Operation, Growth and Risks
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Helping you to capture new market opportunities,
de-risk operation and overcome growth challenges
to enhance productivity
Consumer demand is expanding along with the middle class in developing markets,
as is the competition and business climate. These factors make it critical to have
precision when it comes to operating in this market, from developing the right
products and services, message and package to launching in the right channels, to
providing the right support, to optimising post sales.
At SSCG, we believe that understanding market constraints, creativity and innovation
play an important role in establishing required operation plans for your business and
allocation required resources to foster sustainable growth. The pressure to crack
open markets in developing countries, particularly those at the middle and bottom of
the pyramid, is driving a surge in business-model innovation. The economic
slowdown in the developed world is forcing companies to modify their business
models or create new ones. In addition, the rise of new technology-based and low-
cost rivals is threatening incumbents, reshaping industries, and redistributing profits.
Indeed, the ways by which companies create and capture value through their
business models is undergoing a radical transformation worldwide.
We work closely with our clients in redesigning their business models giving better
competitive edge, mitigate risks and improved business performance. Our innovative
business solutions can help create space for change and drive your business growth.
We deploy great minds to constantly refine ways to produce and deliver services that
meet market demand and customer needs.
