Stratex plus
About us, what we do
We address the perennial problem of strategies developed but not implemented, opportunities missed, value unrealised and potential untapped.
In countless academic and business studies, more than 80% of organisations rate themselves as poor or very poor at strategy implementation. Alarmingly, this figure has remained more or less consistent over the last 3 decades.
The simple fact is, most strategies developed are never, or only partially implemented.
This is why we exist.
We help companies make their strategy understood, implementable and realised. We provide investors, business leaders and owners with the knowledge, skills, tools, capability and capacity to translate their vision and strategy into focused, impactful actions that deliver measurable performance improvement and increased shareholder value.
We bring strategy to life, driving execution and delivering transformed performance.
We create value.
