WE TURN ideas
into reality

We co-create practical strategies that add value and make positive impacts… We foster ownership, make sure that solutions are deliverable and set up for success.

Trust us to work with you!

ABOUT strat-edgy

We support leaders who need to make big changes fast: Chief Executives, senior civil servants, Chief Technology Officers, Chief Operating Officers and Strategy Directors.



They value our expertise and skills to kickstart change or drive programmes that either need to start or are struggling to have an impact.



They often have a lack of depth, or resource, to take a programme to the next level.


 
We offer an independent perspective on their challenges. They might not have the right blend of skills within their teams or they worry about a programme’s chances of success, within a tight timeframe. We help identify bottlenecks, kick-start their strategic direction and build a lasting, and substantial improvement, in performance.
 


Our work with clients goes beyond offering advice. We diagnose the problems they face, followed by a set of actionable recommendations of what  they should do next. We’re then by their side, throughout the journey: from early vision and strategy development, through to business case ‘thinking’ and the hard yards of delivery and beyond.

strat-edgy offers business, technology, and estate transformation services, providing practical and creative solutions. We co-design strategic solutions with you, ensuring ownership and follow-through. Our expertise and capabilities come from our experience in designing, managing, constructing, maintaining, and digitally supporting infrastructure and property-related assets, as enablers of transformation.

At strat-edgy, we tailor our approach to each client’s unique requirements, ensuring our services deliver maximum value and lasting impact.

Partner led, with strong teams hand-picked for their relevant sector or technical know-how, we co-create sustainable strategies that make a real difference.
