Work with Cypher Strategies
Private strategic analysis for consequential problems shaped by governance and institutional change.
Engagements begin with a focused conversation to determine whether governance-layer dynamics are materially affecting a current decision, planning assumption, operating environment, or strategic objective.
Many institutions can see the event. Fewer can see the systems that made the event possible.
Cypher Strategies works with leaders who need to understand what changed, why it matters, and what it means for the choices available to them.
Engagements
Cypher Strategies works on a selective, low-volume basis. Engagements are built around the strategic problem rather than a standard consulting menu.
Work may include independent strategic assessments, executive decision support, bespoke research and analysis, private briefings, and ongoing strategic counsel.
All engagements are led personally by Erika Lafrennie.
What Cypher Strategies Does Not Do
Cypher Strategies does not produce generic trend decks, off-the-shelf playbooks, or analyst churn.
The work is designed for problems where conventional categories do not fully explain the strategic environment or the choices available within it.
