RUNG STRATEGY
From smart operators to strategic leaders: a blend of consulting and training
What’s slowing your business growth?
Too Few Driving Strategy
In most growing companies, strategy is driven by a few senior leaders. Yet across the team, smart, capable and deeply knowledgeable people are ready to contribute more. How can bottlenecks at the top of the company be avoided?
Team Unsure How To Contribute
Many know they could add value beyond their current role. What they lack isn’t motivation, but the confidence and capability to shape strategy, build and implement initiatives, and take ownership.
Opportunities requiring strategic thinking
Your business has promising untapped growth opportunities, potential to explore new business models, innovation and customers, but does not want to risk wasting time and money on expensive failures.
Until now, you had only a few options
