The scope of every engagement is tailored to the client’s needs. One
client may need a full-scale strategic consultation, while another may
need only a brief strategy workshop.
A full-scale engagement could include a complete strategic audit of
existing businesses, an analysis of the client’s competencies and
corporate “personality,” scenario planning to provide insight into
long-term changes in market conditions, assessments of new
opportunities, and searches for acquisition candidates or alliance-web
partners in key strategic areas.
A simple workshop, on the other hand, may cover only a single step in a
strategy process, such as scenario planning. If you don't know what you
need, we'll discuss your motives for seeking
outside knowledge or guidance, and make a recommendation.

Getting There First: “Catalytic Strategy”
The chaotic environment of high technology is bewildering. Many
companies respond by trying to slow it down. They force partners into
inflexible agreements, acquire competitors just to remove them as
threats, and approach new markets with old methods.
But these are holding actions at best, not winning strategies. The most
successful companies actually accelerate the development of their
markets and use the resulting change and complexity to their advantage.
At Harbor we refer to this market approach as “Catalytic Strategy.”
