Do you really have “Need Driven Innovation” nailed?

The existence of businesses worldwide is based on addressing needs in the market.

Needs are tricky things to address. Needs evolve over time and the way to address these needs is never static. With technology innovation ever increasing in speed, companies are facing challenges to keep up with the speed of change and the ability to address ever-changing needs. And if you’re not in touch with the market, the lack of speed and the lack of adaptability will slowly but surely lead a company to its downfall.

To survive and grow, businesses need increase their baseline understanding of needs in the market. More specifically, companies need to understand the drivers and motivations of these needs. This is about thinking outside-in before developing your business. This is true in general for all enterprises, for New Product Development, and even more relevant for start-ups and ventures.

TTC Strategy helps growth environments – start-ups, ventures, innovation owners –  define a stronger, outside-in driven business proposition. TTC Strategy helps with gaining clarity of key segments to address, which benefits are sought by the market, which reasons to believe are required to deliver on these benefits and, thus, what makes the start-up or venture so special and potentially so successful. TTC Strategy will help you build relevant Value Propositions and Business Models to increase the odds of success through need driven value creation and growth.

It’s all about identifying and defining the right need in the market in the first place.

Great adventures await those who are willing to Turn The Corner!
