Consulting
Strategy
Does your business plan guide how you allocate resources, how do you assess if your business units are rightly funded or under resourced? Can everyone in your team articulate your strategy and are they empowered to execute on it? At LeGarde Burnett, we believe that strategy is much more than a plan. Our strategy consultants help clients with their most complex business challenges and help them develop strategies that produce results. We work collaboratively and help build functional capabilities into your team and mobilise them for change. We build bespoke solutions to help clients achieve sustained growth we do that by forming consensus among various business units and help steer their course on to a common path. We begin by helping clients choose where to focus so they can out-execute and out-invest their competitors and ultimately generate higher returns.
Organisation
We believe an effective organisation can give companies the edge that sets them apart from the competition. They make better decisions, make them more quickly and execute them more effectively. And they don't spend too much or too little effort in the process. At LeGarde Burnett we work jointly with our clients, we start with a focus on which decisions matter most to overall performance. Small, everyday decisions can matter as much as big strategic ones. We then build integrated organisational systems that are explicitly geared to support these key decisions. We go beyond the "hard" issues of structure, roles and processes to address the "soft" elements such as people, behaviour and culture. Our ultimate objective is to embed new capabilities and repeatable processes so that people at all levels can decide and deliver, again and again.

We work with teams across all levels of the organisation to ensure that our client companies capture the identified benefits, bank the savings, and build the internal capabilities to keep on improving performance long after our engagement ends.
