Strategic services

Deep understanding of the market, its potential and outlook, technology options, demand and growth drivers is fundamental to any strategy. That is why all of our work rests on mapping the market and building that understanding. This foundational piece can support pre-bid commercial due diligence, or feed the development of growth, go-to-market and portfolio strategy, with additional deep-dives on target segments.

Market Mapping

We bring a true perspective of the market, built specifically for you, from multisource data, expert and customer insight and modelled from the ground up. It offers an honest, coherent picture of the world to help you make strategic choices with clarity.

Pre-bid Commercial Due Diligence

Our foundational market mapping can be tailored to provide independent commercial intelligence for acquirers. We help you identify attractive markets, technologies and targets, assess strategic fit against your acquisition criteria, evaluate market and product synergies with the current portfolio, understand a target’s true position in its market, and flag the risks to watch and the opportunities to capitalise on.

Growth Strategy & Value Development

A bird’s-eye view of your market landscape makes it clear where the summits are, and which are the most lucrative to explore. The direction may be clear, but the way up is not always obvious. Our growth-strategy and value-development work gives practical help to build market access and exploration, from achieving more in an existing market with the product you already have to developing new value for existing or new markets. The result is a clear, actionable plan for growth, with the infrastructure and tools to deliver it.

05 principles

Why us

01

Deep insight

We bring together global trends, industry dynamics and regulatory shifts, and combine them with the views of people who truly know the market and live its reality every day. From these many truths, we build one picture of the world.

02

Strategic clarity

We apply a strategic lens to all the market insight we gather. Far more than market data, we bring true meaning and clarity on a market’s composition, direction and context — relevant to your business, or to a deal.

03

Specific

Everything we do is designed to be specific and relevant to your unique scenario — from bottom-up market size modelling based on direct demand drivers, to a value proposition created to resonate with your target customer, to a GTM execution plan aligned with your team’s capacity and capabilities.

04

Objective

When caught up in hunting a deal or new business, it can be difficult to find an objective perspective. We are independent intelligence and strategy partners — and that is exactly what we bring.

05

Actionable

Our goal with every engagement is to provide the foundation for confident strategic decisions. When building a growth strategy, we build it for execution — with the tools and infrastructure to deliver it, in collaboration with the team, not just a pretty deck of slides.

What our clients say

I worked with Irina Cruse & her team from Outlove on a few market research projects to back up our M&A pipeline. In particular, their work on Industrial Fire Safety and the depth and clarity of their strategic analysis were instrumental for us to pursue and complete a couple of acquisitions in that market space.
