Red Bridge Strategy

Local knowledge is critical to global success. But the capability to promote insights from within the organization and to share intelligence on uncertainties remains underdeveloped in most companies and INGOs/IGOs.  This is a vertical problem: global is often unaware of critical regional intelligence that may have a bearing on global strategy; regions also are often unaware of global objectives.  It is even more acute horizontally: intelligence, effective tactics, and best practices are rarely shared well across geographies as organizations expand globally.

We help to systematically develop your organization's capabilities to share and act on strategic intelligence, covering a blend of the following:

• Capability audit: How is strategic intelligence shared and implemented across geographies, and what are the strengths and weaknesses of the current system?
• Intelligence workshops: The ability to use low-footprint workshops to build collaboration around critical strategic issues between regions and Global.
• Insight framework: What type of insights, risks, opportunities, and practices would be strategically essential to share across the organization?
• Cross-border communication: The capability for effective strategic communication across regions and Global, including a framework for vetting, prioritizing, and supporting insights generated in different levels of the organization.
• Implementation roadmap: A comprehensive and time-bound plan to develop an organization's capabilities in three core areas -- intelligence, insight, and communication.

Like our other offerings, our methodology is focused substantially on supporting and developing an organization's internal capabilities to perform these crucial tasks. The result is an organization that is more aware and better equipped to foster innovating strategies from within, but without a large technology overhead.
