CRU Strategies - Strategy Development Practice

Providing relevant practical strategic advice, developed from industry focused data, CRU Strategies adds value to our clients. Why?

  • We are focused on the mining and metals industries and we employ consultants with experience in these industries. This means we provide industry relevant solutions for our clients.

  • Our focus in the mining and metals industries means less of a learning curve for our project teams, which often means we can complete assignments faster and hence provide better value for money. 

  •  We avoid the use of “boxed” solutions or recipes. We have a deep understanding of the mining and metals (and their associated) value chains so we can effectively assess what works and what does not work in our industries.

  • We are focused on providing practical level advice.  We uniquely placed to design practical strategic road maps for implementing corporate strategy. We avoid the generation of high level “sky-blue” reports with no practical applicability.

  • We have access to the leading source of business intelligence information in the mining and metals markets; CRU Analysis. We can access its extensive databases, models, experts and network of contacts.

Typical business strategy consulting assignments fall into the following categories:

  • Opportunities for growth: Independent advice on options for growth, both through M&A and organically.

  • Market entry strategy:  Providing comprehensive advice on how to select the best product/investment combinations for success.

  • Portfolio and investment strategy: The development of bespoke systems for project pipeline management and its associated individual investments.

  • Independent reviews of business plans: Completing a detailed risk analysis of proposed investments.

  • Public policy advice: Independent and practical advice to governments and industry associations. 

  • Re-structuring/closure plans for companies facing financial or competitive difficulties: The development of suitable and practical action plans that are aimed at turning around companies.
