Meet The Strategy Office.
-
We’re a collective of 30 independent strategy consultants, rooted in Amsterdam’s historical centre.
We’ve all earned our spurs at renowned strategy consulting firms, like McKinsey and BCG. But we’re also experienced entrepreneurs and corporate managers. So we give strategic advice that simply works in practice.
-
We have broad sector experience: from waste management and energy to financial services and charity.
We have diverse expertise: from strategy and organisational issues to due diligence and business integration — across private equity, scale-ups and large corporates. We’re nimble, from extensive strategy projects to one-off workshops. And we take sustainability seriously. We relish working with clients on it, and we keep an eye on our personal and collective footprints.
Since 2010, we’ve worked with over 200 chuffed clients. Read why and how below.
Our manifesto.
-
We all decided to work as independent consultants because it gives us the space to build our own businesses. And because it simply gives us much more back.
It’s far more satisfying to build a good relationship with our clients in an informal working atmosphere, and really put ourselves in the company's shoes, instead of having to keep a so-called “professional” distance. We get a much better feel for the company, which leads to advice that fits its daily practice. With us, there are no theoretical reports that disappear into a drawer.
-
As we’re entrepreneurs ourselves, we know desk research isn’t enough to properly understand the problem.
We go into the field to find the solution. As seniors, we like to carry out a project from A to Z ourselves, instead of having a bunch of juniors do all the work. After all, loss of quality always happens during handovers. We know that from practice.
-
We don't do this alone: with us, everyone can rely on the knowledge and skills of the collective.
If a project grows, we simply bring in a few colleagues. So our clients experience the intelligence of a top consultant, the clout of a larger consultancy and the energy and pragmatism of our entrepreneurial culture.

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.
-
… who go for results.
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.
