Craig Lawrence Consulting Limited

All organisations (whether businesses, charities, schools or government departments) need a strategy in place that explains how they are going to achieve their most ambitious vision for the future by exploiting the opportunities and overcoming the obstacles that our complex and ever-changing environment creates. However, thinking strategically and then developing and implementing strategies that work is not that easy; if it were, all organisations would have an effective strategy in place and few of them would ever fail.

This is where we can help. Applying the proven approach described in our bestselling ‘The Quick Guide to Effective Strategy’, we can help you develop a winning strategy, review your existing strategy and/or run a bespoke programme to upskill your own strategy making and leadership teams (such as our award-winning Strategy Masterclass).

Craig Lawrence CBE, our senior strategy consultant, left the British Army in 2016 as a Major General to lead the teaching of strategy and strategic leadership at the UK Government’s ‘strategy college’ in London. Whilst there, he transformed the college’s year-long flagship postgraduate course, turning it into a ‘must do’ career enhancer for senior executives destined to reach the very highest levels of their international organisations. He also wrote ‘Getting Strategy Right (Enough)’, a UK Government guide to strategy making and strategic leadership.

A Fellow of both the Institute of Consulting and the Chartered Management Institute, Craig left the college in 2020 to set up his own consultancy. Since then, he has worked with a wide range of organisations across many sectors, helping them to develop the strategies, high-level leadership skills and award winning training solutions that have enabled them to excel in today’s complex, high-risk and ever-changing environment.
