Over the years, we
have ‘bumped into’ a number of highly qualified
consultants who share our enthusiasm for collaborative tools
and approaches, and have allowed us to build a virtual
network of consulting partners. These partners
have their own consulting organizations, clients and
interests, but have specific skills that can be called into
play in supporting large ASC or ASL engagements. Often
times they will use the ASL process for their clients and
invite in our facilitation skills and support, and often times
we find the reverse: that their skills and resources can
add to one of our client engagements. We value these relationships and will continue to build up our set of
virtual consultants that have experience and genuine interest
in supporting the Advanced Strategy Lab approach.
Current Advanced Strategy Center consulting partners are
listed below, along with a description of their core
consulting expertise and their contact information.
