New Case Study: Value Genesis: Market Opportunity Scan
Discovers Consumer Innovation Opportunities
|
|
|
A
leading consumer durables manufacturer wanted to boost its modest and
unexciting growth by introducing innovative new products using in-house
developments and/or available technology. Past plans had yielded spotty
or mixed results and the process had been disappointing.
Product
Genesis decided to apply its Market Opportunity Scan (MOS), a
powerful set of tools whose first group of modules provides a framework
to capture a snapshot of "what's really going on here". Because
things are constantly changing, a fair degree of skepticism is
recommended when revisiting market assumptions.
With
the market accurately defined and performance characteristics of an
innovative product captured, enabling technology, that had already been
developed in-house, was identified to support the innovation opportunity.
The resulting innovative product line exceeded all expectations in
capturing increased market share from the broader competitive field.
