Inigo Consulting provides capabilities that organizations need but often struggle to access at the depth and contextual sophistication that matters.

Strategic work at Inigo Consulting does not produce thick documents that sit on shelves. It produces clarity about a small number of consequential choices that leadership is willing to own.

What this involves

Corporate and business-unit strategy.

Clarifying where to play and how to win across markets, segments, and geographies—with explicit criteria for entering, defending, or exiting positions.

Portfolio and capital allocation.

Assessing which businesses, programs, or initiatives genuinely deserve incremental capital versus those that should be maintained, restructured, or divested.

Growth and adjacency evaluation.

Identifying where growth is structurally available—and where it is an illusion fueled by optimism—before committing resources to new segments, channels, or countries.

Strategic planning for knowledge institutions.

Defining programmatic focus, clarifying theories of change, and designing funding models that balance mission integrity with financial sustainability.

Inigo Consulting answers specific questions that clients cannot resolve internally: Is this sector genuinely attractive? Who holds structural advantages and why? Which regulatory or policy changes will reshape competitive dynamics?

What this involves

Sector and competitive analysis.

Mapping players, value chains, and profit pools including informal power structures and regulatory sensitivities that do not appear in public data.

Market entry and expansion studies.

Assessing attractiveness and feasibility of new markets or segments, with clear-eyed view of conditions required for success and likely failure modes.

Opportunity and risk scanning.

Identifying inflection points, policy shifts, and structural trends that could materially alter a client’s strategic options or competitive position.

Due diligence support.

Complementing financial and legal reviews with strategic and operational perspectives on sectors, business models, and management capabilities.

Strategy fails when good ideas are not translated into governed, executable initiatives. Inigo Consulting helps organizations move from vague commitments to structured projects with clear ownership, realistic sequencing, and mechanisms for course correction.

What this involves

Project framing and design.

Translating high-level goals into well-defined projects with explicit scope, stakeholders, milestones, and decision gates that respect organizational capacity.

Initiative portfolio architecture.

Building coherent sets of initiatives that collectively advance strategy, rather than disconnected lists of activities competing for attention.

Governance and tracking design.

Establishing pragmatic oversight mechanisms—progress reviews, escalation protocols, resource reallocation triggers—that fit the organization’s culture and bandwidth.

Implementation partnerships.

In select cases, providing ongoing support during execution phases to navigate obstacles and maintain strategic alignment.

In many contexts, decisive advantage comes from access to people who have solved similar problems under comparable constraints—practitioners whose experience cannot be replicated through analysis alone.

What this involves

Specialist identification.

Finding individuals with directly relevant experience: former operators in specific sectors, academics with field expertise, policy practitioners, or executives who have navigated comparable challenges.

Structured expert engagements.

Designing interviews, workshops, or advisory roles that generate insight without creating conflicts, dependency, or ongoing obligations.

Knowledge synthesis.

Translating diverse expert inputs into coherent implications for the client’s decisions, rather than leaving them as disconnected perspectives requiring additional interpretation.

Network orchestration.

For complex questions, convening small groups of specialists whose combined perspective addresses different facets of a strategic challenge.

Organizational structures, decision rights, and partnerships can silently undermine otherwise sound strategies. Inigo Consulting works with leadership to ensure these elements support rather than constrain strategic intent.

What this involves

Business model clarification.

Defining how the organization creates value, for whom, and through which mechanisms, especially when hybrid models blend commercial and mission-driven objectives.

Partnership and alliance design.

Structuring collaborations, coalitions, or consortia where roles, incentives, and contributions are realistic and sustainable over time.

Decision architecture.

Helping boards and executive teams determine which decisions must be centralized, which can be delegated, and how information flows to support both.

Institutional positioning.

For knowledge institutions, clarifying how to balance independence, influence, and financial resilience while maintaining credibility with multiple constituencies.

Digital initiatives collapse when treated as technology projects rather than strategic choices about how an organization will operate, learn, and create value.

What this involves

Opportunity framing.

Identifying the few digital or data initiatives that genuinely change the economic or impact equation, versus diffuse “transformation” efforts that consume resources without delivering results.

Capability and partnership strategy.

Determining which capabilities must be developed internally versus accessed through partners or vendors, based on strategic criticality and realistic build capacity.

Adoption pathways.

Designing realistic paths for technology adoption that recognize existing habits, organizational constraints, and regulatory environments rather than assuming frictionless change.

Innovation portfolio design.

Structuring balanced portfolios of incremental improvements, adjacency exploration, and longer-horizon bets—with appropriate governance for each.
