Identifying growth opportunities that deliver long term value in Healthtech

Health Tech / Growth Strategy

Our work  >  Case study  >  Health Tech / Growth Strategy

Context

A biotech unicorn had reached saturation in their current market and their growth trajectory was stagnating. They needed a 5 year strategy that identified new growth adjacencies and opportunities for them to move into and return to their rapid growth trajectory. 

6

adjacencies were analysed

Approach

We carried out a 3 month growth strategy project that involved a full assessment and analysis of the companies current strategic foundation, followed by identification, testing and modelling of new growth adjacencies.

Slide: To identify potential moves for the company we looked for opportunities across the 6 key areas of adjacency

From the analysis we identified a total of 6 potential adjacencies which we prioritised for the client based on the attractiveness of the opportunity and their likelihood to succeed.

Slide: Identified opportunities plotted on a 2x2 that looked at the size of the opportunity vs likelihood to succeed

Results

Three growth opportunities were identified that would drive the value the company wanted and had a high likelihood to be successful:

  1. Enter a new geography: We determined the best new geography to enter based on ease of entry, likelihood to capture share & market size
  2. Rationalize the product range: We identified an opportunity to reduce the range of products offered and focus on most profitable ranges
  3. Invest in new product development: We identified a gap in the market for our client in R&D, to become the clear leader in an emerging new technology

Over the last 5 years the company has doubled in value.
