Situation
- Client is the chief strategy officer at an investment firm with retirement facilities in Northern California.
- Seeking to present recommendations to the Principals on strategies to increase revenue across 2 prime locations, after a 12 week due diligence.

Complication
- No in-house expertise in data mining, analytics and presentation. Gut feel understanding, but no ability to substantiate any hypothesis.
- Good operators, but unable to articulate a compelling story leading to a clear cut recommendations deck.
- Rudimentary internet researching skills.

Resolution
- CCA setup a 3 member consultant team dedicated to supporting the client with the writing of the final recommendations deck across the 12 weeks of the transformation.
- Provided support with both primary and secondary research to gain insights into the competitive landscape.
- Provided presentation design support to enhance the format of the presentation.

Impact
- Client presented a more informed recommendation based off of CCA’s research.
- Client presented to the Board a full business week earlier than originally anticipated.
- Ultimately, he was able to dedicate more time to the actual strategy proposal which got a final sign-off from the Board.
