Validating assumptions through additional research
Inevitably when analysing your business and market, some assumptions are made based on internal views that are incomplete or incorrect. We encourage businesses not to stop at assumptions, but to validate them.
There are a few ways we do this:
Talking to customer facing teams, to gather additional intel from the people in your business who have the most interaction with your customers: sales and customer service or after-sales support.
Secondary research sources, such as ABS data, market research reports, industry reports, research papers and the like.
Primary research methods, including customer interviews and surveys mostly. When more significant research is required - due to complexity, scale or research expertise needed - we can help you engage a specialist market research agency.
To find out how we can work with you on your market research and strategic innovation needs, the costs and timeframes involved, book a Discovery call with us.

Industrial businesses need robust marketing strategy more than most
The average industrial business tends to lag behind other sectors when it comes to marketing capability. Subsequently marketing is less impactful, out of sync with sales, and marketing effectiveness is often not able to be measured well.
In an increasingly complex and digitised world, it is more important than ever for businesses to understand their market, structure a strong brand position and develop a strategy for success.

FAQs for our strategic analysis services
-
What's your favourite design thinking tool?
We love the Business Model Canvas and use it for many purposes. Apart from using it to map out existing business models and innovate on future potential business models, it's also a great tool for marketing. Each of the boxes within the model essentially correspond to a key part of the marketing planning process.
-
What is the turnaround time for each workshop?
Most workshops can be delivered in a day. And since we use digital tools to capture the information and insights, we normally deliver the workshop outcomes within 24 hours, after we do some post-workshop polishing.
-
Do you use any traditional business strategy tools or templates too?
Yes, in addition to more modern design thinking tools (from the past 20 years or so), we also rely only tried and tested business management models to assist in mapping and analysing a business.
Some examples include:
- 3 Horizons framework
- Perceptual mapping
- 4Ps framework
- Growth-share matrix
- 3Cs positioning
- PEST / Environment analysis

Marketing that drives sustainable business growth
Most businesses we work with have growth goals and need help to develop and execute the strategy, such as:
- new products or services to launch
- geographic or market expansion
- an acquisition or merger
For others, it’s less about product/market or revenue growth, and more about growing profit or effectiveness due to:
- a change in competitive / market conditions
- an opportunity to optimise performance
- improve customer alignment
