WINNING TOGETHER
Strategic Growth & Innovation Use Cases
Problem
A multi-billion-dollar global tech OEM faced stagnant growth and margin erosion. Despite significant R&D spending, its innovation pipeline consisted primarily of incremental product updates, leaving it vulnerable to disruption. The CEO’s satisfaction with innovation performance was critically low, and the company was perceived as a “fast follower” rather than an industry leader.
Action
Experts partnered with the C-suite to launch a comprehensive growth transformation. The engagement included a full portfolio teardown using the Three Horizons model, revealing 90% of innovation funding trapped in low-risk, low-return core projects. The team helped leadership reallocate 30% of the innovation budget to new services and adjacent category expansion, co-launched agile sprints to rapidly prototype and validate new offerings, and designed new governance processes to accelerate decision-making.
Results
Within 18 months, the transformation delivered market-leading performance:
- Launched a new subscription business generating $150M+ in high-margin revenue
- Built innovation pipeline with $500M+ potential across ten new initiatives
- Advanced market position from fifth to second in core category
Industrial Conglomerate Reinvention
A $4B industrial conglomerate struggling with fragmented portfolios and declining margins engaged Experts to identify growth adjacencies. Through deep-dive portfolio segmentation and a $200M Growth PMO with stage-gate processes, the company generated $780M incremental revenue within 24 months, enhanced EBITDA margins by 320 basis points, and accelerated time-to-market by 40%.
Southeast Asian Rideshare Launch
A major Southeast Asian conglomerate partnered with Experts to enter the competitive rideshare market while boosting its emerging EV brand. By designing a vertically integrated, all-electric platform with an innovative employment model, the venture achieved #1 market share in Vietnam within 18 months, proved unit economics viability in Tier 1 cities, and accelerated brand exposure driving downstream EV sales growth.
AgTech Capital Deployment
Sitting on unallocated capital, a Controlled Environment Agriculture company needed clarity on high-return deployment opportunities. Experts analyzed data and insights from industry veterans and former competitors, revealing untapped growth nodes across North American segments. The engagement delivered a focused $125M investment roadmap with specific acquisition targets, transforming the capital strategy from scattered bets to structured, high-impact action.
