Advisory Services
Business Strategy
A defined engagement with a decision-ready output, not a document that describes what everyone already knew.
Who it is for
Three Kinds of Client.
Indigenous-owned businesses deciding where to concentrate: which lines to grow, which to close, and what capability has to exist first.
Economic development corporations weighing a portfolio: which ventures to back, how to structure them, and how to balance return against employment and community benefit when those pull in different directions.
Industry clients where the strategic question is specifically about Indigenous partnership, procurement, or market position in Western Canada.
Engagements
The Work We Take On.
Strategic Plan
A multi-year plan with priorities, sequencing, and the resourcing each one actually needs.
Venture Assessment
Should this business exist? An honest read on market, capability, capital, and realistic return.
Portfolio Review
Across an economic development corporation's holdings: what to grow, what to fix, what to exit, and in what order.
Growth Strategy
For an existing business at a ceiling: where the next stage of growth actually comes from.
Governance Design
Separating ownership from board and management, so commercial decisions can be made commercially.
Capital Strategy
How ventures get funded: own-source revenue, debt, partnership capital, or programs.
Deliverables
What a Strategy Engagement Produces.
| Deliverable | Detail |
|---|---|
| Written strategy | The plan itself: priorities, sequencing, resourcing, and what is explicitly not being pursued |
| Financial model | Base and downside cases, with the assumptions visible and open to challenge |
| Implementation roadmap | Actions with owners and dates, so the strategy has a clear first stage |
| Board or council presentation | Delivered in person, in a form that supports an actual decision |
