A strategy roadmap in 6 weeks, with a team on the ground in 2 days

The Global Services and Support business unit was building its 2030 business strategy roadmap with internal partners and struggling to prioritize business needs. Supply partners needed a firm view of the roadmap immediately to formalize commitments, and the client’s usual strategic consulting supplier could not field a team for over three months.

Long-cycle aerospace programs make roadmaps unusually consequential: supplier investments, capacity commitments and workforce plans all hang on them. A delayed roadmap does not just slow planning, it stalls the partners whose commitments the business depends on, which is why the timeline drove the engagement design.

WGA fielded its team within two days and worked alongside the business unit to complete the strategy and planning effort, resolving the prioritization questions that had stalled the roadmap.

The six weeks ran as an embedded sprint. WGA’s team joined the business unit’s own planning rhythm, brought structure to the prioritization that had stalled, and drafted the roadmap iterations between working sessions so momentum never waited on a document. Supply partner requirements anchored the sequence: the commitments they needed were identified first and locked as the roadmap firmed around them.
