The Shapecast story
Shapecast's founder experience was rooted in strategic change in Tesco and Thomson Reuters, where he led the modernisation of systems, operating model transformation allowing Tesco to scale to many industries and internationally.
Using this experience, Shapecast was founded in 2010 with one clear purpose: To help ambitious leadership teams to modernise and to build high performing organisations that can unlock efficiency and new streams of growth.
We have helped over 30 firms to redefine their strategy, transform their systems to drive growth.
From enterprise architecture to strategy execution
One thing we noticed when helping organisations go through large scale technology and operational transformation is that many company still struggled to execute their strategy.
We saw the challenge of linking the portfolio of programs and projects to strategic outcomes and then being able to track the whole performance of the strategy.
So in 2017 we embarked on building a platform to make this journey much easier. Six years later, we launched StrategyWorks which is a complete portfolio and strategy management platform designed to track and manage the entire strategy through automation.
StrategyWorks is transformational in helping organisations to execute strategy efficiently.
However, we didn't stop there. Through our discussions with potential clients, many said they had strategic underperformance or lacked the maturity to use StrategyWorks.
From strategy execution to full cycle strategy
We then realised the challenge for many goes beyond strategy execution and on to full cycle strategy definition and planning. So after 3 further years of design and refinement we have worked hard to develop a complete framework to help executive teams understand the demand in their market, affirm what their organisational blueprint needs to become and then turn this in to a strategy that can be executed quickly and effectively.
We're now hugely excited to offer complete cycle strategy services from planning, design and execution, all driven through deep data insight about your markets and whats working, supported and accelerated through automation.
Our driving belief is that organisations have to be able to execute their own strategy and you cant rely on third parties. We therefore focus on building capability in our clients so you dont have to rely on third parties in the long term.

Data drives your strategy
Through our strategic engagements we saw that leadership teams often struggled to have the reach clarity of how their strategic objectives are being executed across the organisation, how everything ties together and to get the right information at the right time to make data driven decisions.
We believe there was a real opportunity to provide both a platform that enables all aspects of the strategy to come together, supported by a complete data-driven framework. Combined, these help to design, plan and execute strategy faster and more effectively,
After six years of intense development, we have now built StrategyWorks which we believe is game-changing and gives you a new level of capability to drive strategy.
All the work we now do is underpinned by our driving beliefs....
We believe
Organisations must be able to execute their own strategy long term without relying on third parties.
World-class strategy design relies on a structured process that asks the right questions at the right time.
Strategic success relies on a data-driven insight of your market and opportunities.
Capitalising on opportunities requires deep understanding of what your organisation must become in future and a structure path to achieve that blueprint.
Executing strategy effectively requires a clear, single view of your strategy which you can monitor frequently.
