    The challenge

    What the client faced

    The team wanted a common way to assess new markets, analyze value chains and find unmet needs, used consistently across regions.

    Our approach

    What we did

    A long-term partnership: initial setup and training, regional webinars, stage-gate alignment and an annual tools license with support.

    1. 1Tool setup and initial training for the strategic marketing team.
    2. 2Webinars for regional teams in Asia Pacific.
    3. 3Stage-gate alignment so tools feed innovation decisions.
    4. 4Annual tools licensing and support, renewed each year.

    Outcome so far

    The client’s Global Strategic Marketing Director describes the frameworks and tools as an instrumental resource for the team for years.

    What’s next: Annual license renewed for 2026.
