Case 1
Challenge
The core objective of this project was to provide our client with a clear understanding of the future strategy of one of its top competitors in the UK mobile operators business segment, through a structured and classical four corners analysis (understanding of competitor drivers, current strategy, capabilities and crucially deeply held market assumptions).
The B2B market represents a very dynamic and profitable segment in the UK that is traditionally little understood from a competitor point of view. Whilst operator strategies are more transparent in the B2C arena, developments in the B2B space have traditionally remained less clear and more complex to analyze.
Outcome
Our targeted research effort allowed for a unique understanding of competitor views in regards to what is driving them in the segment and their market segment assumptions, perceived satisfaction with current performance and positioning and crucially the focus areas for the future (e.g., Network, brand pedigree, distribution reach, handset range, managed services capability, value for money pricing, service models etc.).
Solution
After an initial scan of available insights in the secondary domain, we focused our conducting interviews across a wide range of sources from regulators, partners, suppliers, key clients and crucially senior former and current competitor employees.
