Business Consulting
Clear strategy that drives sustainable growth
Strategic consulting for companies that need direction clarity: strategic planning, organizational diagnosis, organizational structure design. Executable strategy that aligns teams and generates measurable results, not PowerPoint that stays in drawers.
Why do 67% of strategies fail in execution?
Having strategy is not the problem; executing it is. Most strategic plans fail because: they are too generic without concrete actions, not effectively communicated to entire organization, not translated to individual objectives, not monitored with discipline, or organizational structure is not aligned to strategy.
No strategic direction clarity
Executive team without consensus on priorities. Each area pushing its agenda. Resources scattered across 20 initiatives without clear focus.
Stagnant or declining growth
Business that doesn't grow at expected rate or is losing ground vs competition. No clear plan on how to reverse situation.
Misaligned organizational structure
Organizational chart that doesn't support strategy. Confusing roles, departmental silos, lack of ownership of strategic initiatives.
Strategic plan in drawer without execution
They have a nice strategic plan in PowerPoint but no one executes it. No cascade to operational objectives or disciplined follow-up.
Alternative develops executable strategy and supports implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Depends on service: Complete strategic planning: 2-4 months development + 6-12 months support. Organizational diagnosis: 3-6 weeks. Organizational design: 6-10 weeks. Factors: organization size, situation complexity, current team alignment level, urgency. Free initial diagnosis evaluates situation, defines appropriate scope and develops personalized proposal.
We offer both models according to client need: (1) Plan development only: We develop strategy, deliver it, client team executes internally. (2) Development + support: We develop strategy AND support execution 6-12 months with monthly monitoring meetings, leadership coaching, adjustments according to evolution. Model 2 has significantly higher success rate (3X probability of executing vs just delivering plan).
Three key differentiators: (1) Focus on SMEs and medium companies: Large consultancies (McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte) work with Fortune 500. Alternative specializes in $5M-$100M revenue companies where strategy is equally critical but budget is limited. (2) Affordable price: Large strategic consulting: $200K-$500K+. Alternative: $25K-$100K according to scope. (3) Practical implementation: Large consultancies deliver 200-slide PowerPoint. Alternative delivers executable plan AND supports implementation. Difference: strategy that executes vs strategy that stays in drawer.
Highly collaborative model. Alternative does NOT develop strategy in ivory tower and present it. Process is co-creation with client leadership: strategic workshops where team actively participates, deep interviews with key stakeholders, continuous validation of findings and recommendations. Reason: ownership. Strategy that team helped develop has 5X more probability of executing than externally imposed strategy. Team time: 3-4 full days in workshops + interviews + reviews. It's significant investment but strategy that defines next 3-5 years justifies dedication.
Five mechanisms: (1) Rigorous cascade: Strategy translates to departmental and individual objectives. (2) Monitoring system: Disciplined monthly strategy review meetings. (3) Clear KPIs: Specific metrics per objective, no ambiguity. (4) Defined ownership: Each initiative has owner with accountability. (5) Alternative support: First 6-12 months we facilitate meetings, monitor, adjust, coaching. Without disciplined follow-up, 90% of plans fail. With follow-up, success rate rises to 70-80%.
Critical moments where strategic plan is most valuable: (1) Leadership transitions (new CEO, generational succession), (2) Stagnant or declining growth (you need to reverse situation), (3) Significant market changes (new competition, technological disruption, regulation), (4) Growth milestones (before major expansion, entry to new markets, fundraising), (5) Post-merger/acquisition (integrate companies with unified strategy). If company operates "on autopilot" without clear direction, moment is NOW.
