Course Description

For many leading CAS practices, vertical specialization and industry focus can be transformative for practice success and sustainable growth. But what does it take to transition from serving clients as a “generalist” to creating a strategy that concentrates on serving a more specific ideal client profile? And how can these efforts have a positive impact on your firm?

In this webinar, CAS practice leaders share their strategies for effectively developing and executing this strategy. From adopting CAS 2.0® methodologies, developing a specialized tech stack design, and sharing insights into overcoming roadblocks, this expert-led discussion will leave you with practical knowledge to begin elevating your advisory services through a vertical approach.

Learning Objectives:


  • Recognize the concept of verticalization applied to CAS practices and its significance in driving sustainable growth

  • Outline the transition process from serving clients as a generalist to adopting a vertical strategy tailored to specific ideal client profiles

  • Identify practical methodologies, such as CAS 2.0®, for developing and executing a verticalized strategy within your CAS practice

  • Distinguish key factors of a verticalized tech stack design and identify strategies for overcoming the roadblocks that challenge implementation
