New business models

"New business models don’t simply address unmet market needs better; they offer an accelerated go-to-market approach through the adoption of innovative technologies. After all, creating value for new or existing customers is what makes companies successful."
Is your current business model at the end of its life? Do you want to generate new market potential? Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Unmet or undiscovered customer needs constitute an ideal breeding ground for successful new business models. How well do you know your customers’ desires and your market potential?
In the future, supply chains – not companies – will compete. Ecosystems are the perfect catalyst for developing new or extra business potential with customers.
Delivering successful new business models requires strong leadership. Are you already setting aside the necessary resources, accepting failure and embracing a culture of fast and repetitive experimentation?
Customers expect speed, fun and convenience when dealing with your business. More than ever, these business models are born from innovative technology and tooling and advanced data insights.

Engagement strategy

"Engagement strategy is about stipulating how to deal with your customers in the broadest sense of the word. This includes gathering insights via journeys & moments and applying your strategy by installing a better omni-channel experience and effective digital marketing."
What is the right moment to interact with your customers and what is the value of a touchpoint for your business? Discover the strength of a customer engagement strategy.

How is your digital ecosystem configured to get your customers to optimally engage? How do you set priorities in an ever-changing world? Do you choose impact or speed? We can help you make the right choice in order to meet business and customer needs.
Use social media to distribute content and to leverage influencers and brand ambassadors.
Strengthen your marketing strategy in a digitalized world by using your data in a smart way, not only in segmentation and personalized campaigns, but also to gain advanced insights and activation.
Identify your channels and map your customer needs via straightforward personas and overarching customer journeys.

Data strategy

"A well-founded data strategy allows companies to clarify the use of data across the organization and indicates how to realize competitive advantages with data. Once the data strategy is in place, you can convert your data into useful analytics "
Data is widely available within companies, but only 5% of them use that data to improve their decision-making. What about yours? Get useful insights now!

Define how ‘working with data’ and advanced insights generates competitive advantages, and how best to execute and capitalize on that vision.
Having the right data (touchpoints) and knowing how to leverage data is great, but you need an organization with clear roles and responsibilities to put your data strategy into practice.
Concept, processes, systems – and in that order. Align and distil your data strategy and processes into a clear data and tooling landscape that meets business requirements.

Technology and tooling

"Technology and tooling enable you to validate your existing IT architecture and then review it in relation to your organization’s vision. To what extent does your IT support your future organization and what needs to be done to reach the next level?"
Efficient data streams throughout your end-to-end processes are essential for a customer-oriented strategy. But do you have the right IT technology and tools? Get inspired!
