Who

  • Leaders of B2B companies who are frustrated that their business is not achieving the market traction and financial success it deserves
  • B2B leaders who are ambitious to upgrade from “supplier” to “valued partner” among their target customers
  • Companies with strong operating models but limited market awareness, leading to every sale feeling like it is the first

What

  • Understand and leverage the sources of value in your current relationships
  • Identify the opportunities for increasing the value perceived by customers and the premium they will pay for that value
  • Quantify the performance and valuation gains that can be unlocked through adding and/or streamlining activities
  • Develop an integrated plan to deliver and capture that value

  • 25+ years of consulting experience across a broad range of B2B industries
  • Specific expertise with B2B companies that sell via intermediaries

How

  • We will show you how our SAVE (HBR) and Strategy of Change (MITSMR) frameworks are the key to unlocking value in your context
  • We will establish the basis for your sustained success through integrating the strategic, marketing and financial dynamics of your business
  • We will quantify the value that can be unlocked by change – and the value at risk from business as usual

Learn how to focus on customer outcomes through SAVE – the adaptation of the classic 4Ps framework to the B2B context (article published in the January/February 2013 issue of HBR).
