Scoped to match where your business actually is โ from initial examination through to structured regional expansion.
โ Back to HomepageOur Approach
How We Conduct Market Work
Our methodology is built around producing findings that are honest, current, and useful for internal decision-making. We don't work from templates โ each engagement is scoped and conducted around the client's specific business, market, and decision context.
Scope Definition
Begin with a clear written brief that defines what the engagement will address and what it won't
Primary Research
Direct contact with market participants, regulatory bodies, and sector sources for current intelligence
Analysis & Synthesis
Findings structured around the decision the client needs to make, with clear implications stated
Delivery & Discussion
Written report plus client presentation session โ space to ask questions and discuss implications
Market Feasibility Study
A careful, evidence-based examination of a target market before commitment of significant resources. The study examines market size and structure, competitive landscape, regulatory considerations, and potential entry barriers relevant to your specific business and offering.
Findings are presented in a clear written report with an accompanying presentation, designed to support informed internal decision-making rather than to advocate for a particular outcome. Useful for businesses weighing whether and how to enter a new market โ locally, regionally, or internationally.
What the Study Covers
Process Steps
Kick-off discussion to define scope, target market, and key questions the study should address
Primary and secondary research phase โ typically two to three weeks depending on scope
Draft findings reviewed internally before delivery, with honest treatment of limitations
Delivery of written report plus facilitated presentation session with your leadership team
Starting From
RM 1,100Timeline: 3โ4 weeks
Best For
Businesses at the stage of evaluating whether a specific market is worth entering โ before committing significant resources to a full entry strategy or operational preparation. Equally useful for businesses that have considered a market but want independent analysis before making an internal decision.
Best For
Businesses that have already determined a market is worth pursuing โ through their own assessment or a prior feasibility study โ and are ready to develop a structured, organisation-owned plan for how to enter. Particularly useful when multiple entry options or channel choices exist and the leadership team needs to reach a shared, well-reasoned position.
Market Entry Strategy Development
For clients who have determined that a market opportunity is worth pursuing, this engagement develops a well-structured entry strategy addressing positioning, channel selection, partnership considerations, and the sequencing of activities.
Developed collaboratively with your leadership team over four to six weeks, drawing on primary research, stakeholder conversations, and sector knowledge. The approach acknowledges that entry strategies need to be owned by the organisation that will execute them โ not simply received from an external party.
What the Strategy Addresses
Process Steps
Strategy framing workshop with your leadership team to establish starting points and key strategic questions
Research phase including primary interviews with market participants, channel contacts, and sector specialists
Iterative strategy development sessions with your team โ typically two to three working sessions over the engagement
Delivery of final strategy document and facilitated alignment session to finalise and agree the approach
Starting From
RM 3,200Timeline: 4โ6 weeks
Expansion Planning & Advisory
A comprehensive advisory engagement for businesses ready to move beyond their initial market foothold and develop a broader regional or multi-market presence. Covers expansion sequencing, resource planning, organisational readiness, and the refinement of operating models across markets.
Engagements typically run over two to three months and include both strategic planning work and selective market intelligence. An ongoing advisory option is available for clients who want continued support through the implementation phase.
What the Engagement Covers
Process Steps
Strategic review of current market position, operational capabilities, and expansion objectives
Market prioritisation work โ assessing potential expansion markets against strategic criteria and readiness factors
Expansion planning sessions with leadership โ sequencing, resource requirements, operating model considerations
Delivery of expansion roadmap plus, for clients who opt in, ongoing advisory through implementation
Starting From
RM 5,300Timeline: 2โ3 months
Best For
Businesses with demonstrated success in at least one market who are thinking carefully about where and how to grow next. Suitable for companies with two to fifteen years of operating history in their home or primary market, considering their first or second regional expansion.
