Case Studies

Rapid change and volatility are everywhere you look. There are bullish and bearish indicators in the market and in your field. You must differentiate yourself and your business. To thrive, your organization must be “mission critical” and create overwhelming value for your clients.

Here are some of the ways we’ve helped our clients create value for their clients.

A multi-billion dollar global business unit needed a vision and strategy to accelerate growth, expand market share, and grow top-line revenue – all while mitigating risk. Aviv Consulting was brought in to help create and implement this plan with the executive team.

We began by helping the executive team evaluate threats and opportunities, so they could develop future scenarios.

We conducted a series of global workshops, involving a hundred people from multiple functions and client organizations, to develop ideas that drive growth and innovation.

We held a three-day strategy summit with the senior global team to explore the growth opportunities, ideate business development options, and agree on top priorities and an execution plan.

The team asked, “Where are we as a team?” “Where are we going?” and “What must be true for us to win?” During the summit, the team realized they needed to make critical portfolio choices that would allow them to repurpose resources for their highest growth opportunities.

Combining business-and-strategy conversations with leadership, coaching and culture topics helped the team align on an inspired course of action.

The senior team honed the strategic priorities and energized the entire organization. The business unit’s focused execution led to spectacular growth.

For five successive years, the team’s annual revenue and shipments—resulted in unparalleled industry leadership.

Develop a portfolio of disruptive innovations

The CEO of a multinational corporation charged the president of the new business creation (NBC) groups with rejuvenating the innovation portfolio of the company. They needed to develop a series of disruptive innovation opportunities and new businesses. The president assembled a task force of inventors, and leaders from the marketing, consumer knowledge, design and R&D functions and business. Aviv Consulting was brought in to help design and facilitate the work of the task force to accelerate results.

We interviewed the members of the task force to learn about how they work best and how they’ve produce their best breakthroughs.

We helped design the task force space and choreography of the innovation process. The process included carefully designed stimulations and ideation techniques, sequenced to accelerate idea throughput.

We facilitated divergent and convergent conversations and structured and unstructured display thinking sessions to accelerate new connections and “force serendipity.”

We helped the task force evaluate the strategic fit and potential of the opportunities and select the best innovation and business ideas.

The task force developed an innovation portfolio made of 32 new business opportunities. The new businesses include a series of disruptive technologies with opportunities for multi-billion dollar brands.

A task force manager said: “We’ve been able to collapse a two-week incidence into 12 hours.”
