Boutique, senior-led
A small, focused team. You work with the practitioners responsible for the engagement — not a pyramid of account layers.
Open Strategy FZ-LLC Dubai · UAE
The structure behind
well-run projects.
A boutique, senior-led consultancy for organisations that have outgrown informal delivery — and need governance, planning, and reporting that actually hold.
01
About
A focused firm for leaders who want their organisations to run with more discipline.
Open Strategy works with growth-stage businesses and SMEs that need project work — and the operating rhythm around it — to become clearer, more accountable, and easier to steer.
We are a small advisory team, not a layered agency. Engagements are led by senior practitioners who stay close to the work: assessing how delivery actually happens, designing the frameworks that fit, and remaining through implementation.
Clients typically come to us when informal processes have reached their limit — when reporting is inconsistent, ownership is unclear, or too much depends on a handful of people.

Services
Practical systems for how work is planned, governed, and delivered.
Each engagement is scoped to the organisation in front of us. We do not offer legal, tax, audit, or software development services.
-
01
Business structuring & operational assessment
A clear reading of how the organisation currently plans, decides, and delivers — where ownership sits, where work stalls, and what structure would actually help.
-
02
Governance setup & reporting frameworks
Decision rights, meeting cadence, and reporting lines that give leadership visibility without creating theatre.
-
03
Project management framework implementation
Planning, scheduling, milestone definition, and dependency tracking — installed as a working system, not a slide deck.
-
04
Risk and issue management (RAID)
A disciplined approach to risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies so problems surface early and have an owner.
-
05
KPI definition & performance dashboards
A short list of measures that leadership can actually use — and the reporting around them.
-
06
Stakeholder & vendor coordination
Alignment across internal teams and external parties, with a single view of commitments, delays, and decisions.
-
07
Status reporting & steering support
Concise status packs and steering-level support so leadership can intervene on the right issues, at the right time.
-
08
Implementation & change-management support
We stay through adoption: coaching the team, tightening the cadence, and adjusting the framework until it holds without us.
03
Approach
A structured assessment, then implementation under a defined Statement of Work.
We do not begin with a pre-packaged methodology. We begin with how the organisation actually works — then write a scoped engagement that can be delivered.
-
01
Assess
A structured review of current delivery, governance, and reporting. We identify what is working, what is missing, and what the organisation can realistically absorb.
-
02
Scope
Findings become a defined Statement of Work: outcomes, activities, timeline, and a fixed fee. No open-ended retainers disguised as discovery.
-
03
Implement
Frameworks, cadences, and tools are put in place with the people who will use them. Delivery is hands-on, not handed off to a junior bench.
-
04
Embed
We remain through the first cycles of reporting and steering — adjusting the system until the team can run it independently.

Why Open Strategy
Direct access to the people doing the work.
Fixed-fee clarity
Commercials are agreed up front against a defined scope. You know what will be delivered, by when, and at what cost.
Clearly scoped work
Every project sits under a Statement of Work. Boundaries are explicit, so the engagement stays useful rather than expansive.
