Questions

About Growth & Market strategy

What is a growth strategy?
A growth strategy decides where a company will find its next revenue: new customers, new markets, new products or better prices. strategy1 splits it into 5 decisions, each with its own deliverable: go-to-market, market entry, pricing, partnerships and customer experience. Each one is red-teamed before you commit to it.
What are the four main growth strategies?
The classic four come from the Ansoff matrix: market penetration (sell more to current markets), market development (take current products to new markets), product development (new products for current markets) and diversification (new products for new markets). strategy1's Growth & Market types cover the first three; new ventures sit in Future & Transformation.
When should a company hire a growth strategy consultant?
When a growth decision is large, hard to reverse and short of evidence: a launch, a new market, a price change or a major partnership. strategy1 starts with a free Strategy Readiness Scan to find the decision that matters most, then scopes it in a 72-Hour Strategy Bootcamp.
