Significant shifts in any of these factors (it’s rarely only one) are able to be measured, calibrated against your competitors, assessed and acted upon.

It explores how an organisation responds to external market shocks and the resulting implications for market competitiveness and performance is presented with clarity and simplicity. It involves the gleaning of insights through bespoke research with market participants as well as standing research through industry and logistical data, industry journals, websites, and annual reports.
Normally conducted by consulting firms such as McKinsey, Bain and Accenture, investment in SCP is out of reach for mid-sized firms. Our approach hand-pick alumni of these firms to deliver the same result at a fraction of the cost.
