Your challenge: Achieving profitable growth in uncertain markets Our solution: Systematic Innovation
Driving growth and profitability at the same time in the short and in the long-term is a daunting task by any stretch of the imagination. Achieving this in today’s highly volatile and uncertain markets is difficult to say the least. Not achieving profitability or growth is simply unacceptable to investors and stakeholders and will eventually lead to failure.
In the past, growth was the result of repeating the playbook of yesteryear – create great products and services, market and sell them well, expand distribution internationally, make acquisitions, consolidate, reduce costs and repeat. In today’s fast-moving global economy, it’s no longer that simple. Non-traditional and out-of-category competitors are disrupting traditional market leading companies, who simply do not have an answer to these disruptive innovators whom are not inhibited by the legacy constraints of the incumbents.
Organisations perform within their range of opportunities and within the boundaries of their current capabilities which are subjected to discontinuous change and sometimes rapid erosion and decay. So what then, is the answer? The answer to this growth and profit dilemma is closer at hand than you may expect. It can be found in new market opportunities served by new strategies supported by innovative new product and service offerings. eQvest Acceleration provides businesses with the tools they need to achieve sustainable growth.
Achieving sustainable growth and profitability does not necessarily require the abandonment of your current assets and capabilities. In fact, part of the solution is to learn how to leverage underutilized assets, capacities and capabilities. Traditional brainstorming methods encourage ‘thinking-outside-of-the-box’. This type of thinking is, however, unlikely to deliver viable ideas as it ignores the real-life constraints within which companies operate. eQvest Acceleration follows the principle of ‘constraint inspired innovation’, using ‘inside-the-box thinking’ to create value as your business transitions each stage of the organisational lifecycle. The eQvest Acceleration Process is an amalgam of consulting methodologies, toolsets and diagnostic solutions that have been tried and tested over the past 30 years.
In a highly volatile and uncertain business environment, conventional and formal planning simply does not work. In the presence of high-uncertainty, experimentation and not planning, will guide you to the next growth phase. In times of high-uncertainty there are no facts, only assumptions and educated guesses about what the future may hold. Putting these leap-of-faith assumptions to the test should be where your focus lies – proving them right or wrong. Tomorrow’s blockbuster idea may be disguised as a frustration, a difficulty or an unmet need of a current or potential customer – not another line extension of a rapidly maturing product.
Accelerating Your Growth
Has your revenue slowed down and your profits grounded to a halt?
Who’s to blame? The slow economy, price competition, regulatory hurdles, the weak rand, high interest rates, diminishing demand, and high labour, fuel, and electricity costs?
Could it be that your strategy has stalled out? How long can you continue to operate before you are forced to make radical changes or face the very real threat of failure?
Finding new growth in slow markets is possible, but only if you shift your strategy and change your tactics.
eQvest Acceleration is a one-of-a-kind business that practices what it preaches. Just like you we operate in the same market facing the same obstacles and trading conditions. Since the Dotcom crash in 2002, we had to pivot to new markets and offer new products and services to our clients. We vowed never to be at the mercy of recessionary economic cycles, market fluctuations, or competitor-counter actions, again.
We did our research, worldwide. We learned from companies that grew and excelled despite the difficult trading conditions. We adopted what we could and adapted what we had to.
These tried and tested techniques and methodologies are now embedded in various software applications and tools that we have used to propel our own business to number one in our sector, winning multiple awards and getting recognized by our industry and peers. These are the tools and methodologies we can now bring to your aid in your quest for sustainable revenue and profit growth.
Crafting Your Success
If we use the analogy of sport, then Professional Cycling springs to mind.
Unlike boxing where you slug it out face-to-face with a
competitor, in cycling your competitor or the competing team lines up next to
you, and from the moment the race starts will do whatever they can to defeat you.
The eQvest Acceleration Team will be like a cycling team,
working alongside you and assist you and your team in achieving the successes you
have planned for and are working towards.
Together, we'll turn your vision into reality and pave the way for long-term success.
