SparkOptimus did an excellent job in supporting us to write our end-to-end strategy and facilitated us to change our mindset on fundamental discussions. The whole process was very enjoyable, and we are excited to start executing on our new strategy.
We in-depth analyzed the changing external and internal context, including value chain, customer needs, legislation and cost structure, to identify and prioritize key strategic opportunities. We supported the board members in articulating a clear strategy forward for current business opportunities as well through a joint MT workshop to identify disruptive opportunities for long-term growth. Together, this resulted in a detailed and actionable corporate strategy, with various political and legislative scenarios.
Take the insights with you
We delivered a clear and widely supported corporate strategy that enables NLO to further grow in commercial result and societal impact. We were able to create a proactive mindset in the MT towards a future and long term vision for the company, including identification of high-level impact corporate structure and governance.
