Why cohesive exists
In the modern environment, the major challenges organizations must address are not confined to single functions or silos.
They are cross-functional.
They involve boundary-spanning.
Strategy and growth
Strategy has always involved an integrated set of choices.
Now more than ever it demands collective intelligence and coherent action.
customer experience and engagement
The touchpoints that drive customer experience, engagement, brand strength and reputation exist across multiple functions.
They require holistic governance.
data and ai
Data, AI and other technology-related capabilities are core to the whole enterprise.
Siloed thinking proliferates complexity and slows achievement.
additional challenges span geographic and company boundaries
Global Operating Model
What should be the balance of global, regional and country-level capabilities?
How should worldwide capabilities be governed and coordinated?
Ecosystem management
Who is a competitor and who a complementor in our ecosystems? Who is an influencer?
How do we manage partners who play multiple roles and deal with multiple parts of our organization?
geopolitical risk
How should we assess and manage political and economic risks across our key markets?
Which actors should we align with, on what terms and to what ends? How should we configure our functions and leaders to interact with government and non-government constituencies?
cohesive exists to help organizations align and act on challenges that cross boundaries
These increasingly prevalent challenges are hard to manage. Cohesive develops and deploys techniques to address them productively.
