Behavioral Strategy

In classic strategic work, the main focus is on thinking about the business model, further developing a company’s existing core competencies and establishing and developing markets and products. This reflective work is generally conducted at a top management level and is often accompanied by large-scale strategic consultancy. These consultancy processes, assisted by a large amount of external market expertise and the relevant data collections, often fail to take the company’s history and the very specific individual view of the company’s reality into account.

The thought processes within the company are not only fed by data and facts worth combining. They are, of course, also influenced by the personalities and team environment of the top management team, as well as the cultural and historic background of the company. Corporate intuition and gut instinct similarly play a key role but are neglected in classic strategy work. We therefore frequently receive enquiries when the plans are on the table but the implementation process does not seem to work and the new strategy cannot get off the ground. NAGEL & COMPANY integrates these partly emotional, partly irrational and partly historic or even biographic aspects into the strategic process, thus creating an implementable and accepted corporate strategy.

Do not let it happen anylonger that your strategy silters or fails.

In applying these 4 steps within the Behavioral Strategy Framework your strategic capability will develop significantly.

Measurable Results

As every CEO knows, the costs of poor management, inefficient management teams, unsuccessful approaches, a lack of succession plans and cultural difficulties cannot be calculated, but are extremely high. A lot of energy is wasted at companies by not broaching difficult interpersonal and cultural issues.

Political behaviour and the pursuit of personal interests, as well as failure to deal with antagonism and fears, lead to false priorities, a loss of efficiency and a lack of performance, as well as the costs of unsuccessful consultancy. NAGEL & COMPANY is often called in when traditional consultancy projects are beginning to fail.

Psychoanalytical corporate consultancy is either conducted by an individual consultant or by a small group of 2-3 consultants, depending on the issue and the size of the team and the company.

The costs of this approach are more reasonable than those of a large consultancy process, particularly in light of the incalculable costs of non-functioning management teams. Our projects are completely tailored to customer needs and can be terminated at short notice at any time.
