Smarter Strategy, Faster Outcomes, Stronger Impact

A.I. in Strategy

Strategy is about clarity, focus, and choices. In a world that’s moving faster than ever, our clients need to make smart decisions quickly — and that’s where AI can provide us with a powerful edge.

We’ve integrated artificial intelligence into our strategy work. Not as a replacement for critical thinking, but as an accelerator of insight, rigour, risk management, and imagination.

When human judgment meets machine intelligence, strategy becomes sharper — and execution becomes unstoppable.

How We Use AI to Supercharge Strategy

We use targeted, ethical, high-impact applications of AI to improve strategic clarity, strengthen analysis, and elevate creative thinking.

Here’s how:

Faster Insight Discovery

AI enables us to process data — from customer feedback to competitor analysis — at lightning speed. It surfaces patterns, weak signals, and strategic blind spots that traditional methods sometimes miss.

Sharper Strategic Thinking

We use generative AI to simulate strategic scenarios, test assumptions, and model potential outcomes. This helps teams stress-test ideas, anticipate unintended consequences, and get to stronger decisions, faster.

Accelerated Strategy Development

AI supports faster synthesis of stakeholder input, strategic frameworks, and research insights. It reduces time spent on documentation and increases time spent on dialogue, design, and decision-making.

Real-Time Adaptability

AI tools allow us to dynamically track changes in market conditions, customer behaviour, and internal performance — helping leaders adapt their strategy on the fly, not months later.

Where It Shows Up in Our Strategy Offerings

Strategy Development

We blend deep facilitation with AI-enhanced data analysis and scenario simulation to build strategic plans that are both rigorous and flexible — ready for the uncertainty of today’s environment.

Business Model Innovation

AI helps us uncover emerging models across industries, simulate value flows, and test viability at speed. This allows us to help you pivot, adapt, or reinvent your business model faster and more confidently.

Strategy for Transformation

In complex transformation programs, AI supports our work by identifying leverage points, assessing readiness, and aligning initiatives with strategic intent. It enables more focused change, less noise.

Leadership Alignment & Decision-Making

We use AI to support leadership diagnostics, map alignment gaps, and spark deeper discussions — helping executive teams make faster, clearer, and more aligned decisions.

Still Human. Now Superhuman.

At Orange Squid, our consultants still do what we’ve always done best: partner with you to make the complex simple, and the ambitious achievable. The difference? We now do it with a turbocharger.

You still get all the expertise and experience of our cutting-edge approaches to organisational psychology, strategy, innovation and change, but AI makes our work faster, deeper, and more scalable. As always however, the judgment, empathy, creativity, and nudges that matter most still come from us — and from you.

That’s the future of strategy. Human-led. AI-powered. Outcome-focused.
