Strategy & business development
Uncover opportunities to create winning strategies and drive business performance.
Why?
Identify and implement a customer-centric strategy that differentiates you from the competition and creates sustainable growth.
Developing your new product or service is just part of the innovation process. Can you articulate the value to investors and customers? What is your go-to-market strategy? What are your channels to market?
We will collaborate to explore the elements of the business model, such as how you create and capture value, how you plan to gain a competitive edge, your target customer and how to reach them. We use structured business development tools to probe deeply and translate the outputs into measurable and practical actions.
What?
Tools and methods we would typically use for developing strategies and a robust business model include:
Simon Sinek's 'Start with Why' is a simple but powerful model to explore the underlying purpose and values of every business.
