Executive Decision-Making

A consultative approach for your most important decisions

To effectively manage risk and drive growth, organizations need to navigate complexity and uncertainty.

Old habits and assumptions are being challenged, new opportunities are emerging – and senior decision-makers are facing this new landscape without a playbook. In order to act with confidence, you need a partner that can help you organize and interpret the information available, and apply an objective and independent lens to key decisions.

Strategy Assessment and Planning

We provide organizations with new perspectives on tough challenges. Our senior consultants bring diverse sector expertise and an in-depth understanding of a range of business problems, from marketing and communications planning, to government relations, to the development of customer experience measurement programs. We believe the answers to many challenging questions are already within your organization’s grasp. We use practical frameworks to unlock insights and organize information, empowering your leadership team to act with confidence.

Stakeholder Engagement

Whether the goal is stakeholder management or involving key audiences in an important decision-making process, Environics is skilled at using both traditional and state-of-the-art engagement tools to help you gather the insight you need. We create effective and efficient engagement experiences by combining methodological rigour with emerging tools and strategies for stakeholder participation. Our collaborative process helps leaders listen, learn, reflect and decide.

Competitive Intelligence

Effective decision-making requires contextual awareness. That can mean everything from understanding how your competitors are responding, to market disruption, to anticipating the impact of regulatory changes on the way you do business. Environics uses social listening, media monitoring and secondary research to identify risks and opportunities for your strategic decisions. We do more than just gather data – we analyze new information in view of past performance and experience, to anticipate how the market will respond to your strategy.
