Strategic Training Programs

As seasoned management consultants, we've delivered strategic advice in compelling slides countless times. Our advice has been sound, not because of superior operational skills or industry-specific knowledge, but thanks to our "strategic skills". These include the ability to analyze data for impact, maintain an outside-in perspective for focus and prioritization, and apply structured, adaptable frameworks to solve problems.

Here's the twist: these skills can be learned. So, instead of providing sound advice, we're offering training programs to empower your organization with these essential strategic skills.

Expert Fundraising Support

These same strategic skills are crucial in one key aspect of the entrepreneurial journey: fundraising. Often, it requires a pitch deck, and we've seen many incredible entrepreneurs, passionate about their solutions and deeply immersed in the operations of their business, struggle with it. With so little time to perfect the pitch and lacking an outside perspective, founders often end up with overly detailed presentations that fail to highlight the most critical points.

We can help with that. We also excel in the data analysis needed to support your narrative. From market and competitive analyses to financial modeling, we've got you covered.

STRATEGIC TRAINING PROGRAMS

Empower your organization with essential strategic skills

Would you like to solve your strategic problems without the prohibitive costs of hiring consultants? Are you concerned that proposed strategies might fail during implementation? Consider training your team in the "consulting toolkit" instead. Here’s why it may work better for you:

Cost-effective

Typical consulting projects can span months and cost six or seven figures. Our training programs, however, require minimal prework, a day or a few days of training sessions, and personalized follow-up—saving you both time and money.

Sustainable

Your team learns to solve problems independently. They don’t get a pre-cooked solution; they acquire the skills to devise strategies in-house, making future challenges easier to tackle.

Empowering

Developing your team boosts morale and serves as a valuable perk. Investing in your people is an investment in your organization’s future.

Culturally aligned

Internal teams create strategies they can implement, tailored to fit the company’s culture. This ensures smoother transitions and more effective change management.

FEATURED CASE STUDIES

Client success stories: How our trainings transform client outcomes

  • Challenge:

    At an EdTech startup, three different departments were collecting data on prospective students, admitted students, and graduate outcomes. They conducted data analysis twice a year and sought to streamline and improve this process.

    ————

    Our initial review revealed several issues:

    • Siloed data: Each department's data processes were isolated, making comparisons difficult

    • Misaligned data collection: Much of the data collected was not aligned with business-critical questions and lacked hypothesis-driven analysis.

    • Analytical errors: Mistakes in data analysis and interpretation were common.

    • Lost insights: Important insights were often missed because data wasn't analyzed over time or segmented effectively.

    ————

    Solution: During our training sessions, we:

    • Highlighted errors in the current processes.

    • Devised a plan to address these issues collaboratively.

    • Shared best practices for better data collection, especially in surveys.

    • Demonstrated how to analyze data more efficiently and tie it to business objectives.

    ————

    Outcome: The EdTech startup now has a streamlined, cohesive data analysis process that generates actionable insights aligned with their strategic goals.

  • Challenge:

    A boutique consultancy specializing in culture advisory lacked expertise in financial modeling. When asked by a client to model the payback of different project phases, they struggled despite having some prior financial training.

    ————

    The team had some understanding of financial concepts but struggled to apply them to their specific context. They needed guidance on:

    • Rate differences: Understanding hurdle rate, discount rate, and internal rate of return (IRR).

    • Valuation methods: When and how to use net present value (NPV) and IRR methods.

    • Terminal value: Treating terminal value in different project phases.

    • Cashflow waterfalls: Building a cashflow waterfall for the project owner, creditors, and investors.

    ————

    Solution: Using the specific project as a case study, we:

    • Clarified concepts, explaining the differences between hurdle rate, discount rate, and IRR, and their appropriate uses.

    • Taught them when and how to use NPV and IRR for project valuation.

    • Demonstrated how to treat terminal value in various project phases.

    • Guided them through building a cash flow waterfall.

    ————

    Outcome: The consultancy can now confidently build detailed financial models, enhancing its service offerings and meeting client demands more effectively.
