STRATEGY & COMPLEX
PROBLEM-SOLVING
Helping leaders and teams move from uncertainty to action.
In our strategy practice, we partner with organizations navigating complex, high-stakes challenges. Whether you’re scaling a new initiative, navigating shifts in funding or market conditions, or aligning stakeholders across organizational silos, we bring clarity, structure, and momentum.
Using tools like scenario planning, systems thinking, and collaborative strategy sprints, we help organizations move beyond quick fixes to develop resilient, adaptive approaches that drive real-time progress – and prepare for what’s next.
OUR APPROACH
We approach strategy as a core leadership act. That means we don’t simply apply frameworks. Instead, we co-create strategies through facilitated learning and structured problem-solving that actively engages your team and reflects your unique context.
Our approach blends:
- Strategic insight grounded in experience across public, private, and mission-driven sectors
- Facilitation expertise that engages diverse stakeholders and surfaces new ideas
- Adaptive thinking to enable flexibility, reflection, and smart iteration

OUR STRATEGY PROCESS
We guide you through a flexible, four-step process:
- 1. Diagnose the landscape – Understand the technical and adaptive aspects of your challenge
- 2. Clarify the core issues – Identify what’s at stake, for whom, and why it matters
- 3. Design smart, context-aware interventions – From retreats to sprints to scenario exercises
- 4. Build capacity – Leave your team stronger and more aligned than before
