We begin with a simple thesis: Society is in the formative stages of a global knowledge age that is changing everything. Profoundly networked technology, shared knowledge, and fierce global competition are reshaping the patterns and cadences of every industry, profession, and initiative. Not all these changes are obvious or desirable, but they are inexorable. The knowledge age marketplace requires fresh approaches to everything: leadership, vision, strategy, business processes and practices, products and services, facilities, innovations, and relationships/experiences.  Enterprises must be more nimble, innovative, and focused on their performance and the value they deliver if they are to compete and thrive in a global economy.

Strategic Initiatives is the consulting organization that can help your enterprise meet these challenges.  For the past 20 years, we have been guiding clients in preparing themselves for success in dramatically changing, competitive marketplaces.  Through the efforts of Donald M. Norris and our network of seasoned associates, we have established ourselves as thought leaders in the how and why of enterprise transformation and performance improvement. We have supported transformative change through a continuously evolving suite of developmental consulting services.  These services empower our clients to lead and navigate organizational change, solve problems, foster innovation, and enhance the capacities and performance of individuals, teams, and organizations.  Strategic Initiatives has literally written the book on how to build performance, value, and competitive advantage by turning data into information, analysis, action, and hence success.

Strategic Initiatives interprets the latest trends in the transformation imperative, and works with clients to co-create fresh strategies, solutions, decisions, and actions specific to each enterprise.  These initiatives can produce previously unattainable value propositions for customers and stakeholders.  Our new breed of developmental consulting services will yield short-term success. They will also help to build organizational capacity along four dimensions critical to long-term competitiveness in the knowledge age marketplace: technology, information, analytics, and an energized, responsive organizational culture.  Our Services will help clients to create indispensable products and services in demand by the global marketplace.  Strategic Initiatives will help you to build competitive advantage, for today and into the future.
