Commence. Strategy, shaped by narrative.
We work with leaders and teams navigating growth, reinvention, and moments of strategic change.
The Moment
There is a moment — before the roadmap, before the strategy, before the work truly begins — when important questions are still unanswered.
“Is this the right moment to act?”
“What are we really building? And why does it matter?”
Commence exists for that moment.
Where We Start
That moment tends to surface familiar questions.
What is our value?
What has changed?
What is our story?
Most organizations have no shortage of ideas. What they lack is clarity about which ideas matter — and why. The story that answers that question is already there, but finding it takes discipline.
The Work
Commence draws on the principles of human-centered design and the practice of design thinking — a discipline built on discovery, synthesis, and iteration, and the conviction that the right narrative and the right strategy will surface through the process.
