Delivering Robust Corporate Strategy Systems, Education, Collaboration
Passing the pH Litmus Test: Evolving organisational equilibrium
PH Strategy and Leadership (PHS&L) employs the principles of the Litmus test from technical science to identify points of equilibrium in the social sciences. This approach allows you to optimise your corporate strategy systems and gain deeper insights into strategy, organisational behaviour and design, corporate transformations, strategic change, and organisational structuring.
We achieve this by providing:
-
access to our executive education programs,
-
our stratāgaia strategy intelligence app, and
-
our complementary Strategy Sandbox website.
In doing so, we enable client organisations to truly 'bring strategy to life.'
Accelerated strategic decision making
At the centre of our service is stratāgaia, a Strategic Intelligence System that enables organisations to interpret change, explore emerging possibilities, and form judgement as conditions evolve.
Grounded in the principles of Third Wave Strategy, it moves beyond static planning toward a continuous, disciplined approach to strategic thinking and decision-making.
This capability is supported through a broader ecosystem of services and development pathways. We provide advisory support in the implementation and application of stratāgaia, alongside structured programmes designed to strengthen strategic capability at an organisational and leadership level.
Our offering is reinforced through:
-
executive education, including our Corporate Strategy Masterclass
-
the Mini MBA in Strategy, focused on practical application
-
the CSOsandbox, enabling exploration of emerging strategic questions
-
ongoing research through our institute
-
and a body of supporting content, including podcasts, white papers, and digital platforms
Together, these form a connected environment for developing and practicing strategy as a professional discipline — not as a periodic exercise, but as an ongoing organisational capability.

From Business Intelligence to Strategic Intelligence: The Lasting Value of stratāgaia
The Enterprise Performance Management, BI tool has been the mainstay of Financial Control and the enablement of astute corporate stewardship - but insight into the future is grounded in extrapolations of the past.
We can't predict the future, but we can influence it. Now, a strategically focused BI enabled platform (stratāgaia) will enable the CFO in particular, and corporate leaders in general, to retake control of the future.
Delivery of online and in-house courses in the for of a unique Third Wave Strategy system combines with our leadership development capabilities to deliver world class strategy development solutions tailored to specific client needs.
The outcome of some 15 years of research our CALC advisory methodology is conducted in a format designed to literally reinvent the way strategy is practiced - in a good way - universally.
Traditional strategic planning is no longer fit for purpose. Built for stability, it struggles in today’s unpredictable markets.
This Mini MBA introduces Third Wave Strategy—a dynamic approach grounded in stakeholder alignment, systems thinking, and cognitive depth. Participants learn to navigate real-world decision modes—blink, dexterous, satisficing, and muddling through—across uncertainty, competition, and internal alignment.
This is not about better plans—it’s about better decisions.
A practical, disciplined approach to leading with clarity and driving continual renewal.
