ABOUT
At STRATEGENCE, we operate on the premise that our client’s want LESS—less data tables, less cookie cutter methods and analysis...
​
And MORE engagement—more of asking the right questions, more ownership of recommendations and their implications, and tailoring of solutions to your specific information needs.
​
In other words, RESULTS.
We've built our business one client at a time—and we don't forget that. We know that for us to operate it's your business that matters. We think about your business all the time... its competitive landscape, customers, and the market insights that will put it a cut above the rest.
​
We succeed only when we help you succeed!
OUR TEAM
At first glance, all top-level consultants may seem similar. Their resumes, presentations, and fees don't differ much—but they can be very different to work with. They also have very different track records.
We are data innovators, explorers, translators, and visualizers with over a century of collective market insights and analytics experience.
