We are the US headquarters of a global chemical company. We established a new business unit within our organization, and we needed a high level strategy. We had a product we wanted to promote through this business unit, but we needed to carefully determine how to generate added value, where our competitive advantage is, which market to go after with this product, what new applications have potential, how to promote our product through what channel, whether collaboration or partnership with other companies would make sense….etc. Natsuyo conducted a wide and deep market research, analysed vast amount of qualitative and quantitative data, and drilled down on a strategic direction we should take. The strategy helped us grow our business in the US. We are now onto another project with Natsuyo to develop a long-term strategy.
President, Global Chemical CompanyI needed to restructure my entire training programs, train other master trainers, and market my program differently. I met with Natsuyo every other week over Zoom for 6 months, and I am now confident that I can achieve my goal within the timeline I want. Natsuyo has a special ability to organize and analyse messy information, extract important and relevant information, while facilitating me to think creatively.
