Strategy implementation consulting: from strategy paper to results every quarter
Our strategy implementation consulting turns your strategy into 3–5 initiatives, company OKRs and a steering rhythm your organisation can run. Teams from every level, function and location do the work with us – so results show up quarter by quarter, and the routine stays when we leave.
How our strategy implementation consulting works
Four steps that build on each other. Leadership decides, teams from across the organisation shape and deliver, and a simple rhythm keeps everybody on course.
Clarify the strategy
A prep session and short interviews. Where do you want to be, and what has to be true to get there? The result fits on one page.
Translate it
In a leadership workshop the strategy becomes 3–5 initiatives and company OKRs, each with a sponsor and an owner.
Mobilise the teams
Selected people from all levels, functions and locations form the initiative teams. A joint kick-off gives them purpose, scope and room to decide.
Steer every quarter
Check-ins, a monthly steering meeting and a quarterly review and planning workshop. We coach your people until the rhythm runs without us.
The first two quarters of strategy implementation
A typical plan. In the briefing we adapt it to your situation and agree how you will measure success.
| QUARTER 1 | How we work |
|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | Prep session with the CEO, interviews, the strategy on one page. |
| Week 3 | Leadership workshop: 3–5 initiatives, company OKRs, sponsors and owners. |
| Week 4 | Kick-off with the initiative teams from across the organisation. |
| Weeks 5–12 | Initiative work in short sprints, weekly check-ins, a monthly steering meeting. |
| Week 13 | Quarterly review: results, learnings, what scales and what stops. |
| QUARTER 2 | How we work |
|---|---|
| Week 1 | Planning workshop: OKRs for the next quarter, adjusted to what you learned. |
| Ongoing | Teams run their check-ins; we coach owners and the OKR champions. |
| Monthly | Steering meeting with leadership: decisions, resources, blockers. |
| Mid-quarter | Short health check: focus, progress and engagement. |
| End of quarter | Review and handover: your team runs the rhythm on its own. |
When strategy implementation consulting pays off
- The strategy is agreed, but daily work still follows last year’s priorities.
- Too many initiatives compete for the same people and budget.
- Leadership wants teams to own the strategy, not just receive it.
- Growth, efficiency or transformation programmes stall after the kick-off.
- You are introducing OKRs and want them tied to real strategic priorities.
Results you can measure
- Focus: 3–5 initiatives instead of a long list.
- Ownership: a sponsor and an owner for every initiative and Objective.
- Rhythm: check-ins, steering and reviews in the calendar.
- Capability: internal OKR champions who keep the routine running.
- Formats to start with: our strategy execution workshop or, for growth and cost topics, the growth strategy workshop and cost reduction workshop by our partners at Stryke Consulting.

Questions about strategy implementation consulting
What is strategy implementation consulting?
Strategy implementation consulting helps an organisation turn an agreed strategy into results. With us that means: a few clear initiatives, company OKRs, teams from across the organisation doing the work, and a steering rhythm that keeps the strategy alive every quarter.
How is this different from a strategy workshop?
A strategy workshop ends with decisions. Strategy implementation consulting starts there and stays with you for one or two quarters, until the routine runs on its own. Many clients begin with a workshop and add the implementation support afterwards.
Do we need OKR experience?
No. We train the leadership team and the initiative teams in a shared OKR language and coach the owners through their first cycles.
Who takes part from our side?
The leadership team as sponsors and decision makers, plus selected people from different levels, functions and locations in the initiative teams. They know customers and processes best, and they deliver the results.
How long does it take?
Typically two quarters: one to set up and run the first cycle, one to hand over. Every module can be booked on its own.
