Overview
yatte & gemba
is a boutique strategic services firm that focuses on micro-consulting and CXO services.
Strategy is demanding, and in recent times, that demand has accelerated.
We step in to help clients search for strategic excellence as they navigate through volatility, uncertainty, and complexity.
The company offers a unique 3rd-axis view to clients. It was founded by former CEOs who have had their hands soiled and know what it takes to craft and operationalize strategy.
We look at challenges through the lens of employees, clients, and customers to help you realize your objectives. In other words, our approach dwells on rolling up our sleeves to be where strategy meets execution and where execution, in turn, meets expectations.
Our interventions include strategic consulting, training, temporary CX services, and talks.
