OVERVIEW
About Us
WHO WE ARE
An alternative path to help you achieve your goals.
You want your people to capture these opportunities successfully by shifting their concept of what’s possible and inspiring the motivation to run after even the toughest challenges. This must drive tangible, bottom-line results quickly and permanently; it cannot just be the latest initiative whose results aren’t sustained.
This is what we do, together. We believe that all organizations have game-changing potential hidden within their current operations. We work alongside the people who know your organization your best – your people – to realize the full extent of this opportunity.
MISSION, VISION, VALUES
We exist to unleash potential in the world.
We strive to do this every day for our clients and our employees, helping them achieve more than they ever thought possible. Together, we are changing the way the world operates.
Be Curious
We strive to understand how things work. We are not intimidated by the unknown because we know learning brings joy, energy, and happiness.
Embrace Personal Development
We seek out and share feedback to improve ourselves and others, especially when uncomfortable, frightening, and challenging. We see challenges as opportunities to grow and are transparent about development opportunities in ourselves and others.
Everything Can be Better
We challenge perceived limits and overcome them. “It can’t be done” inspires us to run toward that challenge to prove, yet again, that it can be done.
Be Relentless in the Pursuit of Results
It is results that change the world. While others may wait, we seek out the most important opportunities and take action to realize them.
People Matter
The journey we are on is, in the end, about helping people grow and be more successful, internally at Stroud, externally with our clients, and with others with whom we interact. Success is more enjoyable when we share it with others.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Stroud International is committed to embracing diversity of all kinds, supporting our employees such that we can all share in success, and ensuring that our culture is one of respect in which all employees are encouraged and enabled to take part. We also aim to represent these principles as we interact externally with our clients.
If you would like to learn more about our ongoing DEI initiatives and campaigns, don’t hesitate to contact us for further information.
HISTORY
We’ve been helping organizations for more than 20 years.
Stroud was formed in 2001 by a group of partners with a shared commitment to transforming the operational improvement approach. Stroud operates worldwide out of its Calgary (Canada), Boston (US), and London (UK) offices to provide services in English, German, Spanish, French, and we have significant capability in other European languages.
We work in a wide range of businesses in both the public and private sectors. When Stroud was founded, our core work was in the manufacturing and chemical sectors, including food and beverage, paper and packaging, fiber and materials, oil and gas, and mining. We maintain a strong and growing client base in these sectors and, in recent years, have expanded our scope to include defense services, infrastructure, and healthcare. Our approach has broad application, and we continue to develop our offering into new and exciting areas of business.
