjustments.
