It is the combination of both the strategy expertise and the facilitation expertise that makes TMG unique. Exactly as the phrase "trusted advisor" suggests, TMG management consultants provide advice you can trust AND give you that advice in a way you can trust.Some management advisors will conduct analysis and in an almost prescriptive way, layout a revised strategy. TMG is different. TMG identifies with you first, what analysis has already been done and what further work, if any, is essential to informing strategy. Then we agree what analysis you will do, we will do and what is best done collaboratively. At this stage we are focussed on getting the information to the best possible standard and into the right shape to help inform your management and prepare them for a strategic discussion.
The time to discuss strategy is when the information is
assembled; when people are informed. Strategy demands a very wholistic
understanding of the relationship between influences - internal and
external. To discuss strategy requires preparation and a series of
iterative discussions. The TMG approach is to work with you and your
managers. Where some management consultants work in relative
isolation, we work very closely with you. After all, it is not our
strategy, it is yours.TMG is not just the strategy expert; we are the management facilitator. A trusted management advisor. If you have a strategic planning conference or management off site in a few months time, then TMG management consultants can really make a difference to how much you achieve.
Many of our clients prefer to develop strategy as a collective process with managers. Our role as management advisor is to help you ensure that by the time managers are working together on strategy, they have already been well and fairly fully, informed. During the strategy discussion, there should be little or no new information coming onto the table. Participants need to be up to speed prior. A good management advisor like TMG helps you and your team into that position efficiently and effectively.
What is new at the meeting is the insight that flows from working together with the information. This well informed dialogue is an opportunity to make new connections; connections for example, between changing industry structure and resource capabilities, between competitive pressures and brand positioning and so on.
Prior to your next conference or management off-site, allow us to help you gather, structure and disseminate information and prepare your people for a truly strategic experience. The goal of this preparation phase is to:
- make sure
that the right information is not just available, but also absorbed
- the most pressing issues and opportunities are universally known and already in discussion
- the Agenda for the meeting or conference is developed with 'buy in' from all and the ability to cover the necessary ground during the meeting.
With T | M | G management consultants, you can be confident: the discussion will stay strategic. All managers, including the CEO, will get to participate fully and your Agenda will be largely realized (allowing for a little flexibility at the margin).
