It is a highly professionally designed and facilitated structured process including, over the course of one week, finely targeted company visits, meetings with senior executives, topical presentations, daily debriefings, thinkshops and other activities. By immersing themselves into a foreign environment, by discussing with peers at companies mostly outside of their field, by assimilating new information, the participants can take a healthy distance and, with the appropriate help and guidance, design together the future of their company.

A Strategic Expedition® is designed to allow boards, executive committees and executive teams to work on strategic issues, such as:

• Developing a vision
• Inventing new business models
• Transforming the company: For instance to become more customer centric, to create more value, to become more nimble and to foster innovation.
• Rethinking the positionning: Are we still in the right space?
• Creating a com mon corporate culture: How to develop a sense of belonging to a group and a new identity.

It is a defining moment in the life of a company or of a division. It is a high-energy, paradigm-shifting week, which can achieve what traditional consulting could not accomplish alone: how often does a whole executive group spend together a whole week to go to the bottom of an issue and redefine its mental perspective and its practices?

A Strategic Expedition® can be a standalone one-time event, or can be integrated into a larger change process.
