Strategic Planning & Business Development

Strategy is not a commodity you buy off-the-rack; it has to be tailor-made. Neither benchmarking, re-engineering, downsizing, virtualization, management by objectives, six-sigma, etc. are strategies; these are leveling tools that everyone can emulate and that may help attain survival. Strategy is not about survival; it is about discovering and strengthening your competences and exploiting them for sustainable economic advantage. Strategy is then knowing what to do and not do (boundaries) and doing it better than the rest. We can help our clients with their entry, growth or exit strategies.

  • For our larger, more established clients, we offer our ability to think outside of the box, our lack of internal political agenda, and our independence from the sometimes inevitable "groupthink."
  • For our smaller, emerging clients, we offer an alternative to the temptation to "do it all," by offering outsourcing access to experienced resources capable of making significant and swift contributions.
  • For our state company or application authority clients, we offer the ability to "read" their market (available investors) and benchmark and differentiate from competing regional petroleum provinces and/or energy markets. We can help them attract the right companies and investors while optimizing their rent take.
  • For our financial institution, venture capital and law firm clients, we offer an impartial opinion of a subject firm’s strategy or its assets’ valuation. We can assist investing clients in identifying tomorrow’s "breakout" companies in selecting potential portfolio investments.
