Profit Strategy

Launching succesfull innovations never happen in a vacuum or in silos.  Understand price premium value drivers within your (micro) segments, price elasticity, and price perception are crucial elements in the mix.  

On top of that, how your price has become as important as what you price : new pricing models therefore have a crucial impact on your market succes and profitability.  
Our consultants have proven business success in supporting your innovation teams to capture your value creation and get a fair part of it.

Our starting point in organisations is often in market strategy and/or pricing.  But sometimes the solution is not in the market strategy or pricing.   When the real challenge is in the corporate strategy, we support organisations in reflecting on what made them excel and if the strategic drivers that made them excel in the past will remain the same drivers to ensure future success.  We have a strategy process that helps management teams reflect on their future strategic drivers (how to outcompete competition) - and their future areas of excellence (where we need the money in and focus on).

If your competitors are the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning - and the last thing on your mind in the evening ; you have a me-too strategy and it is not working.

By defining your future strategic drivers and areas of excellence you create a competitve differentiation to outperform your competition. Of course the most important question to be answered in strategy is ; what business do you want to be in (your sandbox).  Your next question to be answered is how to outperform your competitors in your sandbox.  

We facilitate strategic discussions based on strategic driver choices and the derived areas of excellence to invest in in order to outperform your competition.  The process is described by 

The ultimate strategy is one that makes competitors irrelevant.  It ‘s not about good management, but about the 5% you do differently.  That's what is called Strategic Leadership.
