CEO & Founder
JULIETTE BASTIAN
Strategy Works Consulting was founded in 2021 as the next chapter of Juliette Bastian’s more than 30 years of experience helping leaders turn strategy into execution.
Before founding SWC, Juliette built her expertise from inside organizations — working with executives and leadership teams on strategy execution, organizational performance, complex initiatives, and consequential change across government, nonprofit, higher education, and private-sector environments. That experience gives her a practical understanding of what happens after a strategy is approved: priorities compete, conditions change, people must adapt, and execution has to produce measurable results. During her time in county government, she was unanimously appointed the first African American Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in California — for the largest contiguous county in the United States — reporting directly to five elected officials and overseeing governance for a county of more than two million residents.
Today, through Strategy Works Consulting, Juliette brings that experience together with expertise in strategic planning and execution, organizational change, performance management and KPIs, workforce capability, executive facilitation, and AI-enabled organizational transformation.
Her work has supported organizations including the FDIC, Sandia National Laboratories, the University of Houston–Clear Lake, El Paso Water Utilities, and others navigating complex strategic and organizational challenges.
A Balanced Scorecard Master Professional and KPI Professional, Juliette combines rigorous strategy and performance disciplines with a practical ability to turn complexity into clarity, action, and measurable results.
Work with usOur Approach
Turning strategic intent into aligned execution
Companies are investing heavily in AI. But adding the technology doesn’t automatically improve the business.
The harder challenge is adapting the organization around it — strategy, people, how work gets done, and how performance is measured.
That’s where I work. I help CEOs and leadership teams navigate disruption and turn strategic intent into aligned execution and measurable business performance.
But AI isn’t the only pressure leaders face. Leaders are simultaneously navigating economic pressure, changing workforce expectations, tighter margins, new technologies, and increasing demands to move faster. I call this convergence the Triple Squeeze™.
The organizations that navigate it well don’t simply react faster. They create clarity around four questions:
- What are we trying to accomplish?
- What needs to change in how the organization works?
- What must our people be capable of doing differently?
- How will we know it's working?
Those questions shape how I work with leadership teams every day.
My expertise includes:
- Strategic planning and strategy execution
- Organizational alignment and change
- Performance management and KPIs
- Balanced Scorecard
- Workforce and organizational capability
- Executive facilitation
- AI-enabled organizational transformation
My approach is grounded in a simple belief: strategy doesn’t create results until the organization can execute it.
Through frameworks including the Triple Squeeze™, the C.A.R. Method™ (Connect • Action • Results), and North Star Trifecta™, I help leadership teams connect decisions, people, work, and measures of success — so change produces performance rather than more activity.
