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.
