The Challenge

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.

Approach

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.

Solution

Well-Crafted Strategy Paper

Collaborating closely with the client and officials from the middle eastern nation, the consultants developed the strategy paper with an engaging value proposition to build up the nation’s logistics infrastructure. In addition, strategic initiatives were proposed to reach milestones, narrow existing gaps and develop the infrastructure to meet the increasing demands.

“With this strategy paper, we’re positioning the nation to be the next logistics hub on the global stage.” — Supply Chain Strategy Consultants

Results

Unanimous Endorsements from End-Client

The strategy paper fostered interactive dialogue between relevant parties and was presented to the decision-makers of the middle eastern nation, receiving unanimous endorsements. The end-client praised how the value proposition aligned with the country’s aspirations and the robust initiatives to turn those aspirations into reality.
