Innovative Strategy Services

Though today’s world is more complex, fast-paced and connected than that of the world in 500 BC, strategy remains crucial to success. Tactics (or technologies, or ‘solutions’) must be aligned to strategy in order to be worth pursuing. Organizations must be clear in their strategies to be effective and efficient. Products, offerings and startup companies need to execute against a framework of strategy to deliver value and intended outcomes.

LucidCoast brings a strategic mindset to every client interaction. We’re not just a ‘body shop’ or a ‘solution provider’ – we are a strategic partner, as dedicated to helping you define your vision as we are to helping you achieve it.

Some of the ways we deliver on that commitment include:

Design Thinking Innovation Outpost and Internal Innovation Catalyst IT Strategy & IT Optimization CISO-as-a-service and Security Strategy

Design Thinking

Coaching, workshops, thought leadership and ongoing support for design thinking and human-centered outcomes are a specialty we believe in passionately. It doesn’t matter whether you’re launching a product, a company, developing a new organizational process framework or leading an acquisition; design thinking principles and practices help deliver human and customer-oriented results.

Innovation Outpost and Internal Innovation Catalyst

Marquette, Michigan is an incredible location for inspiration and creativity. On the shores of Lake Superior, in the forests of the north country, this gem of a small town was founded on innovation is an incredible backdrop for the process of innovation. We offer an “Innovation Outpost” approach that includes bringing your team to Marquette (or other select off-site locations), putting them through an intense innovation bootcamp and facilitating the process of focused problem-solving and opportunity generation. We combine this approach with a one-of-a kind experience of outdoor recreation, engagement with nature and creative inspiration that provides a potent ‘secret sauce’ for innovation. Your team will come away from this construct with focus, ideas and impact like never before.

Similar to the Outpost model, we offer Internal Innovation Catalyst services on-site at your company’s location using the tools and methods of the outpost in your environment. In light of the Covid-19 situation and surrounding circumstances – we also offer “Virtual Innovation Catalyst” services that can be delivered in a fully remote construct.

IT Strategy & IT Optimization

Most organizations of 100 people or more require a regular look at how information technology (and related, emerging technologies) relate to their goals, mission, objectives and outcomes. Technology Strategy is best viewed as a lifecycle to be revisited iteratively over time. We have deep experience in helping clients align their technology capabilities to their needs through IT Strategy consulting. Along similar lines, IT Optimization is about ensuring costs are wisely-managed and technology investments are not only high-impact but also kept from overrunning your organization’s capacity to leverage them.

CISO-as-a-service and Security Strategy

Cybersecurity has become a crucial consideration from the control room to the board room. With millions of unfilled cybersecurity positions, average CISO tenures measured in months versus years and threat actors exposing new holes in the fabric of life every day – no organization is immune to the risks of a connected world. Having a good handle on clear security strategy, sound security skills, a robust and well-managed set of security capabilities and partners is critical. We offer a range of services to support clients across industries – from “CISO-as-a-service” to strategic security consulting by domain – we can help you build blueprints to secure your business, your employees and your customers.
