Redesigning the product portfolio, delivering profitable growth
A consumer products client was integrating acquired product lines that added substantial complexity with significant overlap across price points and features. Strategy& helped to redesign the product portfolio and establish standard product platforms with differentiation to meet distinct value criteria. The product platforms enabled consolidated operations and efficiency improvements that reduced the cost of goods sold by almost 20%, while delivering sales growth two points above the category average.
Driving growth strategy with differentiated capabilities
A large company began to see declining performance from some of its most profitable brands. Strategy& was engaged to develop a growth strategy based on a differentiated capability system, considering the largest opportunities across multiple businesses. We focused on how the client could add value to consumers, the critical few capabilities they had today and those capabilities that they must invest in to gain a right to win. This combined market-back and capability-forward approach enabled the company to develop a clear strategy focused on its greatest strengths and how its distinct capabilities could work together to provide a competitive advantage. The new strategy provided clear growth guardrails to prioritise investments and focus the organisation. As a result of our work, the company saw solid growth with increased operating profit and net sales.
Leading retailer redefines omni-channel economics
A large online and offline retailer was struggling to compete with pure play online retailers on cost and service levels. In order to lower costs and get products to the shopper’s door more quickly, Strategy& helped the client invest in a ship-from-store capability, not just as a “surge capacity,” but as the primary means of e-commerce fulfillment. Strategy& worked with the client to develop best-in-class operations for in-store picking and packing, including time standards, lean six-sigma-process improvements, and packing area layouts. As a result, the client was able to significantly reduce fulfillment costs and improve service levels, making its offerings much more competitive and maintaining the viability of the store base.
