COWAN GLOBAL CONSULTING
"In all things, success depends on previous preparation and, without such preparation, there is bound to be failure." Confucius
Cowan Global are widely recognised as one of the UK’s leading strategy specialists with a wide range of experience from corporate to sports development and from third sector to local government.
We are unique in the way we apply accepted principles of corporate strategy integrated with principles taken from the world of elite sports. The result? Strategy designed to deliver excellence, strategy that delivers measurably more effective, more efficient and more economical business.
IS YOUR BUSINESS PARTICIPATING OR COMPETING?
"The competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all, but goes on making his own business better all the time." Henry Ford
Incredible though it might sound, most organisations do little more than mimic their rivals when formulating strategy*
In effect they are all using the same template, the same intelligence, the same practices, somehow expecting to come out ahead of their rivals.
This is Insanity Planning – doing the same thing as yesterday and today, the same thing as your rivals and somehow expecting different results.
At Cowan Global we are motivated by one thing – excellence. No templates, no mimicry, no insanity. Only strategy personalised to achieving and exceeding your unique goals.
*87% of companies plan strategy using only intelligence they share with their competitors *Only 53% of executives characterise their companies’ strategy as emphasising the creation of relative advantage over competitors. ‘Putting Strategies to the Test’; McKinsey, 2011
CONSULTATION: WITH A PURPOSE
"The secret of business is to know something that nobody else knows." Aristotle Onassis
The purpose of consultation is not in asking questions and in gathering data and intelligence, it is in asking the right questions to ensure the data and intelligence collected is correct, relevant and current.
It is also to ensure that the information gathered contains elements which will help create a competitive edge.
The purpose of consultation is to be fully informed when developing strategy. To be any other way is to plan with the fingers crossed.
Many companies rush consultation, others consult but in the wrong areas or wrong ways. Still more consult exhaustively and then ignore the data gained*
At Cowan Global we understand that knowledge is useless unless it is the right knowledge applied in the right way; to strategy that delivers.
*Long Range Planning; Hill & Westbrook, 1997.
NOT JUST ANOTHER CONSULTANT
"Everyone has a will to win but very few have a will to prepare to win." Vince Lombardi
At Cowan Global we are among the first to acknowledge that the world sometimes seems awash with consultants all lining up to help your business.
We’re happy with that, after all the bigger the field the better it is to be among the leaders. But it can seem a jungle when selecting the right consultant to help develop your corporate strategy.
When you work with Cowan Global you work with a company that understands not only the process but also what it takes to become the very best in the world, that the plan means nothing without the execution*
There are many strategy consultants who offer a personalised service, innovative thinking, an understanding of elite sporting performance translated for business, corporate expertise, international experience or world class standards. Only Cowan Global offers them all.
Better still, when you hire Cowan Global, you get Jim Cowan, the man with his name on the company. Not many top consultancies promise that!
*Jim Cowan has worked with numerous elite sports people and organisations including former world half marathon champion and record holder Benson Masya.
