Key capabilities of independent Strategy Consultants
Corporate strategy development
Independent Strategy Consultants specialise in designing and refining corporate strategies aligned with organisational goals. They provide strategic clarity by evaluating market dynamics, competitive landscapes, and internal capabilities, enabling businesses to set actionable priorities and make informed strategic decisions.
Growth strategy formulation
Driving sustainable growth is a core strength of freelance Strategy Consultants. Our experts identify and analyse opportunities for market expansion, diversification, and revenue enhancement, translating insights into practical, scalable growth plans that deliver measurable business outcomes.
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) strategy
Successful M&A requires strategic precision. Independent Strategy Consultants provide expert guidance throughout the entire M&A lifecycle, from target identification and due diligence to integration planning and execution. They help organisations realise synergies, optimise value creation, and ensure strategic alignment with long-term business goals.
Commercial due diligence
Independent Strategy Consultants deliver comprehensive commercial due diligence, meticulously evaluating market attractiveness, competitive positioning, and revenue potential. Their insights inform critical investment decisions, ensuring businesses clearly understand potential risks, opportunities, and value creation levers before committing resources.
Product strategy
Independent Strategy Consultants excel in developing effective product strategies that align with customer needs and business objectives. Together with product and proposition experts, they define product roadmaps, prioritise features based on market demands, and assess product-market fit, maximising customer value and competitive advantage.
Market entry advisory
Independent Strategy Consultants excel in helping businesses successfully enter new markets. They conduct thorough market assessments, competitor analysis, and risk evaluations, formulating clear, actionable go-to-market strategies that maximise opportunities and mitigate entry risks.
Digital strategy and transformation
Effective digital transformation requires strategic insight. Freelance Strategy Consultants guide businesses through digital change by developing clear digital roadmaps, leveraging technology to improve customer experience, operational efficiency, and competitive advantage, ensuring digital initiatives directly support broader business objectives.
Go-to-market strategy
Launching new products or services demands precise planning. Independent Strategy Consultants develop robust go-to-market strategies that clearly define customer segments, sales channels, pricing models, and value propositions, ensuring rapid market traction, effective resource allocation, and optimised profitability.
Market research and competitive analysis
Detailed market intelligence is crucial for strategic decision-making. Independent Strategy Consultants deliver in-depth market research and competitive analysis, providing businesses with critical insights into market trends, customer behaviours, competitor strategies, and emerging opportunities, guiding informed, strategic decisions.

FAQs
How long does it typically take to find and onboard freelancers for a project?
Depending on area of expertise you can have a fully vetted independent talent or subject-matter expert on the ground in five days.
How much does Outsized charge for its services?
Outsized charges an uplift of 20% based on the independent’s rate. For building and managing virtual benches there is a separate setup and subscription fee. The amount depends on how many skill areas are included.
For contracting-as-a-service the uplift is typically lower than for a normal assignment, given that we do not provide the matching service (you already have the talent, and we manage onboarding, contracting and payments).
Please get in touch with us for more information and to discuss your needs when it comes to building and executing your agile workforce needs.
What contracts does a client need to sign with Outsized?
A new client will sign a Master Services Agreement (MSA), outlining all the key terms and conditions between you and Outsized.
For each individual contract under the MSA there will be a separate Statement of Work or similar, outlining the details for that particular assignment.
Can I terminate the contract if I am not satisfied with the independent?
If you are not satisfied with the independent placed through us, please let our team know immediately. We will replace free of charge.
As a standard term in our contracts, both clients and talent have the right to terminate the contract at any time, but the freelancer will have to serve the notice period (usually 30 days)
If we have already identified the candidate, can Outsized help us with the onboarding process?
Yes, if you have already identified the independent you wish to onboard, we have a contracting-as-a service product. Please get in touch to discuss your use case.
What other products & services does Outsized offer?
We offer the following products and services:
- Talent-on-demand: We match you to individual or multiple requirements for independent consultants, contractors and subject-matter experts. Quickly close capability or capacity gaps for your projects and core functions. Onboard talent in days, not weeks or months.
- Virtual benches: We build and maintain bespoke talent pools across your priority skill areas. We curate, continuously update, and manage these benches, ensuring that you have access to all the skills you need. See it as your ‘workforce-in-a-box’, enabling you to deploy the skills you need, as and when you need them.
- Contract-to-hire: Speed up and de-risk hiring for both you and the talent. Employers and candidates get to know each other during the explicit ‘try-before-you-buy’ period, ensuring a great match for both parties. Escape a lenghty and broken permanent recruitment process, and confirm suitability through on-the-job performance instead of through protracted interviews.
- Contracting-as-a-service: An end-to-end service helping you to contract, pay, and manage your independent talent. We reduce the complexity, time and resources risk associated with onboarding individuals who don’t sit on your payroll, and we ensure that they get a great experience.
