We’re rewriting the rules for independent businesses.
Most strategy consultants deliver a deck and disappear. We stay until it sticks.
Scrap Strategies exists to encourage the successful practice of conscious capitalism—helping values-driven organizations turn complexity into clarity with research-backed strategy and hands-on implementation.
We’re drivin equally as much by things we don’t do, as the things we do. It's our own practice of tradeoffs.
Here’s what we don’t do:
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all playbooks. We don't hand you recommendations and wish you luck. We don’t give you gut feeling motivations to justify our recommendations. We don’t apply someone else’s growth strategy to your organization.
In exchange, here’s what we get to do instead:
We research and measure to build an informed baseline. We check with the humans who build and consume it all. We measure success by your benchmarks. We build strategies with your team, operationalize them into systems you can actually sustain, and stay through the hard part: making sure they work.
Why We Do This?
Independent businesses (companies built by founders who chose the hard way) account for the vast majority of the American economy.
When they grow with integrity, serving employees, society, and the environment, they don't just contribute to the economy. They reshape it.
But here's the problem: 49.4% of businesses fail within five years.
And the ones doing it independently—without corporate playbooks or venture formulas—face even steeper odds. That's where we come in. We help founder-led, values-driven organizations uncover their competitive edge, align their teams around one winning direction, and build the operational systems to execute it.
No corporate jargon. No cookie-cutter frameworks. No strategies that die in Drive.
What Makes Us Different
Research-Led, Not Opinion-Based
Hunches don’t cover payroll. Stakeholder research, Voice of Customer insights, and competitive analysis grounds us in evidence.
Human-First, Always
Teams don't resist change. They resist being excluded from it.
Involving people early through converstion and co-creation create strategies teams believes in.
Execution-Focused
Information is irrelevant if it’s not leveraged. We don't just plan, we operationalize until insights become systems that become habitual.
Built for Conscious Capitalism
Values become measurable, working systems. Purpose isn't a tagline, it's infrastructure.
We help you prove that doing good and performing well aren't competing priorities.
Our Core Value Is Simple:
Do Good* Business.
We define "good" as:
Be Intentional. Every decision, every recommendation, and interaction has purpose behind it. Take Best Action. Do the best we possibly can with the most complete information available. Practice Generosity. Be generous in our assumptions and service to our community.
This is how we work, how we measure success, and what we expect from ourselves and our clients.
If we sound like a good fit for your team, customers, and business needs, we encourage you to reach out.
