Consulting

The YU team does not have a traditional consulting approach. We have first hand experience in executive roles in a wide range of sectors that we share with our clients and allow us to transfer best practices between different sectors. We maximise the use of internal resources and knowledge of our clients which is not only minimising costs but significantly increasing acceptance in the organisation and ensuring an effective and sustainable implementation.

Combining Strategic Thinking with Operational Excellence

Institutional strategies by YU are distinctive by addressing uniquely external opportunities and challenges matched with internal capabilities and capacities following the proven YU 6 step DASCIC approach. The lock is the Why You.

A key element of YU strategies is the complementary development of an implementation plan to operationalise the strategy. The key is the execution.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Centres or institutes at academic institution can be established to address specific societal, economic or scientific challenges and a vehicle to raise reputation and external engagement.

YU is specialised in developing strategies for such units that should be complementary to existing structures and enable what would not happen without them.
