What We Do
We use Innovation Strategy, Customer Strategy, Employee Experience Strategy and Business Strategy to help both corporates and government achieve growth and tangible resultsWe help organisations increase their capability, culture and performance and find new ways to explore opportunities, tackle challenges and create value for customers.
Traditional strategic thinking needs a drastic refresh. For decades, executives used conventional strategies against known competitors in familiar markets. The Strategy Group helps you to rethink all of this – new competitors, new strategies, new markets.
Introducing your left-brain to your right-brain
Most big businesses rely heavily on left-brain thinking, leaving the right-brain sitting idle. Innovation Strategy brings the two together – using left-brain frameworks to introduce right-brain creativity. Make the most of both hemispheres to get powerful new thinking.
Strategy got you here, innovation will get you there
Strategy and innovation work together. Strategy is about performing today’s business better and innovation is about discovering tomorrow’s business model. You are busy squeezing existing customers, capabilities and cost base. But there’s a new world waiting to be created.
Create an inspiring vision to help innovation flourish
Like every business function, innovation needs some direction to make it a success. Good Innovation Strategy thinks carefully about where to play, how to play and why you are playing so you are innovating in the right areas, the right way and for the right reasons.
At The Strategy Group, we have developed four strategic pillars based on leading innovation methodologies that will transform organisations and accelerate growth, innovation capability and performance.
INNOVATION Strategy
We offer end to end Innovation Strategy, from front-end innovation to back-end commercialisation. Innovation Strategy helps you develop ideas with your customers firmly at the centre. Design products, services and experiences and solutions to business problems – always with an obsessive customer focus.
Customer Strategy
A customer-centric strategy is critical to the ongoing survival and growth of any business – and the lack of one can leave your organisation at a competitive disadvantage. Ensure your focus is on the customer experience by developing and rolling out a customer-centric strategy that secures sustainable growth and success.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Business models are expiring more rapidly and the speed of technological advancement is faster than ever. It is now more important than ever to reimagine your Business Strategy. Our evidence-based end-to-end framework helps organisations overcome the hurdles of transformation through a digital lens and with an agile growth mindset.
Employee Experience
Your human capital has the potential to be a key clear area of differentiation for your organisation . The Strategy Group can create an impactful employee experience strategy which helps you unlock the talent that already exists within and makes the brightest and best in your industry want to come and work for you.
At The Strategy Group, we have developed three innovative strategies based on the latest innovation methodologies that will transform organisations and accelerate innovation capability and performance.

Business & Digital Strategy
Reimagining your business model through a digital lens and with an agile growth mindset
Business models are expiring more rapidly, and the speed of technological change is accelerating faster than ever. We’ve seen the inevitable disruption technology has caused across all sectors and industries that have opted to stick to the status-quo.
Our end-to-end strategic framework reinforces change through a digital lens and an agile mindset to keep organisations competitive and relevant for the future. The outcome is a bold Business & Digital Strategy that creates long-lasting value for customers and stakeholders and is seamlessly embedded across the whole organisation.
venture strategy
TRANSFORM YOUR BUSINESS MODELS WITH A LEAN MINDSET
Through Venture Strategy, we define a business model to be tested, then systematically validate this model against nine key criteria with customers and in the market by rapidly prototyping ideas, experimenting with customers, receiving feedback and iterating until your organisation is ready to deliver business model transformation
Employee Experience strategy
shape a clear employee experience strategy that truly makes a difference for both employees and business outcomes.
The way employees experience work has become more important than ever before. For too long employee experience was seen as a ‘nice to have’, in part down to a lack of clearly articulated key business outcomes that are dependent on having highly motivated and supported staff.
There is a need to create more agile ways of working, trusting, and empowering employees to manage their competing priorities wisely while ensuring they are delivering on their goals. Through an Employee Experience Strategy, we can start to fortify the foundation of a culture that moves as one.
