A Multi-Layered Approach to Strategy

Comprehensive Strategy Development from The Merrick Intelligence Group

Many strategies fail because they only address the surface symptoms of a problem. They offer a temporary solution for recurring challenges but never fix the root of the problem, which leads to wasted time, money, and energy.

At The Merrick Intelligence Group, our strategies for getting clients their desired results are highly effective because our analysis is more comprehensive. For every client, whether facing a competitor or a personal challenge, we consider a full spectrum of intelligence factors to build a complete picture.

This foundational analysis is what allows us to build highly effective, custom-fit strategies. We don’t rely on one-size-fits-all advice. You receive the crucial, specific intelligence you need to get ahead in your situation instead of using generic frameworks,

Actionable Intelligence

We translate our analysis into a clear, practical plan using strategic, operational, and tactical intelligence to inform decisions. Instead of using generic frameworks, our advisory focuses on arming clients with the knowledge to move forward freely.

Psychological & Human Intelligence

Additionally, we analyze the core drivers of human behavior: the underlying psychology, the motivating narratives, the linguistic patterns, the emotional triggers, and the somatic (mind-body) signals. We unpack the “why” behind the way things are to reveal hidden insight about yourself, your loved ones, or your opponents.

Systemic & Environmental Intelligence

The world is highly interconnected, so we map the full context of a challenge to ensure no stone is unturned before strategy development begins. Our principal explores the systemic and relational dynamics and the unwritten cultural rules. We also take a look at financial pressures, the historical precedents, and the broader geopolitical landscape.

Our Three-Step Process

Every client partnership follows a three-step process to ensure we move from a complete understanding of your situation to a clear, actionable plan.

Discovery

We start with a comprehensive review to gather all the critical information. This ranges from a deep-dive into an opponent’s public history and patterns for our competitive clients, to a holistic audit of an individual’s life factors to understand the complete personal picture.

Strategy

We analyze everything we’ve gathered to find the hidden connections and identify the true root cause of the challenge. From this analysis, we build an actionable strategy custom-fit to your specific situation and goals.

Advisory

We provide the ongoing, practical counsel you need to implement your strategy effectively. We help you navigate obstacles, adapt to new developments, and ensure the plan we’ve built together leads to your desired tangible outcome.
