THE PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

NEW INSIGHTS & FRESH PERSPECTIVES — AGAIN AND AGAIN

There are a number of key challenges that our clients regularly bring us.   Some are on the opportunity–realization side.   Others are on the strategic / corporate innovation side.   Some are well defined, but many come to us wide open.   Here, we mention just a few of those challenges.

Because of our experience and skill in the types of work we do, our work delivers the clarity our clients need to take action, and to do so with confidence.   And because we are objective, unbiased, and imaginative, we can deliver fresh new insights and solutions that are unfettered from the norms and status quos of their industries.

Opportunity Realization Challenges

Some of the most common challenges seen on the opportunity–realization front include:

• The need to get in touch with your markets' and customers' real ‘reason to buy’.
• The hunt for new strategies to kickstart accelerated (‘hockey–stick’) growth — especially in stagnant and saturated markets.
• The study, justification (qualification / quantification), and prioritization of specific new business opportunities.
• The desire to expand internal thinking around new opportunities and how to attack them.
• The need to develop truly ‘right-to-win’ go-to-market strategies for new business ventures, new brands, and/or new offerings.
• The need for positioning & pricing strategies that resonate via proper market segmentation by customer outcome needs & motivations.
• The need to rectify indistinguishable brands, ineffective marketing, and/or undifferentiated, commoditized offerings with fresh new Brand DNA.
• The need for new ‘right-to-play’ business & market strategies that will reverse customer attrition and/or revenue decline.
• The need to recover from a failed product or service launch.

Strategic / Corporate Innovation Challenges

Some of the most common challenges seen on the strategic / corporate innovation front include:

• The need to assess the organization's current level of innovation maturity & capability.
• The need to transform the organization's cultural mindset from short–term to long–term.
• The need to develop a sound, forward–looking, and properly–balanced growth & innovation strategy.
• The need for a high–functioning corporate innovation program uniquely customized to the organization — involving all the elements required to drive sustained innovation output.
• The need for an effective innovation management process customized to the organization — involving all the elements required to drive a productive pipeline of innovation.
• The need to kickstart under–performing corporate innovation programs and innovation management practices.
• The desire to assimilate new growth vehicles into the organization — including corporate venturing, open innovation, and other types of strategic partnerships.
• The need to implement new mechanisms of engagement to foster widespread intrapreneuring in the organization.
• The need to transform the workplace into one that fully unleashes all of the human potential of the organization's workforce.
