Construction growth strategy
Supporting the development and launch of a new sustainable-construction business proposition, combining market analysis, customer insight, commercial strategy and ESG positioning to identify and develop new corporate-client opportunities.
The starting point
A global construction business was developing a new sustainable-construction business line and needed to define where to compete, how to differentiate the proposition and how to position it with priority corporate customers.
The work combined market strategy, customer insight, commercial proposition development and ESG positioning.
Four business questions
