Strategic Advisory

Clarity for complex decisions. Structure for long-term priorities.

​

Institutions often have the right vision, but not the strategic bandwidth to move key files forward. Leadership teams are pulled into day-to-day demands, and important projects stall because they cross departments, require external alignment, or need sustained, senior-level focus.

​

Strategos provides ongoing strategic advisory support to help organizations bring momentum, clarity, and structure to their most important initiatives.

​

We work with governments, universities, sector councils, non-profits, and economic development organizations that need an experienced, independent partner to help shape priorities and deliver strategic outcomes.

What We Do

Strategic advisory designed for high-impact work.

  • Strategy Design & Long-Term Planning

    • Aligning vision, goals, and execution across teams and stakeholders.

  • Capital & Investment Advisory

    • Supporting economic development, financing programs, and investment strategy.

  • Program Architecture & Evaluation

    • Designing new initiatives, ensuring they are measurable, practical, and grounded in real outcomes.

  • Governance & Decision-Making Frameworks

    • Clarifying roles, processes, accountability, and strategic alignment.

  • Executive Advisory

    • Providing senior-level thought partnership to CEOs, Deputy Ministers, Executive Directors, and Boards.

  • Cross-Department / Cross-Sector Coordination

    • Helping organizations move complex files that require alignment across multiple actors.

 

This work is not consulting in the traditional sense. It is ongoing senior advisory built on context, judgment, and trusted presence.

​

How We Help

 

A partner in clarity, not complexity. Organizations work with Strategos when they need:

  • Momentum on strategic files that are stuck

  • Independent, high-quality thinking

  • A trusted advisor who brings calm structure

  • A senior partner without adding full-time headcount

  • Support navigating political, operational, or cross-sector complexity

  • The ability to execute strategy with confidence

 

We complement internal teams — not replace them — providing the strategic capacity required to deliver long-term priorities.

​

Engagement Structure

 

Flexible, long-term support tailored to your priorities. Most institutional clients work with Strategos through a retainer-based advisory relationship, typically involving:

  • A defined annual mandate

  • Quarterly priorities and deliverables

  • Monthly or bi-weekly working sessions

  • On-call strategic support for emerging issues

  • A collaborative approach with internal leadership and teams

 

This structure ensures continuity, focus, and steady progress on the work that matters most.

​

Who We Work With

 

Strategos supports institutions and organizations including:

  • Provincial and municipal governments

  • Economic development agencies

  • Universities and post-secondary institutions

  • Sector councils and industry associations

  • Foundations and large non-profits

  • Public-sector organizations navigating change or growth

 

Our experience spans policy, economic development, succession and continuity, capital programs, governance, and strategic planning.
