Strategy

Exporing the theory behind the practice

We’re strategists – we can’t help it. We often say, “If you’ve got the strategy gene, it’s just good process. If you don’t have the gene, process won’t help.” We’ve got the gene. Strategies are more than voting with dots on a list. They’re a deep understanding of what levers to pull to make a difference, and how to orchestrate actions to deliver the strongest impact from the least effort. Give us a problem and we’ll see patterns that lead to a good solution.

But solutions without facts are just ideas. One our strengths is our ability to design research that informs strategy, and we know and love data – whether it’s making sense of a rapidly changing world, feedback from community engagement, investigating solutions to a tricky problem, or designing effective surveys – our strategies are based on the best possible inputs, and they work.

We’ve done regional tourism strategies, visitor servicing strategies, workforce development strategies, corporate merger strategies, funding and grant strategies, community capacity strategies, heavy vehicle freight strategies, library strategies, business growth strategies – the list is endless, and our customers keep coming back.
