Flux tracks shifts in business trends in order to gauge the needs of our clients. In particular, our “closed door”, pre-strategy workshops are designed so executives and decision makers can make use of our research and analysis to evaluate their company’s goals and strategies.
These sessions assist clients to determine the likely success of their medium- to long-term strategies. The process allows businesses to not only join seemingly disconnected dots but more importantly, identify blind spots in their existing approach.
The service aims to prevent costly mistakes being made by embarking on a strategic trajectory that has been formulated without considering the ripple effect of the disruptive trends we track at Flux.
