Workstreams

Discover your investment’s full value potential.

Thinktiv’s superior commercial insights bring product-centric risks and opportunities into investment committee conversations and arm sponsors with actionable initiatives to implement post-close.

Weeks 1 - 2

Product Risk Assessment

The Product Risk Assessment evaluates the target's product strategy, and this strategy's alignment with GTM and growth strategies.

Also assessed are the product team's composition and practices, alignment between product and technology organizations, and user experience.

Risks are evaluated and weighed by the client's market position and future strategy, and prioritized by business impact.

Weeks 3 - 4

Value Creation Readiness

Value Creation Readiness uncovers the target’s most compelling opportunities for value creation, which can drive near-term revenue growth and long-term enterprise value.

It leverages the Product Risk Assessment and management interviews in concert with additional commercial, market, and financial-focused stakeholder interviews. 

Voice of Customer Research

Voice of Customer (VOC) research uncovers and validates user needs, pain points, and demand signals.

Thinktiv's VOC work includes both qualitative and quantitative methods, in order to determine which products & services create the most value and/or have competitive risk factors.

VOC research also surfaces opportunities for new and/or enhanced revenue streams.

Optional Workstream

AI Risk Assessment™ (AIR)
The AI Risk Assessment™ integrates an AI-centric lens into GRO workstreams. It evaluates a company's preparedness for AI disruption, identifies how disruption will impact the company, aligns AI to existing product roadmaps, and recommends light product opportunities to leverage AI.
