Strategy and Policy Development

‘Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat’. Sun Tzu 

Policy sets the long term intentions, and strategy lays out the plans. Our input embraces understanding the core issues and context; helping think through different options; and getting everything written down.

Our work here includes:

• Devising and implementing strategic planning and management processes
• Developing and supporting the evidence base with social, economic and market analysis and benchmarking
• Stakeholder engagement
