Most companies don't have a strategy problem. They have a decision vacuum — and they've been filling it with plans.
A five-year plan, a reorg, a new set of quarterly goals — it looks better for a season, then the same drift comes back through the walls. I work as a fractional Chief Strategy Officer for Saskatchewan companies that are past ad hoc decision-making but not ready for a full-time executive hire. We fix the foundation first, then build a plan your own people can actually run.
Plenty of debate, no senior owner — so direction shifts with whoever spoke last in the room.
A strategy firm hands you a deck; it doesn't own what happens after. Without someone accountable from your side of the table, you're paying for analysis, not decisions.
A $250,000+ commitment for a role you may need two days a week — and finding senior talent that fits can be difficult.
Every engagement begins the same way: getting clear on who you're for, what you stand for, and why anyone should care.
A focused four-to-six-week diagnostic: stakeholder interviews, a hard look at your market and position, a strategic brief, and a twelve-month roadmap. Fixed fee, defined finish line.
One to two days a week, embedded as your strategy lead. I own the strategic plan, keep your teams aligned to it, and sit at the leadership table.
For companies with capable leadership who need a senior thinking partner. A monthly working session, on-call counsel, and a quarterly plan review.
Leading strategic planning, growth, and organizational change across the industries that actually run this province — so I see what matters quickly and set a clear direction.
I don't just build the plan — I build your people's ability to run it. Your leaders get sharper at making the calls themselves. When the engagement ends, the thinking stays.
Most costly strategic mistakes don't come from bad execution — they come from skipping the foundation. Thirty minutes, no pitch deck. Bring your hardest decision on the table right now — I'll tell you what it would take to make it with confidence.
