Developing a Robust Strategy Paper

The client, a renowned global logistics company, took on a major project to support a middle eastern nation in achieving its goals outlined in a 10-year strategic development plan. As part of the larger development framework, the logistics company was responsible for developing the logistics strategy.

The main task involved developing a strategy paper with a recap on the current performance and a strong value proposition for strategies moving forward. As a result, the client sought the support of two logistics consultants to join their existing project team.

Role of Consultport

Consultport proposed 5 strong consultant profiles within 48 hours. The client interviewed 4 candidates and selected an ex-BCG consultant and an ex-Simon Kucher consultant. Both consultants possessed extensive project experiences developing logistics strategies. The consultants started working with the project team a week after the initial request.

Comprehensive Assessment of Current Status

The consultants reviewed the current strategic proposals, assessed gaps to be addressed and defined crucial milestones to be achieved.

To gain further understanding of the industry landscape within the region, the consultants engaged in several primary research activities, including surveys, interviews, and expert calls. The research findings highlighted the country’s current logistics capacity and made supply chain forecasts for a 10-year timeline.

The Results

The well-crafted strategy paper achieved significant traction, earning strong recognition from the client and stakeholders at the national level.

Well-Rounded Assessment

The in-depth analysis and assessment provided a comprehensive view of the nation’s logistics ecosystem, identifying existing bottlenecks, potential opportunities, and the critical levers required to achieve global competitiveness.

Robust Strategy Paper

By combining a compelling value proposition with actionable milestones, the strategy paper served as a clear roadmap for infrastructure development. It created alignment among different government agencies and private sector stakeholders, setting the foundation for long-term progress.

Leadership Endorsements

The strategy paper received unanimous endorsements from the client’s leadership team and decision-makers, who highlighted the clarity of the initiatives and their alignment with the nation’s broader aspirations. The paper not only inspired confidence but also provided momentum for the proposed initiatives to move forward.

Strengthened Stakeholder Dialogue

The paper also fostered constructive dialogue among stakeholders, creating a platform for collaboration between policymakers, industry representatives, and investors to ensure the successful execution of the logistics vision.
