The Art of Stratagem
In the dynamics of the global marketplace, the position, information and resources of established players and products create a formidable challenge for entrepreneurship and small to medium-sized enterprises. Conventional strategy that matches strength against strength fails. Advantage can be gained through an unconventional stratagem - asymmetric planning and execution to seize advantage - that turns weakness into competitive strength.
Welcome
Impact entrepreneurs build enterprises that facilitate economic development. However they face impediments. Capacity is necessary to create enterprises that realise impact. Community is needed to foster substantive relationships. Capital is required to access resources.
Stratagem has developed a framework for enterprise development that combines rigorous planning and execution with opportunities to access and effectively utilise necessary resources. The Impact Programme garners trust of investors and service professionals in the planning and execution capacity of the entrepreneur. It allows them to commit resources on terms that help the enterprise realise its potential impact. Our Commercial Returns Fund addresses lack of seed capital for impact enterprises by investing in selected Programme Participants.
The end result - competitive, profitable and balanced enterprises that optimise social returns and maximise commercial impact.
