Entrepreneurial strategy consultants.
The Strategy Office is a collective of independent strategy consultants who’ve all earned their spurs at one of the big consulting firms, but also as entrepreneurs. Since 2010, that’s meant strategic advice that simply works in practice.

Free thinkers...
As independent consultants who are also entrepreneurs, we enjoy the freedom of doing business our way. We want the same freedom for our clients. Because if you let yourself be restricted by how things have always been done, you’ll get what you already had. Good strategic choices are made by considering all factors — then also looking outside the box for a solution. Dare to think freely. It leads to surprising new insights.

We’re here to come up with solutions that actually make a difference for our clients. Instead of rounding up a project by advising we start yet another one, it gives us much more satisfaction to really help our clients move forward with their business, day to day.

Our take on thingsIs generative AI the end of strategy consulting?
Read moreLet’s be frank: strategy consulting is a prime target for overhaul with generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). Change is coming — it just remains to be seen in exactly what form: Will AI make the profession obsolete?Can companies rely on AI alone to tackle the challenges currently entrusted to consulting firms, eliminating human expertise?Or will this heavyweight industry, steadily growing for decades, adapt to an AI-driven landscape? If yes, what will value-for-money strategy consulting look like? And what should strategy consultants — and our clients — be doing now to intelligently ride the GenAI wave? -
Our take on thingsSurf’s up, PE: The green home installation wave is finally here.
Read morePrivate equity has long spotted opportunities in the construction sector. Positively, the need for sustainable housing is a safe bet for growth, so companies concepting and making ground-up greener housing have been hoovered up. But there’s a complementary trend — and significant PE opportunity — that’s still overlooked: green home installation companies. A quick breakdown highlights volume and potential: - €33.5 billion: 2022 revenue of the Dutch construction market’s housing segment (new build, renovation, maintenance) - €2.4 billion (7% of total): 2022 revenue of the Dutch sustainable home installation market - 1.7% CAGR 2022-2026 expected for the sustainable home installation market, driven by renovation demand (and despite lower new-build housing volumes) For PEs with construction companies in their portfolio, investing in green installation firms is a straightforward route to broader presence in sustainable housing value chains. In parallel, both new and existing builds (will) need green installations. Well-placed investment will cover both these housing types, across the social and private sectors. In short, this market’s in need of a new breed of investor: ready to take calculated risks, for high rewards. As a seasoned insider, I’m convinced of the green home installation sector’s potential for strong social and financial returns.
