Strategy Advisory


“Big dreams that resonate with others inspire and energise.” – J. Kotter

 

Moving up the trajectory into successively higher-margin tiers of the market and shedding less-profitable products is something that all good managers do.

It is also clear what executives who target to create new growth should do: target the segments and products that established companies are motivated to ignore.

Many of the most profitable growth trajectories in history have been initiated by disruptive innovation.

Why Invest in Developing High-Return Market-Based Strategies?

The diagram below shows some of the major mega trends which are shaping our global society and the attributes that will determine the success and influence of the companies and institutions that will shape our future.        The globalization of the economy combined with an accelerated technology-driven global power shift and societal change has made the lifecycles of both business models and products shorter.

Demographic shift has brought millennials at the centre of their marketing and innovation strategies. These always-on globally connected and environmentally conscious crowds drive change in business. They want an “impact capitalism in which businesses take seriously the concept of “circular economy” make a net positive impact” in the world and adapt to their tastes and behaviours. Gone are the times where businesses can thrive by narrowly pursuing financial with total ignorance of negative externalities and shifting the real cost of doing business elsewhere.
