Strategy
Translating vision into actional blueprints
Blackberg supports your organization‘s complete strategic journey. From establishing strategic awareness to building a dynamic roadmap, we deliver recommendations and solutions to construct a bold strategy that propels your organization forward with enduring success.
Strategic Awareness
A great strategy begins with a robust awareness of your organization‘s internal and external environment. Trends like globalization, social media, and cloud computing have narrowed the window of relevance to annual strategic refreshes. The advent of artificial intelligence, increased mobility, and advances in data science promise to narrow the window of relevance further.
We move beyond the “snapshot approach“—tailoring awareness to predictive trends and factors most relevant to our organization. These span policy, law, environmental, social, political, economic, value chains, technology, talent, and stakeholder needs. By emphasizing predictive trends, we anticipate strategic positioning for the future.
