Our Services
Retail Strategy/Advisory
We not only help clients identify opportunities with strong ROI, but also roll up our sleeves to make sure the returns are achieved. We do this by fusing the strategic planning process with our retail management methodology. We help our clients identify the challenges keeping them from leveraging their investments and meeting objectives through our cross-functional planning. We believe it is critical to consider all known costs and measurable benefits in order to plan a phased approach that brings early returns.
Strategic Planning. Deeper Thinking.
Our work encompasses several segments of business. We help clients:
- Solidify key strategies and performance metrics
- Manage competing priorities and investments
- Position their brands in the market and in the minds of consumers
- Build the right competencies and capabilities within their teams for successful execution and sustainability
Sharp Tools. Sharper People.
Our Discovery & Gap Analysis process takes a systematic view of both the internal and external landscapes. Through this analysis we identify gaps and work with you to develop strategic options. It provides a level-set for clients to determine their current operating position compared to their competitors and/or best practice companies and how their organization will manage change. This can be used as an entire strategic plan as well as a sub-set, such as IT Infrastructure, Loyalty, Branding, Growth, etc.
Return On Investment
We help you find opportunities that give you a strong ROI. Then we roll up our sleeves to be sure your returns are achieved!
Overcoming Business Challenges
Most companies have too many competing priorities and are in need of an effective roadmap they can realistically implement. After struggling year after year with breakdowns in technologies, business practices, resources or budget allocations, we help our clients identify “quick win” opportunities. These opportunities are implemented with minimal cost and effort and develop a phased approach, timeline and cost/benefit analysis for accomplishing strategic objectives for longer term initiatives.
Before We Give Answers, We Ask Questions.
Many strategic questions facing organizations can be categorized into the following key areas: Customer Proposition, Product Positioning, and Operational Architecture. We work with our clients to answer these questions and lay the strategic foundation for all future initiatives and plans.
With a rapidly changing business landscape and so many competing priorities, it is critical that strategies are developed, cascaded, executed and sustained. Our approach provides the high level thought leadership to work with senior leaders and the organizational understanding and best practices to work at all levels to ensure strategy succeeds and thrives.
