Framework Guide
Four principles to guide your innovation-led consolidation strategy.
The Innovation Synthesis Test
Before any consolidation, map every unique capability across all entities. Ask not "What can we eliminate?" but "What becomes possible when we combine these strengths?"
The Customer Experience Reset
Every consolidation offers a chance to completely reimagine customer relationships. Design ideal customer journeys that leverage all available capabilities.
The Competitive Moat Strategy
Use integration to create capabilities competitors cannot easily replicate. Build genuinely defensible advantages.
The Bold Vision Imperative
Choose between comfortable incrementalism and uncomfortable innovation. Operational efficiency should serve customer value creation.
