The Burkhardt & Company Approach

At Burkhardt & Company we consider strategy consulting to be a collaborative effort between our experienced consultants and members of our client’s organization. While we believe it is crucial that our advice be independent and unbiased, the process works best when the client organization is involved and included.

1. Assessment & Research
In this phase, we sit down with leaders to get a understanding of the goals and values of the company. In this initial assessment phase, we make sure that all members of the leadership team are on the same page with management as to what they believe the vision and goals are in addition to any issues. Our consultants will then asses the current position of the company in various areas including: human resources, financial, supply chain and operations, product and service offerings, industry, marketing, competition, etc.). After the assessment of each of these categories, we will produce a detailed report for client review.
2. Strategy Development
In the crucial phase of strategy development, we will utilize the information gathered in the assessment and research phase to prepare a strategy for your company. Using a variety of tools, our consultants will work with your leadership team to formulate and address an improved strategic roadmap for the company, address inefficiencies, how to deal with external pressures (competition, market, industry), strategic alternatives, and additional industry specific issues.

3. Refinement & Planning

After working with your company’s leadership team, our consultants will refine and develop the strategy in much finer detail. We can also provide strategy roadmaps for various lengths of time. In this phase, the consultants will create in-depth strategies for each business function according to the parameters of the engagement. At the conclusion, the client will receive an exhaustive report with the recommendations.
4. Implementation
Having information is only half the battle. Once equipped with the knowledge of how to improve your business, it is only useful if you put your newly developed strategic plan into action. The implementation of the strategic plan includes: change management, project management, assignment of recommended initiatives, and that is just the beginning. Implementation can often be the most involved and exhaustive phase.
