As a former strategy consultant to the Global 1000 much earlier in my career, I am familiar with the formulaic and templated problem solving. We only delivered bespoke solutions, though, because our strategy programs were generally tied to rebranding, which gets very specific to the business.
Nevertheless, I see the potential for deficiencies that you point out.
At my current company, CFO Pro+Analytics, I deal with emerging businesses generating less than $100 million of revenue, and tackle financially-oriented strategic growth issues. There is no cookie cutter here.
Very glad to hear how you've evolved your approach.
Once you've worked in both systems, "templated," as well as completely customized and "bespoke," it's obvious which one is more challenging, yet also far more rewarding....
Very helpful insights!
