Strategy & Consulting
Custom-made strategies that leverage data-driven insights to drive profitable growth in competitive markets.
Strategy & Consulting: a partner who thinks with you, not just executes
Many Saudi companies need strategic consulting more than they need execution. For example: Should I enter a new market? Should I invest in an app? How do I build my marketing team? How do I price my new product? These are decisions that determine the future of the business, and they don't suit an agency that "just executes".
At IECC, we offer deep strategic consulting for companies of all sizes. Our Strategy Consultants have 10+ years of Saudi market experience, having worked with growth-seeking small companies and Enterprise corporations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Strategy and Consulting?
Strategy: action plan for execution (what to do, how, when). Consulting: deep thinking about big strategic decisions before execution. Consulting ends with a recommendation, Strategy ends with an execution plan.
How much does consulting cost?
Varies significantly by scope: specific consultation at a mid tier. Full consulting projects at a larger tier. Enterprise consulting at much larger tier.
How long does a consulting project take?
Specific consultation: 2-3 weeks. Medium project: 4-8 weeks. Large projects (Digital Transformation): 3-6 months.
Are recommendations truly actionable?
This is most important to us. All our recommendations are built on: Saudi reality, your company's capabilities, and actual ROI. We don't provide theoretical recommendations that don't execute. Every recommendation has an Implementation roadmap.
Do you execute the recommendations after delivery?
You choose: execute yourself (3 months free consulting support), or we handle execution (separate Retainer). Many clients begin consulting with us then request execution.
Do you sign NDAs?
Always. Every consulting project we sign NDAs before we start. All data we see is 100% confidential.
