frequently asked questions

you say you're asking questions?

I do. A lot. To my mind, asking the right questions clearly outvalues finding the “correct answers”.

I don't believe in The Way when it comes to long term strategy development. There is no such thing as a best practice for all to follow. What might be perfect for my organisation, will probably not suit yours.

My services (and methods) reflect this.

market analysis
looking at the effects of change in view of how an existing company can find niches to be successful in
business opportunities
focusing on changes in the economic value chains that arises out of new paradigms
political, societal, and ethical consequences
especially in view of the latter years' accelerating technologies

And as a base for all this, I help you embrace uncertainty and incorporate it into all strategy work, never shying away from even the most disturbing "What if's ... "

who can testify that you know what you're talking about?

Have a look at the services section. In the sidebars you'll find some testimonials. Have a look at those. If you need others, don't hesitate to ask. I'll even tell you about the few that haven't been entirely positive ...
