Strategy Development and Operationalisation

Our strategy development and implementation portfolio cover:

• Developing new strategies
• Conducting strategy refresh
• Developing result frameworks and work plans
•  Supporting implementation at the early stages, including building the technical capacity of staff/ teams as may be needed to deliver.

Our strategy development approach seeks to oversee a process of high consultation and collaboration, exploiting synergies while minimizing duplication. We are keen on creating a strategic plan that is fully owned, and which embodies the current trends in agriculture and related fields. Our experience has taught us that ownership of a strategy is critical to its successful implementation; and ownership does not happen if the strategy development is delegated to a consultant – as often happens. In order to create full ownership, we ensure that the strategic plan is co-created by a task team consisting of principal stakeholders of the institution concerned, supported by the external facilitating consultant team. Our process also consists of a combination of data/information analysis (internal & external) and the collation and synthesis of expert stakeholder opinions and validation to inform the strategy document.
