§ We work closely with clients to help them explore and engineer
their competitive position and story in the market
§ The key is to look in equal measure at the market, customer,
competition and your organization to construct a robust and
believable story that puts you at an advantage:
– Are you showing that youunderstand the marketbetterthan
others?
– Are you directlydemonstratinghowandwhy you are different?
– Are you tellingaclearand logical story thatis memorable?
– Are you deliveringchallenging ideas?
– Are you preempting theirreal concerns and showing you
empathize with problems– and can solve them?
– Are you talking abouthowyoubenefit themas people and as a
business,as opposedto talking solutions?
– Are you aligningwith the market’s long-termand businesslevel
requirements?
– Are you demonstrating that youcan think ahead of,andinnovate
beyond,their current technology needs?
– Do you have the position,and proposition,andmessage,to deliver
it at every level?
