FIRM DESCRIPTION

For businesses to survive, they have to practice ‘open innovation’. This means looking outside a traditionally small number of strategic partners to discover what’s possible. We’re not just talking about this, we’re helping our clients actually do it in practice.

With access to over 900 professionals internationally, Stratagem Partners offers our clients independent thinking and the ability to find effective and creative approaches to their most complex, unstructured problems. We know businesses demand a trusted advisor that is flexible and provides relevant advice at a strategic, management and operational level. Our clients benefit from Stratagem Partners’ intellectual rigor, industry expertise and track record in navigating today’s dynamic business environments.

No two client challenges are ever the same. All our strategy work is unique and reflects the exact needs of our clients – we don’t do boilerplate solutions. Our strategy work is anchored in research, experience and the feasibility of our recommendations.

Our expertise spans economics & finance, data analytics & statistics as well as public policy in many of the major industry sectors of our economy including:

• asset & wealth management
• banking
• healthcare
• insurance
• information technology
• life sciences
• manufacturing
• the public sector

Every organization has diverse needs. Increasingly, we have seen the value of offering our clients multiple engagement model options. We tailor our delivery models to fit with client-specific business needs. Our expert-driven client engagement model is unique and designed to ensure you can achieve measurable value for your business.

With the right opportunity, we are happy to ‘put our money where our mouth is’ and discuss real partnership models, where both the client and Stratagem Partners benefit from the value we create together.

In addition to traditional fee models, we are open to outcome-based contracts where we exchange fees for savings, revenue or equity. We are happy to consider risk share where we can create true win-win relationships.
