Responsive strategy.

The future is unpredictable, no longer a linear continuation of the past. We’re seeing the same phenomenon in business. Markets and products are warping fast while technological progress pushes the speed of change even further. Pursuing strategy in such a hyper changeable future is daunting. Up until now, strategy aimed to shape and control the future.

We feel strategy should refrain from the pursuit of control. Instead, pursue a responsive strategy. One able to swiftly respond to an ever-changing environment. We are strong believers in hybrid and adaptive strategies that can change as quickly as the world of business.

If you’d like to know more about responsive strategy, get in touch. We’re happy to provide chapter and verse.

Collaborative formula.

Building a strategy is like stepping into nature. The rough and untouched. Only when exploring the unknown can a strategy add value. We forcibly embark on new ventures, boldly stepping into the terra incognita.

Well prepared. With the right means and teams. Because there will be challenges along the way. Challenges we’ll tackle with joint effort, collective wisdom, and team effort.

Fledging creativity.

Traditional consulting firms advise you on how to improve your company, rationalise costs, and boost financial performance. While valuable, this information isn’t sufficient. It’s simply optimising what exists. In many cases, companies face a more profound issue: creating what doesn’t.

To stay relevant in fast-changing industries, you need to find stand-out ways to innovate. However, creation demands a different skill set than optimisation. It calls for originality and unconventionality. Qualities you don’t often find in the consulting or corporate landscapes.

Rigorous innovation demands creativity. Creativity that reaches beyond the usual. That emerges from deep inspiration. One that unfolds. Individuals able to mix strategic thinking with creativity are rare. North-East employs several specimens of this otherwise-extinct species.

Seamless assemblage.

For North-East, every new strategy trajectory starts by sharpening our clients’ needs. Often, the question behind the question is the real question. Once you’ve uncovered that, the route forward is to select the right models and modules. For these, we tap into our own library, the ‘Periodic System for Strategy Development’.

After applying the selected models and modules, we can seamlessly connect the results and outcomes with Japanese precision. This is a meticulous job we’ll carry out with great subtlety and devotion. No nails or screws required.

Tip-top tools.

At North-East, we love models and modules. They’re our bread and butter. Strategy was made to simplify complex reality by modelling it and styling it. The only way to do that is through innovative, well thought out models.

We’ve built a model library across multiple domains, curated using top sources, adapting the finest existing models where appropriate. But our secret is in our homebrew: custom-made models brewed from start to end.

Clear process.

Nothing is more frustrating than being in a box. North-East maps out a crystal-clear trajectory prior to each project. This describes, in detail, which team will solve which issues, which tools they’ll use, and during which sessions. We also include deliverables for each.

We are praised for our planning and admired for our process. It may sound strict, but we know from experience that, without a clearly structured and disciplined process, strategy development of any issue is doomed to fail.
