We help you understand which market opportunities to invest in

So, you’ve used something like the jobs to be done framework or you’ve otherwise identified the consumer needs you think your product or category can fulfill. You’ve done some opportunity scanning and identified some of the areas you could play in. But identifying which business opportunities to invest time, money and energy in is still unclear. That’s where we can help.

We develop customized scoring and ranking solutions which consider four axes:

  1. The customer need underpinning the opportunity
  2. The degree to which this opportunity makes sense for your brand
  3. The resources required to explore the space
  4. And the market or commercial realities

Market opportunity assessment: Unpacking four axes

The customer need underpinning the opportunity

Some needs are bigger than others, and some needs are worth paying more for than others. We’ll help you understand how big this customer need is, for which segment(s), and how to identify potential customers who’ll pay for it.

The degree to which this opportunity makes sense for your brand

Some opportunities might be huge for the category but represent a direction your brand doesn’t want to go. We’ll work with you and your stakeholders – including your customersto score each opportunity based on brand fit and stretch.

The resources required to explore the space

Some business opportunities will be more costly to explore than others. Some might be quick wins, while others require task forces and capital investment. We’ll help you work out the difference.

The market or commercial realities

Some opportunities represent bigger potential value gains than others. We can help you with market and opportunity sizing to justify why Opportunity A (which is more costly to explore, for example) actually is the one you should be taking seriously (because it represents a $100M opportunity).
