Where Strategy Becomes Behavior
KMC Consulting’s strategy practice is led by Kyle Harkema, Chief Strategy Officer, a seasoned executive and scholar-practitioner who helps organizations align strategy with real-world execution. Kyle, author of Strategic Clarity, created the Strategic Orientation Index (SOI)—a behavior-based diagnostic that reveals how firms think, listen, and act in the market. His work helps leadership teams surface misalignment, sharpen market responsiveness, and translate strategic intent into coordinated, repeatable behavior that drives growth.

“SOI was the first tool that actually revealed how differently our teams were interpreting and enacting strategy. SOI gave our leadership team a shared language for issues we’d been feeling but couldn’t measure.” — Mitch Kehler, CEO, KMC Controls

“Kyle offers executives a clear, research grounded way to diagnose why strategy breaks down in behavior and how to fix it. A rare fusion of academic rigor and managerial clarity.” — Vijay Govindarajan, Thinkers50 Hall of Fame, Coxe Distinguished Professor of Management, Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College

“Harkema is one of those rare strategists that actually makes complex ideas feel usable. Kyle Harkema takes big concepts and breaks them down into clear, practical guidance leaders can apply right away.” — Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach

“I’ve watched countless executives freeze, panic, or double down at exactly the wrong moment. Harkema’s quadrant framework finally explains why — and more importantly, shows leaders how to break these patterns when it matters most.” — Charlene Li, New York Times bestselling author
