How we can help
Business Strategy
Companies today face a daunting challenge: How do you move forward at speed despite enormous uncertainty? DeCalle Group Radar Strategy uses a unique “Today Forward, Future Back” approach that allows you to create value now as you move toward your future vision, while also giving you the flexibility to adapt along the way. We’ll help you make tough choices and choreograph your transformation journey as you reinvent your core and build new growth platforms.
Micro-battles System
Most executives know the paradox: Growth creates complexity, but complexity kills growth. DeCalle Group Micro-battles System℠ creates microcosms of the nimble, responsive company you want to become—or once were—and then scales them across your organization to revive your insurgency and ensure that your size is always a benefit, not a burden.
Digital Transformation
Your company’s digital strategy must serve two masters: the present and the future. DeCalle Group Radar Strategy shows you how. Our unique “Today Forward, Future Back” approach to digital transformation puts a dual emphasis on immediate, tangible benefits and the achievement of your long-term vision. We’ll help you bring order from the chaos of your current digital efforts, assess where your industry is going in the years ahead, and decide how you will win in that digital future.
What We Believe
DeCalle Group strategy experts help clients with their most complex strategic challenges. We build tailored solutions to help clients achieve sustained growth and emphasize mobilization from day one. We begin by helping clients choose where to focus so they can out-execute and out-invest their competitors―and ultimately generate higher returns.
The strategy practice is anchored by DeCalle Group’ 5 Beliefs on Strategy
- There are few bad businesses, but many bad strategies. Outperformance depends more on market leadership and redefinition than on market selection.
- Leadership starts with a competitive advantage. Invest to “spike” only on a few critical capabilities. Trying to be good at everything makes it hard to be great at anything.
- Focus matters. Continuously reinforce the core, expand in adjacencies with a repeatable model, and prepare for long-term transformation.
- The ability to learn and adapt at speed. Learning is a source of advantage in its own right, especially during times of uncertainty.
- You can’t win on the outside if you are losing on the inside. Insurgency, frontline obsession and an owner mindset fuel growth.
Globalization, technological change, and growing economic interconnections are challenging traditional strategy approaches. Yet strategy is more necessary than ever. The frequency and speed with which leadership positions change are increasing—and the performance gap between winners and losers is widening. To beat those trends, strategists must understand, compete across, and adapt to a much broader range of strategic environments, each requiring distinct approaches and capabilities. At the heart of all business strategy is the trade-off between exploration versus exploitation.
