Government.

Governments face challenges that are becoming ever more interwoven. Housing, mobility, economy, energy, climate, public services and quality of life can no longer be looked at in isolation. At the same time, geopolitical relations are shifting, digitalisation and AI are changing how we work and live together, pressure on the labour market is rising and financial frameworks are under strain. The challenge is not to accelerate on each file separately, but to choose an integrated direction for the future of the region, the city and the living environment. We help public sector organisations strengthen their strategic capacity. We do this by looking beyond today's tasks and engaging in a joint conversation about the future. We map the strengths and vulnerabilities of an organisation, city or region, explore external developments and lead the strategic dialogue on what this means for the direction of the board and organisation. The result is direction in an environment where societal challenges, political choices and organisational issues are increasingly interconnected. Our approach fits this seamlessly. With Foresight we make uncertainties explicit, build scenarios and test choices for their future-readiness. With Strategy we translate these insights into a clear strategic vision for provinces and municipalities. This creates direction for policy, investments and priorities. With Delivery we make sure strategy does not stay on paper but is translated into governance, organisation and execution. We develop effective governance models and create a coherent way of working so provinces and municipalities can steer on results.

City Strategy

A future-proof city strategy.

Cities are the hubs of the global economy. A clear and distinctive long-term strategy is crucial to fulfil their role as economic catalyst. But when shaping and safeguarding such a course, cities run into challenges: understanding change in the external environment and bringing all stakeholders behind an integrated strategy.

The City Strategy model offers a clear structure and practical instruments to arrive at a broadly supported city strategy, particularly relevant for executives, businesses and knowledge institutions. The extensive description of Rethinking Rotterdam illustrates its practical applicability and concrete results.
