Monitor has deep roots in strategy. One of our founders, Professor Michael Porter of Harvard Business School, literally wrote the book (actually, several books) on strategy. Our strategy work now covers a broad range of issues: business-unit and corporate strategy; portfolio management; strategic vision, mission and values development; strategic planning processes and approaches; managing uncertainty and risk; and competitive dynamics and game theory. Much of our corporate strategy work also involves corporate finance, corporate development, mergers and acquisitions advisory, and post-merger integration. Virtually all Monitor work with clients involves strategy, since it provides an essential context for other decisions and actions. Over 25 years, we feel we have developed the world's most thorough understanding of the practical application of strategic thinking to drive lasting impact.
