Opening the Door to New Markets and Customers

Tri Tool was at a crossroads in its market position. Market dynamics were changing especially in its traditional market areas of nuclear energy, oil and gas production, and power generation.

Medical Device Company

Creating Passion from Pessimism 

Each of the C-suite executives wanted to serve a different market: the CEO wanted to go after big pharma; the CMO, my contact, thought hospital networks were the best bet; and the CTO was voting for physicians’ networks. Because they could not agree, they did nothing. They were spinning in crisis mode and their competitors were moving in.

Challenges

  • Opportunity to address three major market opportunities
  • Lacked talent to compete effectively
  • C-Suite executives fighting about strategic direction
  • Factions and conflicts within marketing, sales and IT departments made progress impossible
