Examples of our work
Identifying and capturing growth opportunities
We helped a global medical-device client identify potential growth themes by using our proprietary growth-scanning solutions. We then applied machine-learning solutions and pulled in the best internal and external experts to prioritize growth themes and identify groups in the ecosystems to partner with or acquire.
Market analysis and insights
We helped a global consumer-electronics company double its market share in only two years. Using detailed data on individual-store performances and geographic-forecasting data, we created city clusters and prioritized the top areas with the greatest potential for growth. We then shifted resources, which helped the client move from fifth in the market to second.
Shifting mindsets to drive performance
We supported a global consumer electronics company in transitioning from being a fast follower into a leading innovator. Using the insights to action approach, the client was able to create a new breakthrough portfolio pipeline and had more than ten new areas of innovation under development with potential to generate over $500 million in revenue.
