Experience

IGS conducts Market Strategy Reviews to help investors and company executives evaluate market trends and opportunities, choose among strategic alternatives, clarify an existing strategy in preparation for additional investment or sale, and benchmark their performance relative to the competition. Representative issues addressed include:

Should we expand into a related market?
What do we do well and where are we vulnerable?
Why did we miss our numbers?
Has there been a shift in channel or competitor share?
How do we best realize our investment in this business?

The process for a strategy review is highly customized to meet the needs of the client but generally includes:

Interviewing clients to confirm key strategic issues
Gathering relevant public and proprietary market data
Analyzing key issues
Interacting with the management team as appropriate
Facilitating a review of findings and developing an action plan as appropriate

Timing varies based on scope and client requirements but is typically between 4 and 6 weeks.

Some examples of analyses which can be employed in a strategy review follow:
