Business Model Integration
Client Intake. We utilize an intensive business acumen to examine core opportunities and risks related to the market ‘as we know it today’ and what unfair advantages a client has such as brand awareness, location ownership, access to talent pool, strategic partners and proprietary data.
Market Overview. We look at over a hundred core market factors to benchmark existing trends and industry competitors including digital signals, location data, hiring trends, consumer behavior, and supply/demand ecosystems.
Strategic Considerations. Clients work with our strategic team to review and digest meaningful items from our core process to establish, refine and innovate new business models that can run in-parallel with existing initiatives or require long term strategic planning.
Financial Prospect. We examine core models to define benefits and risks associated to each core strategic initiative that is revealed throughout the process. Internal and external assets are weighed against labor and project budgets while considering revenue generation scenarios and loss of opportunity.
> Base Case Scenario – we assume that our client engages the market at the same rate the market is growing. It implies that each new industry entrant is getting a fixed share of the market, but is not expanding itself significantly ahead of other market competitors. We assume fair market growth and steady return on investment with a moderate risk of market change.
> Bull Case Scenario – we assume that the client engages the market at a slower rate than the market is growing, focusing on ‘safe bet’ opportunities and securing smaller portions of the market. Under this model client is focused on acquisition of long term assets that allow scaling when the market matures and specific risks stabilize.
> Bear Case Scenario – we assume that the client moves aggressively faster than market growth, focusing on market acquisition of assets in untapped portions of the market that have early growth indicators. Under the ‘gold rush’ model the client is focused on buying the core assets of the market (the land) for on-going revenue generation (digging for gold.)
