Our Experience
Why Choose Denneen?
At Denneen, we believe great strategy isn’t just built in slides - it’s built through trust, collaboration, and deep understanding of your business. We don’t just consult for you - we work with you, as an extension of your team, crafting solutions that are practical, proprietary, and actionable.
Practical Business Leaders, Not Just Consultants
Many of us come from leadership roles in industry with accountability for driving business growth and we understand that strategy is only as valuable as its ability to be executed. Our work is rooted in both business management and consulting experience, combining strategic thinking with a pragmatic understanding of how to drive growth strategy through organization and into market.
Actionable and Achievable Roadmaps to Growth
We start with top-down financial objectives but spend significantly more time working with our clients to build the detailed, bottom-up plan of initiatives and projects that demonstrate how the objectives will be achieved. These detailed charters, including resources, timeline, investments, and value creation, then serve as the roadmap to implement the strategy.
Agile and Collaborative Approach
While we utilize proven frameworks and approaches, all of our engagements are tailored to our clients unique needs and opportunities, ensuring that we spend time in areas that add value. And our highly collaborative approach ensures that our clients remain engaged throughout the process and have ownership of the outputs and decisions.
Driven by Insights, Rooted in Data
The best strategy is built from deep insight. And deep insight comes from a synthesis of rigorous research, data collection, and analysis across a variety of sources. Uncovering these insights gives our clients a proprietary view of their markets and customers, creating competitive advantage and knowledge from which to make key strategic decisions.
Strategic and Commercial Capability Building
Our collaborative approach and recommended project governance allows the opportunity for portfolio company leaders and managers to participate in the strategy development process. This exposure helps to build both strategic and commercial capabilities in the organization, especially among the next generation of potential leaders.
