When you’re running a small or medium-sized business it’s a fact of life that  there will always be something out there that’s bigger than you.

And when that thing changes – whether it’s a competitor, an industry regulation, or even the weather – the effects will ripple through your marketplace.

It’s easy to feel like your business is being buffeted on these winds of change, and to feel powerless to counteract it. 

Equally, it might be that you’re the one leading the change and disrupting your sector -- but scaling up is proving a greater challenge. 

New revenue streams can absorb the impact of a fluctuating market. But accessing that lucrative opportunity you’ve identified? Sometimes it’s easier said than done.

At ThinkInnovate, we know that navigating change means something different to every business. We know the solutions will be different too.

We help businesses get a better understanding of what their current customers need – and what their future customers want.

We give small and medium-sized businesses the necessary tools to offer the scale, consistency, operational efficiency and security of their larger counterparts – all while enshrining the agility and flexibility that makes them such an attractive proposition to existing and future clients.

If this has got you thinking about what’s next for your business, then let’s talk.

How can we help?

Every business faces its own challenges, with a unique combination of internal constraints and external demands. You might already know what these are. Or you might be looking for a fresh perspective. Here are a few examples of what we’ve done before - have a look then let’s chat specifically about what the future might look like for your organisation.

Business Strategy

An established medium-sized business was under increasing pressure to improve revenues and profitability, whilst remaining competitive in an increasingly price-sensitive market.

We delivered a full strategic review for the business, and worked with the leadership team to refocus their market positioning, business model, and GTM strategy to support a new phase of growth.

Start-up Scaling

A high-growth tech start-up developed an innovative product offering, released an MVP, and secured their first customer. They then needed to grow into a sustainable business.

We helped them build a plan to introduce a channel sales strategy, grow their team, and develop their product for sales to enterprise customers, making them ready for their next phase of investment.

Operational Effectiveness

A local organisation had proven successful with ad-hoc operations and processes. Expanding to a global remit required a balance of scaling without losing the flexibility that drove its initial success.

We developed a new operational model, processes and team, encompassing finance, legal, facilities, HR and more, supporting the organisation’s growth plans whilst retaining a responsive and adaptable service.

Technology Adoption

A large retailer wanted to explore how they could use consumer technologies to improve their customer experience, whilst also providing a more flexible working environment for employees.

We led an initiative to identify the benefits of potential technologies, evaluate system, culture, and organisational readiness, then create a plan to pilot and test various use cases.
