Riassunto

Leverage big data and demand into sustainable profitable growth

Optimizing Growth is a handbook for how to succeed  in the age of big data. Today’s business environment looks dramatically different than it did even a decade ago, and it continues to evolve at an increasing rate; macroeconomic shifts, consumer trends, technological advances, and changing competitive dynamics are accelerating the pace of change, and businesses are struggling to grow amidst the turbulence. This book provides insightful guidance, real-world success stories and practical tools to achieve growth in this new era, utilizing big data to achieve a deeper understanding of demand, customers, competitors, and opportunity. With disruption around every corner, growth now demands innovative new approaches and an improved capacity to meet customer needs; by gaining a stronger grasp of demand, businesses can elevate performance from “survive” to “thrive.”

This book provides the approaches, analytics, frameworks, and organizational capabilities required to gain competitive advantage, and describes the new mindset required to leverage these tools into sustainable growth.

• Develop a deeper understanding of your business’s growth factors
• Re-sync your thinking to gain greater leverage against disruption
• Delve deeper into demand, and boost fulfillment capabilities
• Capture more growth opportunities using precision analytics frameworks

The one thing that will never change about business is the goal of growth―but the paths to growth change continuously. New opportunities forge new routes to the top, while others become obsolete―does your company know the difference? The ability to differentiate between fads and genuine evolution is more critical than ever before. Optimizing Growth provides deep knowledge of what’s out there, and a clear framework for forging ahead.

Dalla quarta di copertina

No matter what business you're in, or the size of your organization?whether you head a sprawling multinational telecom, a mid-size clothing manufacturer, or a one-person financial planning service?sustainable growth is key to your business success. But in a time of unstable macroeconomic conditions, massive demographic shifts, ever-changing consumer demand, and disruptive new technologies, organic revenue growth is harder to achieve than ever before.

In such a world, traditional growth models fall woefully short of the mark. Clearly, new growth strategies tailored to today's global, customer-centric markets are called for. Such models should drive actionable insights into consumer demand. They should provide rigorous systems, informed by the latest "Big Data" capabilities, for gleaning deep insights into customers, beyond simply who they are and what they buy. They should reveal what consumers really think about your products and/or services, as well as their perceptions of your brand versus your competitors'. They should also help you divine the most promising emerging opportunities. And, critically, they should arm you with sophisticated, time-tested techniques for translating those insights into strategies for identifying the most attractive customer segments and winning with them by creating compelling messages that reach customers via their preferred media channels, tailoring offers to those customers' specific demands and expectations, and intercepting them when and where they purchase.

While that may seem like an impossibly high mark to shoot for, the fact is, such a model already exists; and wherever it has been implemented, at business organizations around the world, the results have been nothing less than spectacular. Learn all about it in Optimizing Growth.

A handbook for surviving and thriving in the age of Big Data, Optimizing Growth arms you with approaches, analytics, frameworks, and organizational capabilities guaranteed to spark dramatic, sustained growth and provide your company with an unbeatable competitive advantage. Just as important, it helps you to overcome any hidebound biases and presumptions you may have about growth planning and to develop the new mindset required to leverage these tools for sustainable growth.

Achieving sustainable growth was never a simple proposition. But in our social-media driven, hypercompetitive global marketplace it is becoming more difficult to attain by an order of magnitude with each passing year. Offering a proven system for giving your organization greater competitive advantage, Optimizing Growth provides you with deep insights into what's really happening out there, and a clear framework for forging ahead.
