FSG was able to analyze the complex challenges in the cocoa sector in Côte d’Ivoire and propose a long-term road-map to fix them. The team has been highly engaged and committed, and played a key role in facilitating dialogue with the governments and a multitude of other key stakeholders.

A lot of times a consultant helps you put a notebook on the shelf. What we developed was a strategy that is tied to the corporate strategy and is having a direct impact on what we’re doing from a business and a social impact perspective. FSG helped us create the right tools, training, and process.

The FSG team is different from other consultants. They don't just throw out a bunch of recommendations and leave; they really care about helping us make an impact in the world and in our business.

How We Work

  • Build a coherent vision of where and how your company can create shared value, and how to structure a process to get there—through analysis, visioning, and coaching.
  • Identify key opportunities for your business and effective ways to seize them—through collaborative strategy development.
  • Determine how to proceed from strategy to action—through landscaping, benchmarking, and initiative design, and by tapping FSG’s extensive stakeholder networks.
  • Support implementation through internal alignment, partnership brokering, and coalition building.
  • Design measurement and learning systems to track both social and business outcomes and to enable incremental value creation.
