What is a Strategy Audit?
Strategies are ideas and information distilled into a plan of action that has at its core a set of choices that have been or should be made. Which customers, which markets, which technologies, and so on.
A comprehensive StrategyAudit is the first step towards sustainable performance improvement
An audit is a post activity review of things that have happened, comparing the actual to the planned.

The objective is simple: Sustainable Performance Improvement for your business.

How will you re-harness the power of psychological ownership?
Increasingly we do not own things. That lack of ownership discourages brand loyalty and makes defining the boundaries of a contested market all that much harder to do in a way that reflects the psychology of potential customers.
