The real challenge

The challenge is telling the difference between a temporary shift and a structural change in the market — and repositioning fast enough to capture the new opportunity rather than defend a position that no longer exists.

Our Response

We help you tell the difference between a temporary shift and a structural change in your market, then move fast to capture the new opportunity through Market Strategy & Adjacency Development — rather than defending a position that no longer exists. The result: repositioning and opportunity capture, ahead of slower-moving competitors.

This is where CEOs and CMOs usually start when "the rules have changed" but the response isn't obvious yet. If it's less about the market shifting and more about competitors simply out-executing you in the same market, Competitors Are Winning is worth a look too.

FAQs

How do you tell if a market shift is temporary or permanent?

We look at whether the shift is being driven by a temporary factor (a single competitor's promotion, a short-term cost shock) or a structural one (a new entrant's business model, a lasting change in how customers buy). The response is very different depending on which it is.

What's the first step when the market has clearly shifted?

Usually a market strategy review: what's actually changed, what it means for the current position, and where the fastest, lowest-risk repositioning opportunity is.
