Think in Strategy

At inStrategy, we teach leaders the importance of taking the long view—of thinking strategically, not tactically. For the leaders we serve, this perspective shift is the first of countless aha moments.

inStrategy’s leadership development curriculum is specifically designed for those leaders intent upon creating companies that last. Unlike their more conventional counterparts, our leaders are compelled to be their best.

Our holistic leadership development methodology focuses on the big-picture. It treats leaders as complete individuals—both inside and outside their professional roles. Through expert and peer mentorship, the leaders we serve come away from the process, not just better leaders, but better people as well. They learn the importance of long-term planning over short-term crisis management, and how profitable such an approach can be. After all, if you get bogged down in tactics you can’t succeed in a fast-paced market.

The Process

Our process is one of optimization. We guide each leader through four progressive stages, meticulously identifying opportunities to turn weaknesses into strengths, strengths into revenue, revenue into reinvestment, and reinvestment into growth. It is a cyclical process that can be entered at any phase and repeated to further optimize the potential of a leader and his or her company.
