Strategy Development & Business Case

We help articulate how sustainability and corporate responsibility fits with and enhances your core business strategy. It is about establishing the triple bottom line for your business – how profits, value and values are built on robust economic investment and environmental improvement and social equity. We help you understand and identify the opportunities and risks for your business, and build a clear vision and roadmap for its achievement.

What We Do
Through research and internal interviews, we establish your current approach and vision. We reality check these internal perceptions against our external research into the views of key stakeholders, and by benchmarking you against the competition and best practice. This gives us the inputs we need to appraise strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and work with you to articulate your own ambition. The next stages include: strategy, roadmap and accountability, including at board level.

Further Information
Our publications scope out the strategic environment for business. The following could be of particular interest: Buried Treasure, Developing Value, the latest in our Global Reporters Series, Risk & Opportunity, and The Changing Landscape of Liability.

Our Issue Briefs series also provide succinct summaries of some particular strategic challenges that face business, from Human Rights to Carbon Trading, Governance and Materiality.

Most of our case studies will involve some element of strategy review and audit as a first step. The BT Good Migrations report describes how a strategy review can be applied to a particular issue. The Starbucks and Toyota case studies provide more general background to a strategy review across the business as a whole.
