The
Strategos Approach
Strategos
has a solid record of successful execution. Our approach
derives from experience over many projects, in many industries and in
several countries. Our work is:
-
Collaborative—We work with the client's organization not against it. Strategos
consultants build on your preexisting knowledge and experience.
In
this role they are the organizers of a discovery process rather than
fountainheads of incontrovertible knowledge.
-
Multi-Disciplinary—The tough issues cross organizational boundaries. Resolving them
requires knowledge of Marketing, Engineering, Accounting, Information
Technology and other specialties.
-
Analytical/Intuitive—Analysis shows what is or what was, but it cannot create. Intuition is
creative. Through intuition people see what could be and should be, even
things that never before existed. The
important strategic business insights are almost always intuitive.
Analysis lays the groundwork and confirms the results. Both are
required.
-
Socio-Technical—Every organization uses both technology and people. Each affects the
others in what Eric Trist dubbed a Socio-Technical
System. In the most successful organizations, people and
technology complement, not just co-exist.
-
Personal—Strategos consultants get to know their clients and vice versa.
This
contrasts with process consulting which molds every client to a standard
procedure. Often, these standardized systems are executed
by young and inexperienced people who blindly follow the system even
when it does not apply. (for examples see:
"Blitzing
To Disaster",
"Kaizen
Blitz Overdose", and
"Problems
With One Piece Flow".
