Our Logo
Our logo combines the images of a compass, a gyroscope, and a globe, representing the three dimensions of our practice: research, strategy, and growth.
The Compass best reflects
our strategic market research and analysis practice. Often,
companies are
so
focused on tactical execution they lose the perspective
of their strategic direction. By tapping into the voice
of the customer, benchmarking through
competitive
intelligence, and examining the overall market environment
through direct research, we are able to help companies chart
new directions, and better understand where they stand with
respect to their customers, competitors, and partners. We
do not just gather data, we interpret this data and present
it in such a way that our clients can determine where they
need to go next, anticipate where the next competitive threats
will surface, and evaluate whether or not they are on track
with their original plan.
The Gyroscope best represents
our unique non-linear special strategic positioning process.
In dynamic
and
competitive environments, companies must be flexible and
adjust to changing market conditions, yet they must remain
centered on their true core competencies and oriented toward
a clear alignment with their customers' enduring needs We
consider a company’s core essence to be its center of gravity,
and enduring customer needs to be the source of wealth creation
that they revolve around. Like a gyroscope maintains its
orientation even in a weightless environment, good strategic
positioning ensures that sustainable core competencies are
always oriented toward, and in alignment with, enduring
customer needs, even when strategic directions change.
The Globe illustrates our
ability to help our clients’ grow strategically through
collaboration and
integration
with other companies. It encompasses mergers and acquisitions,
strategic alliances, and capital investment/investor recruiting.
It also represents the global perspective and scope that
we bring to each project, as well as our ability to help
company's develop their business on a global basis. We are
particularly adept at supporting cross-national and cross-cultural
transactions, and offer a network of market specialists
in countries around the world.
