D. W. SILVERSTONE

A tactic is not a strategy.

A strategy is not just a buzzword, an assortment of technological fixes, or consulting firm templates.

A strategy demands a clearly defined, quantifiable goal objective, and a clear sequence of actions designed to lead there. That's the sort of fundamental understanding I bring to all my work, whether as part of a team, as the leader of a team, or as an independent consultant.

I’m passionate not just about strategy, but about the research that underpins the best strategies, the narratives that propel them, and the systems that sustain them and create lasting change.

As a student and colleague of I Have a Strategy (No, You Don’t) author Howell Malham, political economy expert and Austerity author Mark Blyth, and Toscafund CCO Robert Lord, I’ve learned firsthand how to develop and apply strategies in fields from social good to political economy to finance. My broad range of experience gives me tremendous versatility and adaptability within an organization. Put me to work for you now.
