How we work with our clients A multinational hardware manufacturing company wanted to evaluate its growth opportunities related to the Internet of Things (IoT) in the US and develop a detailed go-to-market strategy for the business. Strategy& prioritized end markets, customer segments, and IoT use cases based on a detailed market-back assessment. We subsequently developed a coherent way to play, a go-to-market model (including acquisition and partner targets), and an implementation roadmap for the client. A global diversified industrial manufacturing company was facing increasing competitive pressures and market headwinds, and wanted to transform its North America operations to be ready for the future. Strategy& analyzed the current product portfolio, baselined the operations across all the business units, and assessed different manufacturing footprint scenarios and distribution options. The result was a completely new operations strategy and transformation roadmap, which streamlined the client's operations and product portfolio while also enabling significantly lower overall manufacturing and logistics costs. A global diversified industrial conglomerate wanted to understand the impact of the Internet of Things on its business and to define its technology strategy. Strategy& assessed the value drivers of each of the services, analyzed the current unmet needs, detailed competitive movements, and devised a high-level roadmap of the cross-business technology strategy. A global industrial manufacturer was faced with a lack of responsiveness in the sales and support organization due to organizational complexity. Strategy& diagnosed the issues by understanding the customers' unmet sales and support needs and designed an operating model to reduce the number of layers between the customer and the support team. This resulted in an increase in responsiveness in support, higher sales conversion rates, and better feedback into the design process. A multinational HVAC/R manufacturing company wanted to evaluate potential acquisition targets to grow its North American operations. Strategy& performed a feasibility and strategic fit assessment by conducting a diligence on multiple targets. In addition, a search and screen effort was executed to outline further M&A opportunities, listing small to mid-sized distribution partners and relevant HVAC/R businesses.
