Practice area 05

Strategy

Plans that survive contact with the next decade.

Situation assessed honestly, scenarios modeled, priorities tested against mission — then a calendar with owners, so the plan does not become a binder.

Strategic planning/ Market & positioning/ Benchmarking & market intelligence

Strategic planning

Strategic plan

A situation assessment across market, financial, and operational realities; scenario models; mission-tested priorities; an implementation calendar with named owners; and board adoption materials.

Project

Annual plan refresh & accountability

A quarterly plan-to-actual review, a priority rebalancing memo, and board progress reporting that keeps the plan live between retreats.

Extended

Market & positioning

Repositioning & market study

Demand and competitor analysis, unit-mix and contract-type strategy across Type A/B/C, price-point positioning, and a phasing recommendation.

Project

Affiliation, M&A & strategic options

A strategic-options framework spanning stand-alone, affiliate, merge, and divest; partner screening criteria; a financial impact model; due-diligence coordination; and a board decision memo. Advisory to the board only — investment bankers are engaged separately when a transaction proceeds.

Project

Benchmarking & market intelligence

Annual CCRC financial ratios brief

A yearly benchmark brief covering liquidity, profitability, and capital-structure ratios against published CCRC medians, with a client-specific overlay showing where you actually sit.
