Two Complementary Services for Strategic Leaders
A2B Strategy offers two focused services designed for executive teams in South African banking and financial services. Both draw on 30+ years of experience spanning mining economics, global management consulting, and retail banking leadership.
Scene-Setting Briefings
The challenge: Executive teams and boards need to make high-stakes strategic decisions, but the landscape is shifting fast — competitive dynamics, regulatory changes, fintech disruption, macroeconomic pressures. Internal strategy teams are stretched thin and often too close to the business to see the full picture.
What you get: A crisp, data-rich briefing that frames the strategic context your leadership team needs before a planning session, board strategy day, or major decision. Each briefing is custom-built around your specific situation and typically delivered as a 60–90 minute presentation with a leave-behind document.
Topics frequently covered: Competitive positioning and peer benchmarking, regulatory and macroeconomic outlook, fintech and digital disruption trends, customer and market shifts, and scenario framing for strategic options.
Investment: R50,000 – R80,000 depending on scope and depth of research required.
Strategy Facilitation
The challenge: Strategy offsites and planning sessions often fall flat — dominated by internal politics, bogged down in operational detail, or lacking the external perspective needed to challenge assumptions. The result is a strategy document that sits on a shelf.
What you get: An externally facilitated strategy session designed to produce real outcomes. This includes pre-session preparation (stakeholder interviews, data gathering, context framing), facilitation of the session itself (typically 1–2 days), and a post-session synthesis document capturing decisions, priorities, and next steps.
What makes this different: The facilitator brings deep domain expertise in SA financial services — not just process skills. This means the right questions get asked, assumptions get challenged with data, and the conversation stays strategic rather than drifting into operations.
Investment: R80,000 – R120,000 for facilitation. Combined with a scene-setting briefing: R120,000 – R180,000.
