Your success is our success
StrategyWorks was designed help create a simple, single view of your strategy no matter how large or complex your organisation. It was first conceived through our background of business strategy and transformation consulting, where we focused on helping clients create and execute industry leading strategies.
That expertise and experience has been poured with care and love in to StrategyWorks.
The StrategyWorks story
StrategyWorks has been built by our team at Shapecast. We are UK-based strategy and enterprise architecture specialists, who have been working in strategic change and transformation for leading brands for over a decade.
For many years, we provided specialist strategy execution advisory and data-driven consulting to help our clients create effective but simple strategies that could be measured and improved.
In the course of consulting, we saw many organisations and leadership teams struggle to create a single view of all delivery, but more importantly to be able to link their portfolio to objectives.
We saw project teams using agile and traditional delivery tools but few, if any organisations could understand how everything came together to support business objectives and outcomes. This was and is a huge challenge for most leadership teams to know what is adding value but also staff working in projects who want to understand their impact and contribution.
All the traditional project and program tools are good at the project level, but never answer the big question of so what?
So in frustration, we decided to create StrategyWorks to help organisations, create a beautiful, single view of their strategy, and most importantly, to link delivery to objectives in real time, so everyone can see the big picture and focus on what really matters.
By creating StrategyWorks, we help organisations to manage the complexity themselves and to really get to grips with what is adding value so that they don't have to custom build management information layers and the complexity and cost that goes with it.
We now focus on helping clients to get their data integrated in to StrategyWorks so that they can unlock the value from the projects and focus on achieving more. If you would like to see how StrategyWorks can help you, please speak to a product specialist.
Our network accredited global and specialist partners help clients to create strategic alignment and focus on executing their strategy. If you are interested in becoming a StrategyWorks partner, please apply here.
