Inviting a strategist to give you a hand can open a whole new world of insights, innovation and long lasting solutions to you and your organization. A strategist can help you and your team create alternative paths to meeting your organization's objectives, and give you the capacity to quickly spot relevant patterns and challenges buried beep within the issues you are struggling with.
A good strategist doesn't create boring and thick "strategy" documents. In fact a strategist doesn't need to work on your next strategic plan to make difference in your organization. Instead they can shine a light on your potential future, share with you a vision on how you can align culture, objectives and resources to make a meaningful difference, and help you focus on executing on your most important goals.

Writing in a 2012 McKinsey Quarterly article, Harvard Business School professor Cynthia A. Montgomery identified 3 unique ways a strategist brings clarity to the organizations they serve. They are:
- Strategist as Meaning-Maker. A quality strategist will make your core leadership responsibilities of defining what your organization will be, why it matters and who the organization serves much easier. These answers lead to behavioral values that in turn inform how you execute, how your customer experiences your organization and the kind of people you should recruit to join your team.
- Strategist as Pointer to Reality. Whether it's calling out unspoken and untested assumptions about the market, mining for constructive conflict, identifying asymmetrical risks, or drilling down the stark essentials of a situation, a strategist will force you to face and wrestle with reality. Sometimes annoying, often intensely questioning, always truth-telling, a strategist is the antidote to muddled and poor decision making.
- Strategist as Connector Between Ideas and Action. A strategist may take the time to dream. But when it comes to making those good and possible dreams into something real and long lasting, a strategist will pay special to the essential organizational processes that will need to be leveraged and the necessary tasks and actions that will need to be completed. A good strategist makes clear what needs to be done.
