In addition to employing a different kind of structure, we also take a somewhat different approach to strategic planning. All too often, strategic plans are monolithic documents that primarily have highest utility sitting on a desk. Complexity and depth beyond resource practicality are their hallmarks. Not with us. At CS, we want to deliver creative strategic solutions that maximize your ability to actually implement them. And odds are good that the more focused and concise your strategic priorities are, the more likely your people will be able to implement them. And drive value creation.

We embrace the process of Appreciative Inquiry, working with your team to develop first-line assessment of opportunities. Market Inquiry is next, where we scope the competitive landscape and your customer’s needs. We apply the principles of Design Thinking to driving innovation…across the spectrum of enterprise design, operational imperatives; associate involvement; marketing and customer understanding; your culture. At CS, we firmly believe that with critical and creative thinking we can work together to define a durable strategy that will provide competitive advantage for your organization.
