About Us
Many people in organizations find themselves in situations where they know they have to think differently – outside the famous “box” – in order to achieve their objectives but they are at a loss for frameworks and tools.
Bluecrest Consulting uses an approach and toolkit to energize people inside organizations to develop completely fresh ideas to grow the business – in short, to themselves become entrepreneurial thinkers – instead of arguing over incremental market share growth targets or fighting for more budget.
Shortly after the first book “Blue Ocean Strategy” was published, Lauren Mathys was invited to join the first group of certified Blue Ocean Practitioners by the world-acclaimed INSEAD professors and best-selling authors of Blue Ocean thinking, W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne. Having already implemented Blue Ocean tools and frameworks with the personal help of W. Chan Kim prior to publication of the book, Lauren’s extent and depth of experience is difficult to surpass and her global network of qualified Blue Ocean coaches is extensive., thus ensuring that the right expert or team of experts will be assembled to meet your particular needs to achieve your goals, in every case.
