New tools and enhancements are released regularly, shaped by live business cases and evolving leadership needs.
Positioning Statement
Your Asset: A market-centric positioning highlighting your target customer, how your offering solves their needs and how you differentiate against alternative approaches. A clear strategic direction moving forward.
Why this is essential: In today's noise, clarity beats resources. Without a strong positioning, teams waste time, budgets, and send the target audience mixed signals that are lost. This tool anchors your positioning.
Target Sweet Spot
Your Asset: A visualisation of your leading buyers and their agendas to identify shared patterns in successful customer adoptions. Focus your teams on the right buyers, not just any buyers, and turn random opportunistic efforts into a clear path.
Why this is essential: Chasing too many targets stretches resources, lowers margins, and actually slows growth. This tool helps you identify where you've succeeded in the past and where to go next, giving every team a clear path forward.
Add-on: Use your real-world CRM data or win/loss reports for the highest level of insight. Re-upload data to compare quarter-by-quarter and measure progress.
Strategic Market Analyser
Your Asset: Insights into your current or new markets in a structured report that includes key elements such as market development, competitor analysis and risk assessment. Use the tool to dive deeper where necessary and plan a 6-week market sprint validation to decide on further investments.
Why this is essential: Markets change quickly. New players enter, customer needs shift, regulation changes, and past success no longer works in the future. Act before competitors move, with insights and the focus to drive confident decisions.
AlignGoals360
(Goals, KPIs & OKRs)
Your Asset: Clear priorities and KPIs that connect company goals to what people actually work on. Everyone knows what matters, what business success looks like, and how their work meaningfully contributes to moving the business forward.
Why this is essential: Shared objectives result in aligned teams. This tool brings board and management priorities into daily work. Goals are achieved through focus, accountability, and measurable objectives across the company.
Ideal Customer Profile
Your Asset: Know exactly who your best customers are – and aren’t. Focus your teams, offering, and messaging on the industries, segments, and personas most likely to convert and stay.
Why this is essential: Without a strong ICP profile, sales chase the wrong leads, marketing spends on the wrong campaigns, and product builds features for one-off cases. This tool creates alignment around your most valuable segment.
Offering Spectrum
Your Asset: Your current and future business model around your offering. Shape every aspect of your organisation to scale with intention, not improvisation.
Why this is essential: Your place on the spectrum influences every aspect of your business, your go-to-market strategies, operational structure, and the customer touch points. This tool will help you avoid increasing operational costs and missed targets.
Unique Value Proposition
Your Asset: Clearly, specifically, and in your customer's language, demonstrate why your offering matters. Align marketing, sales, and product around a value promise that drives demand and closes deals.
Why this is essential: Without a clear UVP, your business sounds like everyone else. This tool defines what sets you apart, ensures teams build and sell with purpose, and gives investors a reason to believe in your potential.
Narrative Builder
Your Asset: A compelling and engaging customer story that highlights your hero's journey. One that sales can tell, marketing can amplify, and customers can connect with.
Why this is essential: Customers don't buy features, they buy outcomes. Yet businesses and teams often fall into the trap of talking more about themselves than customers’ needs. This tool delivers your offering in a refreshing story from the viewpoint of your hero.
