Strategic Insight

Introduction

Op2i consultants are considered thought leaders in the area of strategic governance and strategic sourcing. Our consultants have been regular chairs and speakers at conferences and have featured in national media channels. Our consultants have for example been featured in: the FT, CNBC, CityAM, Public Sector Magazine, Supply Chain Magazine, FD Information Management Forum, ICAEW, CAmagonline, Governmentbusiness, British Bankers Association, Business link, Publictechnology.net, The Telegraph, The Guardian, Portugal Outsourcing Association. Books by our consultants have also been reviewed by journals and are used as reference material in university courses.

We produce perspectives that look at the industry and challenge old assumptions, in line with our moto of creating best practice. We also provide a variety of training programmes, workshops and events, bookings and details which can be accessed from our events diary.

Listed below are some of the articles we have written that provide strategic insight. In our experience, many boards of the UK's largest organisations spend far too much time immersed in retrospective financial information and far too little time challenging what tomorrow will hold and where the threats and opportunities will come from in the future - our perspectives are meant to challenge such leaders.
