Future-proof your consulting with exclusive tools and methods
The Consulting Landscape Has Changed — Have You?
The world of consulting is shifting. Leaders don’t want more slide decks or “best practice” advice. They want partners who can co-create strategy with them, challenge their thinking, and guide execution.
Yet most consultants are stuck in an old paradigm:
-
Analysis-based advice is losing value. Classic strategy reports can be found online or generated by AI in minutes. Consulting is one of the most disrupted industry from AI.
-
Clients expect more. Leaders want facilitators and coaches who help shape strategy with them — not hand them another binder of recommendations.
-
Traditional frameworks aren’t enough. Porter, SWOT, and the classics are commoditized. What leaders crave are fresh, human-centered tools that actually unlock clarity and alignment.
If you continue with the old model, you risk being seen as replaceable. If you embrace this new role, as a Strategy & Implementation Consultant, you position yourself as a strategic partner.

What Participants Say
Nicola Graham
Strategy Consultant
Having completed an Executive MBA programme, I joined Strategy Inc. seeking a practical strategy design programme.
The second module on implementation coaching was particularly appealing, as implementing strategy is key to achieving a business's ambitions.
The clear framework, diverse tools, and human-centric approach were enlightening, allowing me to apply the learning in real-life scenarios.
Thank you to the Strategy Inc. team! I look forward to being part of this forward-thinking programme's Alumni community.
Omer Saeed
Strategy Consultant
I joined the CSIC program after following Jeroen and seeing his unique, thought-provoking approach to strategy.
CSIC stands out for blending personal experiences with the interplay between individual and organizational needs.
I also appreciated the respectful encouragement to use cameras, which boosted interaction and comprehension compared to other online programs.
Andrea Cañon
Talent Consultant
I've identified strategy and value-creation as essential in every business conversation, but the challenge is embedding them in daily work to drive progress.
The CSIC program provided a structured methodology and tools to develop a consultative, value-added, and whole-person approach, bridging this gap effectively.
It's been an enriching experience, not just from the knowledge gained but also from shared insights with like-minded professionals.
Srikanth PV
Founder
The starting point for my Change Leadership firm is strategy, so I joined the CSIC program to build pragmatic skills. Jeroen and Tim's complementary expertise covers the full value chain from strategy to implementation, and I can apply the knowledge to build my firm’s strategy.
The program connects participants from diverse backgrounds, fostering relationships that extend beyond the sessions. It recognizes leadership challenges as adaptive, blending cognition and emotion, making its inclusion of both strategy and implementation a key USP.
