The problem we help you solve
Rapidly evolving technological breakthroughs and shifting consumer sensibilities are redefining the nature of products and the way in which those products are being perceived and experienced by consumers. As physical and digital worlds collide, market leaders are being persistently threatened and disrupted by the introduction of new channel, category and product innovations from a growing cohort of challengers and entrepreneurs.
The solution we help you achieve
The discovery of meaningful, technology-enabled business models and innovations that can become a proprietary and embedded element of the brand engagement construct.
What we mean by technology-enabled
These are innovations, rooted in new technological breakthroughs, that significantly enhance and extend the value proposition of new or existing brands to retail customers and consumers.
Innovations can be physical technologies that impact the product, packaging or the process. They can also be physical-digital technologies that result in new route-to-market innovations or that transform the manner in which consumers experience that brand.
Technology-enabled constructs create one or more of the following outcomes and benefits for a particular brand:
An unassailable leadership advantage in a new or existing market category
Distinct and unique functional and emotional differentiators
New business models and customer/consumer engagement mechanisms
We work with you to scope, build and execute a customized venturing framework that is geared to address your specific strategic priorities and opportunities. Normally, this is rolled-out in three phases:
Venturing Model
Validating a market-appropriate venture framework
Capability Network
Building the entrepreneurial ecosystem and internal capability
Innovation Stream
Sourcing, seeding and scaling strategically-relevant innovations
By 2020, brand winners will be underpinned by technology-enabled innovations and business models that are a proprietary and embedded element of the brand engagement construct
