The Firm
Critical Imperative:
The global competitive environment operates at the strategic layer. Most companies don’t spend the required time in risk and strategy – resulting in not only increased overall risk, but missing unseen opportunities.
BlackOps Partners was created over a decade ago with the foresight to directly address this requirement. We teamed top executives from intelligence, strategy, technology, and security to deliver the highest visibility and value to our clients.
We serve many clients across all industry sectors on a global basis.
‘We are dependent on the Invictus® tool for clarity, visibility, and alignment throughout our company. The economic and culture value-add is so powerful, we installed a center of excellence for risk and strategy with Invictus as the central process driver. It gives us level-up competitive advantage.’
