Strategic perspectives on corporate strategy, procurement, digital transformation, executive transitions, and the 28-day mandate model from Curtis Ridge Advisory.
Featured Insights
- Why Most Strategy Engagements Fail at Implementation — The problem is the mandate, not the strategy. Most advisory engagements produce rigorous analysis but no clear mandate for action.
- Procurement Is a Strategic Function — Most organisations treat procurement like a cost centre. The best ones treat it as a source of competitive advantage.
- The Case for 28 Days — Why shorter engagements produce better strategy. Speed forces clarity; clarity enables action.
- The First 90 Days Are Strategic, Not Operational — Incoming leaders who treat the first 90 days as a listening tour miss the window to set strategic direction.
- What "Board-Ready" Actually Means — A Board-ready recommendation is not a polished slide deck. It is a structured argument that enables a decision.
