Strategic Advisory.
Expertise for the Questions That Don't Require a Search.
We offer advisory services at the intersection of climate change, strategy, and organizational leadership. From workforce planning to technically grounded research, we help organizations navigate complexity in a changing world.
Our work falls into two areas: supporting organizations with leadership and workforce questions before, during, and beyond a search, and helping clients access expertise when the solution isn't a new hire.
Leadership and Workforce
Supporting organizations before, during, and beyond executive search engagements.
Sometimes the challenge begins before a role has been defined. Organizations may need to determine what capabilities they need, how a team should be structured, where relevant talent exists, or how to plan for an upcoming leadership transition.
Drawing on our practitioner experience and expansive view of the talent market, we help clients make those decisions with greater clarity.
Workforce planning and organizational design
Define the capabilities, team structures, and leadership roles required to support the organization's next phase.
Talent strategy and role definition
Translate organizational priorities into clear roles, candidate profiles, and strategies for finding the expertise required.
Executive benchmarking and market intelligence
Understand how comparable organizations structure leadership roles, where relevant talent sits, and how the market is evolving.
Hiring strategy and succession planning
Plan for future leadership needs, critical transitions, and the sequence of hires required as an organization grows or changes.
Technical and Strategic Advisory
Helping organizations access expertise when the solution isn't a new hire.
Some challenges call for focused analysis or outside expertise rather than permanent headcount. BeechTree supports organizations navigating discrete questions across climate, environment, and critical minerals.
Depending on the engagement, we may conduct the work directly, facilitate the right conversations, or help define and commission the expertise required.
Custom research and landscape analyses
Produce technically grounded research and analysis to help organizations understand an issue, landscape, or emerging area of work.
Risk and policy analysis
Help clients examine complex climate, environmental, resilience, and policy questions and translate the findings into useful decision support.
RFP and scope of work development
Turn a complex question into a clear scope, identify the expertise required, and develop the materials needed to engage an external consultant or firm.
Stakeholder facilitation and technical workshops
Design and facilitate focused conversations that bring the right expertise to the table and help organizations work through complex questions.
Advisory Shaped Around the Question.
Our advisory engagements begin with the problem rather than a predefined consulting package.
Some clients need a focused piece of research. Others need help understanding the talent landscape before deciding whether to hire. Others know they need outside expertise but need support determining what to commission and from who.
We scope each engagement around the decision you need to make, the expertise it requires, and the most useful form of support.
