RS Strategy

Why work with us

RS Strategy is both a consultancy and a think tank in the realm of European and international affairs. We offer a continuum of services, from strategy and vision modeling to coaching and communications all the way through advocacy and policy.

That continuum reflects our vision and ethos. Making sense of the world today is required to help organisations and their executives navigate the complex waters of racing digitalisation, growing geopolitical tensions and bubbling regulatory dynamics. But what would become of the future if we only discussed the present? That is why we focus on facilitating the future and building resilience.

RS Strategy helps you master uncertainty by providing actionable insights which help you build business resilience

We operate from Europe, between Paris and Brussels. Our presence in Sofia (Bulgaria) is instrumental in helping us keep up-to-date and coherent with events and trends on the Eastern front.

Working with us means:

Addressing global challenges at the heart of decision-making
Accepting the whole-of-society impact of your business
Modeling your future rather than reacting on it
