How it Works
BYG Strategy Process
We are a Strategy Consulting Firm based on a core question: Does the future inform the present or does the present inform the future? Each of our engagements is tailored to the particular problem that needs to be solved. Below is a sample flow:

Base this problem on your community’s pressing needs and compelling aspirations.

CHOICES. Develop and socialize a strategy process that forces you to choose.

This strategy drives your planning.
