About Us
It's better to be uncomfortable now, make the mistakes in a safe and controlled environment and learn while we have the time, rather than learning the hard way!
Sora Strategies leads you and your leadership team through your risk assessments, stakeholder identification, supply chain impact assessments and crisis event execution approaches in a structured and safe way. With the facilitators on the day, and the coaches as part of your leadership team you can set yourself up for superior performance during any unexpected event.
The story behind Sora
sora – 空 (そら) : a noun meaning ‘sky’ in Japanese
We chose the name Sora as it speaks to the blue-sky thinking behind our strategic approach to problem solving.
When used as a verb it also means to "remember by heart", and when followed by "de", it takes on the meaning of "means" or "method".
Therefore, with one simple word, it describes our blue sky approach to creating new strategic methods and embedding them in to your organisation, so that when the inevitable happens, you know them by heart.
