Corporate strategy

The concept of corporate strategy has made a significant contribution to the advancement of management practice and theory over the past 30 years. Consulting in corporate strategy (business strategy, strategic analysis, strategic planning, strategic restructuring, etc.) is a rapidly growing area of management consulting. Some consultants have made corporate strategy their main or exclusive field of intervention. Consulting in corporate strategy has been strongly influenced by changing fads and fashions

Today, operating executives always have some difficulty stepping back from their immediate priorities and thinking about the long term. Their workloads make it difficult for them to track all the developments in the company’s environment that need to be taken into account in the formulation of strategic plans, and it is notoriously difficult for them to make an honest evaluation of their organization’s weaknesses relative to competition. The consultant brings an open mind to these issues. Many boards of directors develop long-term relationships with consultants who advise them on strategy development, and they clearly find such advice invaluable.
