Strategic projects usually take between 8 and 16 weeks – from the search space to validated models to a roadmap ready for decision-making to roll-out. Compact workshops offer a quick start and rapid progress.
Senior management and division managers are key drivers. Depending on the size of the company, a core team is supplemented by strategy, sales/product management, HR, and technology. Without top management involvement, business model innovation remains ineffective.
A strategic roadmap with prioritized options, validated business models with market data, and structures for scaling and rollout. The result: readiness to make decisions on investments or stop/go decisions.
We work with hypotheses, test designs, and clear KPI sets. Risks, opportunities, and ROI scenarios become transparent, enabling management to make robust decisions.
We use AI pragmatically: for idea generation, market and data analysis, and validation. At the same time, we examine, which new business models are currently opening up thanks to AI technologies – from data-based services to platform approaches.
Then you gain data, clarity, and save resources. An early “no” is cheaper and more valuable than a late market failure. That, too, is a measurable result.
